We’re ending our rest season with one last replay of a popular episode. In this episode we chat about how to say that difficult word “no.”

Saying no to new opportunities is so hard because we want to be helpful and to help others. However, we can’t say yes to everything. Saying yes to it all leaves us exhausted and unable to help in a positive way.

So how do you determine what opportunities to say no to and how do you say no in a kind way? We discuss this by taking you through some questions to ask of each opportunity and some kind ways to say no.

We’re revisiting past podcasts as we take a rest break. We have so many questions about living in the UK in this episode we touch on what we’ve learned from living here. 

We’ve lived in the United Kingdom for six years and have experienced and learned so much from the culture here. There are things we have ingrained into our lives now or are at least working on making them part of our lives. 

We talk about how time is different here, the importance of holiday time, an appreciation for food and travel accessibility. 

We are revisiting some of our most popular past podcasts and this business podcast on figuring out what to focus on in your business has been a favorite. 

These past two years have provided small businesses with ups and downs that have not followed normal trends. When you look back on your numbers to make informed decisions for the future, it’s hard to know what to focus on in the year ahead. 

There is one thing that will help bring in some focus for you even if the data isn’t helping you. It’s understanding why you are in business. This will help direct you as you make decisions going forward. We chat about how this has looked in our business and how you can take decisions back to this why and purpose.
