Reclaiming Your Power: Saying No Without Apology
00:00:00.000 | "Are you an asshole or not?"
00:00:01.760 | It's in the eye of the beholder.
00:00:03.120 | If you're bad in your mind, that's the biggest problem.
00:00:06.200 | If you're not allowed, it goes against your,
00:00:08.280 | I call this your personal bill of rights.
00:00:09.920 | You might not have a right to say,
00:00:11.440 | "No, I'm not available for that."
00:00:13.200 | You might not have a right to not respond to all the emails.
00:00:16.120 | And as long as you don't have that right,
00:00:18.560 | 'cause you haven't claimed it,
00:00:20.080 | you're gonna feel guilty, you're gonna feel stressed.
00:00:22.000 | So in my personal bill of rights,
00:00:23.040 | I have a right to not respond to all emails.
00:00:25.640 | I'll reply to a lot of some of the emails of my clients.
00:00:29.080 | I'll try to get back to a lot of them,
00:00:30.160 | but not everybody, not all the time.
00:00:31.560 | So someone out there sometimes might think
00:00:34.280 | that is E's guy, he's an asshole
00:00:36.840 | 'cause he didn't do X for me.
00:00:38.800 | And you know what?
00:00:40.320 | That's okay.
00:00:41.200 | So really finding that permission to not do the things
00:00:45.000 | that you truly don't wanna do.
