What I meant by "most success-driven people have this as motto, 'never say no'" is to emphasize the yes mentality. When I say "yes", not really on all things (including non-sense) but "yes" to more and more tasks or responsibilities that leads them to exhaustion. Accomplishments and staying focus are really necessary to success.. but be on the guard for it may be too much.. and that's when you should learn to say no. :) Hi Mike, thanks for clarifying. What I meant by “most success-driven people have this as motto, ‘never say no’” is to emphasize the yes mentality.

" I don't think most success driven people do that at all. In fact, all success driven people I know have very specific standards they adhere to and use those standards in deciding to respond with yes or no as well. Perhaps the yes mentality is true when it comes to accomplishments, but no is critical to staying focused, which you've outlined and I certainly agree with.
