Episode Synopsis
Where is the thumbs-down button?
We live in a culture of toxic agreeableness
The problem with this formula is that NO is not only an option but necessary.
Imagine if you said YES to every opportunity.
I have often said yes to things that later I regret.
Not saying no creates a ticking time bomb that eventually creates an outburst and a lashing out.
In investing, my work requires that I say no to investment options that don't benefit my clients.
The shiny object syndrome creates wealth destruction, resulting from the inability to say NO.
Saying NO is necessary to achieve any outcome. Saying NO to investing is not an ABSOLUTE need.
I walk away from most investments.
I'm constantly bombarded by the best Wall Street salesmen.
If I can say no, I have a distinct opinion and can't give unbiased advice.
If I can't give unbiased advice, I have become part of the mainstream noise.
Don't underestimate the power of a quality NO.
In what area of your life is the inability to say no interfering with what you want?
