Say No, Win Big: Boost Profits with Boundaries

November 10, 2025 • Harman • Episode 28

In this episode of Money First, CEO, Harman Johnston discusses the critical importance of setting boundaries in business. Harman shares a personal story about the costly mistake of saying yes to a rush job, highlighting how it drained her resources and affected her profits. She explains why saying no to low-value clients and requests is essential for maintaining profitability and mental well-being. Harman offers a three-step plan for saying no effectively: knowing your priorities, using polite scripts, and offering alternatives. She encourages listeners to start by declining one low-value request this week and tracking the benefits. The key takeaway is that setting boundaries allows business owners to focus on high-margin clients and tasks, leading to greater profits and a more sustainable business.
