Sometimes is really hard to say no especially to your costumer and that can be really bad mistake for your business, your brand and of course for your costumer. If you feel that you will don't have enough time to do all the work what you need its better to not accept it!

Thank you for sharing this advices how to say no! :)

Hi Paul,

I think seeing value in your time is the first step. Many people I know, entrepreneurs and others, either fail to understand what their time is really worth or, alternatively, misjudge the amount of time they will need to invest in a project. Either way, it can lead to over commitment. Once you begin to understand the investment your time represents (and the opportunity cost in terms of projects that will be delayed or not completed as a result) it becomes easier to say no to investments you simply cannot afford.
