Do you feel that you constantly are taking on more projects than you can handle because you can’t say no? Well we have a new way for you to say no!
Recently Felena Hanson discovered an infographic online that displayed a study that discusses the difference between “I can’t” and “I don’t.” Instead of saying I can’t help you, you are supposed to say I don’t have time to support you or I don’t do that. It helps you physically feel better because it is assertive. You are more likely to cave if you say I can’t to someone vs I don’t.
Skyler recently implemented this theory when it came to a community service partnership. She told the company she did not have the capacity to help the company for free, but she referred them to someone who was in the process of building their practice who would be interested in helping out.
Knowing the difference between I can’t and I don’t is helping Skyler filter future endeavors. We want to hear your experience with saying I can’t vs I don’t!
