Learn to say "no"
The trick to finding the right partner is to stop focusing on finding the unicorn that can do it all. – Mauricio Rojas Hacker, Head of Strategic Alliance @ Google Cloud

You have to say "no" to good things to make room for something great. Every No you give out is ultimately a Yes to something else.
