Dash Bash
summary
Argues that learning to say no preserves creative quality and staff wellbeing by using concrete tactics: honest bids, level‑setting timelines, and walking away from impossible scopes. Recommends practices like pay people early and negotiating realistic deliverables rather than cutting corners. Cites a common mismatch: a six week job pushed into three weeks, and notes outcomes — studios shed low‑value clients, attract higher opportunities, and report longevity like ten years without nights and weekends. Advocates to ignore hustle and prioritize people.
