Steve Jobs once said it is only by saying “no” that you can concentrate on the things that are really important. But saying no is not something that comes naturally to most entrepreneurs particularly in the early days of a business. In this episode Tim and Elana breakdown the process of saying no. We talk identifying the right opportunities to green light, building the muscle of saying no without killing innovation and the often hidden cost and dangers of saying yes.

Are you currently not where you think you want to be? (Read that again)! Where you’re at is a reflection of your current ability and decisions.  We all feel that we’re smarter than the next person - that we know more and can do more - but are we just unlucky or perhaps we haven’t had the same opportunities. That's a good fairytale. To change trajectory, you will decide to be one of two types of people; those who decide to never breakthrough, and those who say “here is where I’m at, here are my deficiencies, and here is what I need to change to get where I want to go.” So which will you choose to be today? Embracing change and the unknown is the gateway to all the answers we need as business owners to access all the things we want to achieve. When this idea becomes part of who you are, you strangely might find that you become a person who finds peace in evolution and beauty in the consistent execution of fundamentals. In this podcast dive into how you can fall in love with the frustrations of mastering the fundamentals, and why those who practice this eventually make the complex look easy.   Join the Backable community Below  Member’s FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/backable Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/13903426/ Podcast: https://www.podfollow.com/backable Backable IG: https://www.instagram.com/backableai/ Tim’s IG: https://www.instagram.com/timkrotiris/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu5iJiD0VT6hEOS_EgcAGjw?

At some point in your business career, I am sure you have been told to stay in your own lane, to not look and compare yourself to what others are doing or have achieved.   This is often sound advice if you are comparing from a place of negativity or jealousy but in a performance environment comparison can be a vital tool in progressing your company forward through gap or opportunity identification, particularly when you compound efforts in the right strategic areas.     Today we discuss the competitive advantage that comparison can give you in your business and life.   Stay safe and enjoy.
