The Power of Saying NO: A Mindfulness Strategy for the People Pleaser Entrepreneurs

Now that you’ve discovered your entrepreneurial inner saboteur, it’s time to tackle it with targeted mindfulness exercises. Here’s how you can move past those self-sabotaging habits and step into your power.

 


You’re everyone’s go-to person—except for yourself. The People Pleaser says yes to everything, often at the expense of their own priorities and mental well-being.


Mindfulness Exercise: Boundaries Check-In

  • Before agreeing to anything, pause and take three deep breaths.

  • Ask yourself:

    • Does this align with my goals?

    • What will I need to sacrifice to say yes?

  • Practice responding with: “Let me check my schedule and get back to you.” Or, wait for it, use "No." as a complete sentence.


Pro Tip: Use a scheduling app to block “focus time” in your calendar, making it easier to protect your priorities.
