3 Times You Have To Say NO: Soft Promotions, Scope Creep, and Burnout

Weekends are when I visit new cupcake shops, take Canela to her favorite nature spots, and play fetch like it’s a full-time job.

But if I’m honest, this life didn’t come from luck.

It came from learning how to say no.

Saying no can feel uncomfortable. Even awkward.

But you know what feels even worse?

People-pleasing your way into a drained bank account.

This week’s issue of The 6-Figure Tech Writer breaks down...

🚩
3 moments when you have to say no:

· When your boss gives you a “soft promotion”

· When you’re at capacity and tempted to say yes anyway

· When a client asks for “just one more tiny thing” that’s definitely out of scope

I actually memorize maps of the city and then walk to new places. I never get lost and I almost never need to open google maps. Little kid me who used to get lost all the time would be SO proud 😸

With everything so seemingly terrible these days & no sign of anything remotely hopeful in the near future, I thought you might need this photo of a baby giraffe.

I've just updated my website with pretty important info you can see below.

www.brainfart.dev

Please don't come to the comments section to tell me "brainfart" is not the best domain to sell services. I know. I don't care.
