She explains why saying no to low-value clients and requests is essential for maintaining profitability and mental well-being. Harman offers a three-step plan for saying no effectively: knowing your priorities, using polite scripts, and offering alternatives. She encourages listeners to start by declining one low-value request this week and tracking the benefits.
