Entrepreneurs and small business owners are usually optimists by nature. After all, they started or have built a company. But you might have the tendency in startups and smaller companies to say yes too often which can be a bad habit since it may result in wasted time, becoming over-committed, losing focus and getting burnt out. At the end, you might make poor decisions and the business might suffer due to lack of resources or simply a lack of focus. What’s the solution? You might need to say ‘No’ more often.
