Turning down business seems to go against everything we've ever been taught, but sometimes, it may be the smartest thing you can do.
When Rosalie and I read Michelle Golden's post, "Knowing When (and How) to Say No," we both knew we had to share it. As Rosalie put it, "Some of this I couldn't have said better myself. Experts will sometimes accept any and all comers (the same wrong thinking as offering low rates), hoping it will lead to success, whereas it results in the opposite. I hope experts will read and heed this good advice."
Check it out and let us know -- have you ever said no? Have you regretted NOT saying no?

Yes and yes. The first time I said "no," was a liberating experience, and completely the right call to make. Saying "no" allows us to more actively pursue the projects we have accepted.
