“One half of knowing what you want is knowingwhat you must give up before you get it.”

Sidney Coe Howard

Have you ever said "yes" when you really wanted to say

"no"? Does pressure from others make you uncomfortable? Do

you find yourself living out others’ priorities and not your own?

You are not alone.

Most of us struggle with saying "no" at some point in our lives.

But to say "yes" to God’s calling on your life as an entrepreneur,

you will have to prune other things out of your life.

The first step in saying "yes" to God’s wonderful plans for your

life is to identify your true priorities. Not just the big picture, "God

wants me to build a business," but all the steps and sacrifices

required to get that business built. 

Secondly, you must learn how to say "no" firmly and politely, shed

the guilt and live out your calling with joy and intention.

To live a life pleasing to God and fulfill the calling He has on your

life your "yeses" and "no's" can only be determined by Him.

God has a beautiful life planned for you. Begin exercising your

"no" muscle today. Good things will come of it.

It sounds like a great ideabut someone else will bebetter suited for that job.

I know that many peopleare fine with that, but itisn't what God is calling meto do.

This is not the right time (orseason of life) for me. I'll besure to let you know whenthat changes.

I realize that I've done thatin the past, but I'm not ableto do it anymore. It's a joyto have served in thiscapacity.

If I had known earlier Imight have been able tomake it work, butunfortunately, it's just notpossible now.

It would be moreappropriate for you to takecare of that yourself.
