Not every opportunity is a good opportunity.
Most creatives don’t burn out because of bad clients - or even bad time management. They burn out because they say yes too much.
You can’t do it all.
If you’re feeling Overworked, Underpaid and little Resentful… it might be a “saying yes” problem.
Here’s a 3-question filter that’s helped me (and the creative entrepreneurs I coach) avoid burnout:
✅ Does this align with my long-term goals?
✅ Will it pay me what I’m worth—or lead to something bigger?
✅ What am I saying no to if I say yes?
Saying no isn’t selfish—it’s leadership.
Guard your time like your business depends on it...
Because it does.
