If It’s Not ‘Hell, Yes’ Then It’s ‘Hell, NO!’

Alexandria Brown (someone I have learned a great deal from, to say the least) said this lately in one of her presentations. I’ve kept it posted near my desk for the last couple of months and decided I should post it for you, too!

The idea, of course, is that when we are trying to decide what to do and what not to do (something most of us fret over an inordinate amount of time), then this can be our measure. When you are examining an invitation, an opportunity, a project, what is your gut response? Hell, yes! Well then go for it. If it’s not a ‘Hell, yes’ response, then just walk away.

What would change today if you did that? Let’s see what everyone says. Just comment below.
