Don't Be A People Pleaser
There are many reasons why people pleasers hardly ever become successful. When you're always pleasing people, you're mostly going out of your own goal. People will always ask you for something, if you keep on saying yes to everybody then you'll slowly lose yourself. We've been told by the world that it's good to always say yes, but that's not particularly true.
Imagine for a second, that you met Elon Musk, or Mark Zuckerberg, and you ask them to do something outside of their plan for the day; do you think that they'll abandon all that they should do, and say yes to your request? I really don't think so, they'll most likely tell you no, at that moment. And they'll say it quite easily and certainly, because they know that it's not in alignment with their day's plan.
You must first understand that it's not wrong to say no. And stop feeling bad that you'll hurt the person's feelings. You must know that if you don't learn to hurt their feelings, then they'll be the ones hurting your business and your life plan. It's a very important skill to fully understand. The more you say no in a day, the more focused you'll be on the things you say yes to.
You should also know that you should say no to your own self, whenever your desire is asking for something that will not take you where you're going to. In fact, most times it's because you say yes to things that you didn't plan for, that causes you to have unproductive days. Many people know what they must do in a day, but because instead of working, they'll be playing video games or watching movies. Rather they should have said no to those distractions
Thus, you should not please people, neither should you please yourself when what's demanded isn't in line with your goal in the present. Remember, we've only got 24hrs in a day, you should be very concentrated on things that will give you a better life tomorrow. And not be going out of your way to please someone. You may say no with politeness, for example, you may say - maybe some other time or I'm busy at the moment, but I'll get back to you soon. And if it's something that you don't want to do or find useful, simply say it - No.
