About this episode
Sometimes saying "yes" can cause us undue stress and leave us feeling overcommitted, behind, and even resentful.
Yes can cost you time, money, energy, burned bridges, quality, and more.
In this episode, I talk about building a thriving business that isn’t about saying yes to everything and everyone; it’s actually about saying NO more often.
This two-letter magical strategy can change your entire life.
Inside the episode:
- Seasons for yes and seasons for no -which one are you in?
- The financial, time, energy, relationship, quality, and health cost of "yes"
- 4 Questions to ask before taking on something new
- Introducing your new two-letter strategy: 5 "No's" to implement in your business
- How to say no without burning bridges
- And more!

Say YES to connecting with me (or no to waiting to connect, you're choice :))
I’m Emily Aborn, a Small Business Copywriter and host of Small Business Casual. I help small businesses grow with marketing that makes a distinct imprint. I believe that sharing your work goes beyond strategies, frameworks, content for content’s sake, more social media posts, more, more, more.
Successful marketing starts with a big picture approach and begins with genuine connection as you step into becoming (and sharing) the real YOU.
