    ⭐️⭐️ Special thanks to our sponsor, Vanta AI. Get $1000 off at vanta.com/mydailybusiness  ⭐️⭐️ In this episode, Fiona talks about life's cycles and transitions, inspired by her son's primary school graduation, and how the constant need to start over as a beginner applies directly to running a small business.

    Episode 576: What's on your No List in 2026?

    ⭐️⭐️ Special thanks to our sponsor, Vanta AI. Get $1000 off at vanta.com/mydailybusiness  ⭐️⭐️ What if creating a list of what you WON'T do could be more powerful than your goals for 2026? In this coaching episode, I'm diving deep into the concept of your "No List" - a boundary document that could save you time, energy, and money while helping you focus on what actually matters. We often identify who we are by understanding who we are not, and your No List works the same way. From saying no to coffee meetings during work hours to declining "pick your brain" requests unless people pay for your expertise, this episode will help you create clear boundaries that free you up for bigger opportunities. You'll discover: • Why boundaries don't limit you - they free you • Real examples of what might go on your No List (no more courses, no traveling for speaking gigs, no pretending to be someone you're not) • How to make your No List specific and actionable • Why saying no to the wrong things means saying yes to the right ones • The difference between successful people and really successful people (hint: it's about what they say no to) Perfect timing as we head into 2026. This isn't about being negative - it's about being intentional with your most precious resources: your time, energy, and attention.  Sponsored by Vanta AI: vanta.com/mydailybusiness Sign the Not a Date to Celebrate petition here Connect with My Daily Business: Instagram: @mydailybusiness_TikTok: @mydailybusinessEmail: hello@mydailybusiness.comWebsite: mydailybusiness.comResources mentioned: Vanta AIAI Monthly Chat Group for Small Business OwnersHow to Get Your Book Published course Join our AI Chat Group for small business ownersMy Daily Business courses - mydailybusiness.com/courses Special thanks to our sponsor, Vanta AI.
