Summary

In this episode, I talk about the cost of being too available. There is a season where saying yes to everything makes sense, but most people stay in that season for way too long. When you say yes to everyone and everything, you kill your presence, your energy, and your authority. Being over available tells people your time has no value. I break down how this happens and how to start protecting your time again. Show Notes: [02:01]#1 Availability signals low demand.  [05:15]#2 Over available people get pulled into everyone else's agendas. [10:09]#3 You want to be chosen and not common. [17:18] Recap Episodes Mentioned: 2096: The 3 Seasons Of Your Work (And How To Manage Them) Next Steps: --- Power Presence is not taught. It is enforced. If you are operating in environments where hesitation costs money, authority, or leverage, the Power Presence Mastermind exists as a controlled setting for discipline, execution, and consequence-based decision-making. Details live here: http://PowerPresenceProtocol.com/Mastermind  This Masterclass is the public record of standards. Private enforcement happens elsewhere.

Work on your game. Work on your game. Work on your game.

into dominance. Today's topic is the cost of being over available. There is a season,

ladies and gentlemen, for saying yes. There is a yes season for all of you and you should just be open to everything. I'll talk about this in

episode 2096, the three seasons of your work and how to manage them. One of those seasons is the

yes season. Every opportunity, every call, every chance, every meeting, say yes to it because you never

know what could be on

1:20.5
