My “yes” and “no” balance has been better these last 10 years since I made this video, and I hope this nostalgic video inspires others to find more balance in either YES OR NO .. the balance of the two leads to so much more success .. too many say “no” to everything out of fear .. others say “yes” too often out of an abundance of optimism.. find your balance

Very much for most of my career. Have had the yes virus and as somebody somebody who gets much more uh satisfaction out of helping others than myself. It's hard to say no and it feels selfish to say no. But what i'm realizing as i'm getting older is the gray hairs start coming in um.

I've been able to accomplish a lot more by saying. No more often first of all the big eye opener to me is how many people actually respect you saying no coming up front and saying. Hey listen i've got you know vaynermedia to build we're up to 120 employees. We're at 25.

I would have never been able to get to this place in the last year. If i kept saying yes to everything.

    Okay, “So I won’t go airsofting with my friends.” Thanks I needed some support with my decision to say no to this offer since I am tight on budget and need to save money for myself.

    I've had to say no a lot. It's hard, especially when someone was really hopeful you would help them out. But I have to be jealous over the time I spend. And often it's more considerate to them to forward them along to someone who can really give them the time they need than to give them hope and then bow out later.
