."10. You Need to Say “No” to Someone You Really Want to Help
Hey Angela,
Thanks for your note.
I’m so proud of you for deciding to apply for that small business owner award—and I’m flattered that you’d like to bring my brain into the mix.
I need to say “no,” because my week is already quite full—and I know it wouldn’t be sane (or humane) for me to add anything new to my plate.
But I would love to support you in a different way.
I’ve attached a couple of worksheets that I created for a recent writing workshop—including a couple of templates that will help you to craft a bio, a manifesto, and a few other pieces for your application.
Thank you for being such a wonderful friend and colleague. I am honored to be part of your world.
Good luck with the contest! I know you’re going to do a terrific job.
Alex
