Saying No to our potential as an entrepreneur and real prospects for business growth, depriving it of the chance to take the place it truly deserves. Exactly, YES . The most dangerous, destructive word in business is YES . I know what youre thinking. What the hell, Mike? Business is all about getting the customer to say yes to your offer . And the job of an entrepreneur is to always say yes to your customers. After all, the customer is always right. Right? Wrong! Mortally wrong.

And a client asks you to just rake the fallen leaves on his property. Yep! Easy as pie. Fast, easy money. But while youre raking leaves, you cant mow another clients lawn. And you certainly cant take a phone call from a potential client who wants to have their lawn mowed. And now that your business is focused on leaf blowing and lawn.
Mowing, you are missing out on the opportunity to take on more lawn mowing jobs and the business growth opportunities that come from effectively specializing in one activity. Then you go to the office, the phone rings and youre asked if you do gutter cleaning. You need money, and the job seems as trivial and profitable as raking leaves. SORT OF. So you take it on. But while youre on the road, another opportunity to mow grass and get a steady client passes you by. But youll never know. Since youre raking leaves, it makes sense to do some exterior.
