What do you say “yes” to that you shouldn’t?
In this episode, we’re talking about people-pleasing.
People-pleasing is an important part of being an interior designer, but it has a time and a place. People-pleasing often leads to giving away your time when really you don’t have time to be giving away! The problem is that many of us have a hard time saying no.
I’m listing some of the areas where you are likely giving away your time to be a people pleaser and sharing some strategies to help you break the habit of saying yes to everything.
This episode will help you stop saying yes to things that don’t serve you.
