“The most important lesson I’ve learned in this business is how to say no. I have said no to a lot of temptations, and I am glad I did.”

-Penelope Cruz

I have to agree on that one. I was never a yes woman, however when it came to business I thought it was a good thing to always say yes and be up for the challenge. Problem is, there are only so many hours in a day, so there is only so much you can do. That being said, saying yes to everything may very well compromise not only your integrity but also your time. It’s ok to say no in business, you don’t always have to say yes. I find that people respect you a lot more as well when they see that you are grounded, and know what works for you from what doesn’t.
