One of the most interesting things I heard about success is that, as it grows, you will get offers. Of all kinds. And one of the most powerful things you can learn to do is to say No – to stay focused on your mission and know when to let go/decline offers so you can reach greater heights.

For instance, now that my martial arts & coaching business is starting to grow, I have started received different offers – to join forces with a Yoga instructor, to move to a new studio, to join a radio program, …

Some I have accepted (they aligned with my journey and help me get to where I want to be). Others, I have had to say No.

Some may be a distraction – while there may be benefits, they may distract you/take you off track from the destination you want to get to. This is why it’s important to bring awareness and constantly ask yourself about your Why – why are you doing this/what are you trying to achieve?

I’ll tell you even more – in some cases, the offer may give benefits and align with you why. However, taking it may mean having to say No/struggling with another option that also gives you benefits and aligns with your way. But this second option does it in a far greater way. So let’s say, if the first option benefits you 3/10 and the second option benefits you 8/10. You may also need to say No to the first one – do not go through business in autopilot and driven by impulses. Take a step back, assess, and make decisions wisely.

There is an old martial arts saying that can be helpful here: ‘Measure twice. Cut once’. Do not rush into decisions that you may regret. While we have to make decisions to move forward, at the same time, do not do them out of impulse – assess and then call the shots.

Today, I also leave you with one of these offers. A podcast by our friend Estee*, to which one we said yes. Estee very kindly offered for us to join her show and our missions align – to help others become the best version of yourself.

So, if you have any fear that is stopping you from reaching your goals or you just… want to hear some of Carles’ bad jokes 😳. Check it out:
