Hi Reader,

"A leader has to say no more often than they say yes."
- Cameron Herold

Learning to say no is crucial.

It drives better decision-making, efficiency, and focuses on what truly matters.

Become a leader who knows the value of denying unnecessary distractions.

This hit me like a brick

I've been diving deep into business models and leadership.

Cameron's insights stood out.

He reminded me that leaders need the courage to say no.

Not to appease but to stay true to the core strategy.

I learned that cutting the excess instead of just looking for more revenue can be a game changer.

Building a business isn't about constant expansion. It's about focus, discipline, and strategic cuts.

Embracing these principles can steer around unnecessary waste and drive real progress.

It's not just about personal growth; it's about fostering a culture where everyone thrives.
