Leslie Robison: eight options to say no, with a bit of advice

from Leslie Robison's coaching and consulting blog:

Eight options to say no, with a bit of advice

https://www.masteryconsulting.net/post/yes-because-i-can-t-say-no

Here are eight options to say no, with a bit of advice: only the first four work to your advantage. Notice none of them offer a reason for declining. It’s your choice to explain your decision or not. 

1. No.

2. No, thanks.

3. Thank you for asking, but I can’t.

4. Maybe next time. 

5. Absolutely not! 

6. I would never do that!

7. Are you out of your mind? 

8. Not a snowballs’ chance in hell. 

Use them carefully, simply, and intentionally and protect your time, money, and peace of mind confidently.

On second thought, I already had plans for that time and money. Ask me another time. And thanks for asking.
