One of the keys to success is setting healthy boundaries. As Warren Buffet says, ” The difference between successful people is that really successful people say NO to almost everything.” Well, I was taught you should always say YES? I had the chance to bring my friend Michael on the show to share his perspective on this topic and he was an amazing resource.
