The Power of No: Why Saying Yes Is Stalling Your Progress

Nine p. M. To midnight might be the most important three hour window in a twenty four hour day for those who are frustrated, resentful, struggling, not fulfilled, unhappy, curious, determined, hopeful and ambitious. And if someone says I'm too tired, well then then that's that, then live in it. This is the GaryVee audio experience. Good to see everybody. Very excited for Tea with GaryVee episode 100. A nice little milestone. Team made a nice video. I said we don't celebrate but I appreciate the effort. We may still post it. Raghav, you got a question? What is the power of no? Power of no is something that I've struggled with. In fact, over the weekend I told AJ that, Michael Rubin from Fanatics said something twice now, one in a one on one meeting, one in a group thing I was in last week, where he has the same problem that I have, which is even if 13 different ideas are all right, collectively they're wrong because you're just stretching a little too thin.

You're fearful of wasting time and I think I'm a little bit on the other side and I need to get a little bit better at No, and I would say this year I got better at it. I'm trying to get even stronger at it but finding the balance between yes and no. Actually, everybody who's in the chat right now, all 700 of you, let's get the shares going right now but I have a question for all 700 of you right now. How many of you feel like you're saying yes to too many things and how many of you feel like you're saying no to too many things? Say yes or no. Just a good old fashioned yes or no and thank you for everybody who's reposting. I see you. Say you're saying yes to too many things or no to too many things and it's gonna be interesting to see. Nice little mix of both. Yeah, I think all of us are trying …
