“And For That Reason, I’m Out”

If you’ve ever watched the hit TV show, “Shark Tank”, you’re likely familiar with the phrase.

It’s spoken by the investors when they’ve arrived at the conclusion that they don’t want to participate in a proposed business deal, and the direct simplicity of that phrase speaks volumes about he decision-making process that led up to it.

And believe it or not, you may have more in common with the Sharks than you realize.

If you are focused on and working toward a major goal (or goals), you know how demanding the journey can be. And as a leader, people come at you from all directions, asking for your time, energy, focus and even resources.

Whether you are a parent, an influencer, a decision-maker or leader of any type, at some point you have know when to say “I’m in”, and when to say, “I’m out.”

But what if you have that internal tug-of-war that pulls you in both directions? What if you feel the pressure to say “yes” more than you want to (or are even capable of) and know you must draw the line…no matter how unpopular it may be?

Join JT for an in-depth conversation about how to be selective about your commitments and how to make solid decisions about where you invest your time, energy and focus.

In this episode, we discuss:
- Why being clear about what you stand for (and against) is a critical tenet of leadership
- The importance of keeping the desired end in mind, and what happens if you don't
- The “plus and minus” of setting high standards (and how to do it effectively)
- What happens when you tell someone “no” (and how to prepare for the aftermath)
- How to honor your boundaries…even in the face of temptation
- and more
