65: Breaking the Yes Habit: A Lawyer's Guide to Saying “No”

A Different Practice

As lawyers and entrepreneurs, we're wired to seize every opportunity – but what if saying 'no' could be your most powerful business strategy? In this episode, I dive deep into why saying 'no' feels so impossible, especially for legal professionals, and how to transform this challenge into a strength. You'll discover why that gut-level 'yes' reflex might be holding you back, learn practical strategies for buying yourself time to make better decisions, and master the art of declining opportunities while maintaining relationships. 

Whether you're struggling with client overload, burning out from constant availability, or simply trying to align your practice with your values, this episode provides the framework and language you need to protect your time, energy, and, ultimately, your practice. Stop letting guilt drive your decisions – it's time to start saying “no”.
