Fractional work only works if you say no.
No to things that don’t fit your slice.
No to the client who wants full-time hands but part-time price.
No to the founder who wants a co-founder, not a fractional.
No to that one last hour on Slack Sunday night.
You don’t get clarity from a well-written offer.
You get it from a boundary.
Saying no isn’t being difficult. It’s how you stay available for the work you do say yes to.
Every yes without a no is a time bomb. Quiet now, but expensive later.
You are not the catch-all. You’re not the fallback. You’re not the “well, we already have them here so maybe…”
You picked your slice.
Act like it.
What are you saying yes to that you shouldn’t be?
