Everyone Tells You To Say No (And They’re Dead Wrong)

If I said “no” to all the things I didn’t want to do when I was 21, I’d be picking my nose and playing beer pong all day.

Instead, I said yes to going back to school and getting my masters degree (not recommended for everyone).

I said yes to an Account Manager role. I said yes to any client that would be crazy enough to listen to my half-assed sales pitch. I said yes to any and all deals and targets that crossed me.

I said yes to a Director of Purchasing promotion. I said yes to becoming the President.

And I said yes to becoming CEO.

The real reason you’re losing arguments is that your points are all inward. They’re all about you.

You can motivate yourself to work harder without doing extra mental work.

No meditation. No retreats. No weekend-long planning sessions.

We all do things that don’t inspire us. They fall outside of our critical A & B level activities.

That’s the nature of the beast.

In every job.

But if you want to succeed, you need to be motivated. You need to be inspired by your work.

I lost $500,000. It was my fault. Gone before it even started. No excuses. The reason? I missed a critical step in my core negotiating strategy. Okay, it wasn’t a step, it was half the plan.

We had won a big deal for a Skylink maintenance project. The order was received. The deal was sealed.

But I missed a fundamental step in my core negotiating strategy, and it cost me a lot of money...
