If you want to say “No”, never say “Yes”.

If you want to say “No”, never say “Yes”.

If you want to say “No”, never say “Yes”. Politely, kindly but firmly say:” No” or negotiate.

👉

“The doors will be open to those who are bold enough to knock.”

Be bold and go after your dream life and beyond. Everything is negotiable. Remember that this is YOUR LIFE we're talking about.

👉

"In life, you don't get what you deserve; you get what you negotiate." - Chester Karrass

So negotiate your heart out and get the best for yourself and your loved ones. Don’t settle just because somebody said: “It’s not possible.”

People create rules and deadlines and people are negotiable so smile and push back…gently

🙂

"Everything is negotiable. Whether or not the negotiation is easy is another thing." - Carrie Fisher

Being flexible in our negotiations is the key to successful communication. It’s always best to look for options where BOTH PEOPLE WIN.

👉

"Win-win is a belief in the third alternative. It's not your way or my way; it's a better way, a higher way." - Stephen Covey

🏆
Ask yourself:” Is there another option I've not noticed before?” You might be surprised how often you get to see that other option after asking the question. I’m not sure how works but it does :))

What we send out comes back to us, so be your kind and wonderful self while negotiating, and say 'Yes!' to your success!

Keep shining and keep smiling!

✨✨


Have a super powerful day!
