Stop saying yes to the wrong things—start choosing the right more.In this episode of the Mindset Architect Podcast, Tony Caliendo, Master Coach at Rethink Coaching, breaks down one of the most overlooked success principles: not all opportunities are the right opportunities.
So many of us get caught in the trap of more—more projects, more commitments, more obligations—thinking that busyness equals success. But what if saying yes to the wrong things is actually blocking the right opportunities from showing up?
Tony shares:- Why we fall into the “trap of more” and how to recognize it.
- The hidden costs of saying yes too often—burnout, resentment, and lost joy.
- How to identify your values, goals, and vision so you can choose the right “more.”
- The power of a strategic no and how to use it without guilt.
- Practical ways to build a habit of choosing the right opportunities and stepping into flow.
If you’ve ever felt stretched thin, frustrated, or out of alignment, this episode will help you reclaim your time, energy, and joy.
