0:15.1	Han. And now on to the show. Hey friends. Okay, this week we're talking about saying no. Why are we talking
0:25.0	about saying no? I thought this was all about saying yes. It is. And that's why we're
0:31.2	going to talk about why the no is so important because it's in service of that bigger, yes, picking up where we were last week.
0:41.3	This week I want to talk about the different kinds of noes that you want to say.
0:45.3	I want to talk about the one no that you might already be saying but have no idea that you're
0:51.7	saying.
0:52.8	I want to talk about the signs that a no is tapping
0:57.0	you on the shoulder that you're ready to start saying. And I want to give you a few different
1:01.3	scripts that you can use to help you say no, as well as a couple of really great no resources.
1:09.9	Okay. I'm going to start with like the basics of why no is so important.

2:02.1	There's nowhere to put the sloth, which means that when I come home, I am either going to have the sloth somewhere that it doesn't belong, or I'm going to have to scramble to make all this space for it, or we're going to like put the sloth on top of the books or we're going to have to like jumble the books to get it.

And what's going to happen is this sloth that I've like waited my whole life to get for my shelf tier system. it's not going to feel good. And I'm going to be like,
