You need to say "no" more often

[Starmix]

You need to say "no" more often. Taking on too many tasks will make you feel overwhelmed. Your time and energy are limited. Every time you say yes to someone else, you say no to yourself. Prioritize wisely especially in business, if you keep on saying yes to the customers who want to ask for a series of discounts, then they will not stop asking for it, so better give a break and say, NO more often than yes. Regardless of what they will feel because of your refusal, but if your services are of good quality and the products too, rest assured, they will come back to you.

Definitely, there's time for everything. Time to say yes or No. it is to use any at the appropriate time

 

[Joshua Farrell]

Yeah, there are a few things I need to enforce a no as a response more frequently than I do, as some things I feel like I need to be more consistent on whether or not I will do something for everyone, or someone specific.

 

[Starmix]

Though it hurts sometimes to deny someone especially a customer, but it's necessary to avoid getting used to saying, yes, despite insignificant.

Always being a “yes” person can adversely affect your mental health or your business. There are times you must say no to protect yourself or your business.

 

[Starmix]

We have to impose to ourselves discipline or self control because not all we say Yes to the customers receives a good return.

Most times we get scared to say no, we reason things like what would the next person say or what would they think about us. Saying no does not make you a bad person in any way. You are simply doing things accordingly to you capabilities and taking care of your health.

You are so roght, there are times we are afraid to say No, but if reasonable, the person may understand. It is good training on our part to say no more often.

Indeed. We must know how to say "no" at times. If we always say yes, some people can be abusive.

I should definitely learn to say no. I am very generous by nature and have lost money through lending it to people who never paid it back. I can't understand why some do that because obviously I will never lend them money again. I suppose they just move on to the next idiot!

There are people like that ingrate. I'm also a victim friends of mine borrowing money without paying me. One time, one of them came to me to borrow again I strongly said, No.

It's the same thing with services. If you keep giving services people start taking them for granted.

Agree with you, Let us not let them do it to us. Let us be keen so that we will not be outsnarted by them who are used to it.

Customers or services we have to draw the line somewhere or we get exploited.

There are wise customers, they are comparing you to other stores. They want to get your sympathy only to know the prices of the other stores are the same as yours.

 

[aninditasen]

Some customers tell lies as some service providers too. All want to become gainers.

 

[Starmix]

That's right, they're thinking they're wise. They don't realise they're observed and manners like theirs must not be tolerated.

 

[AruneBend]

Yes I think that sometimes saying no is better option then yes there are some people who can't say no they should learn how to

 

[Starmix]

It's good to be brave sometimes. Let's never be afraid or ashamed to say No. Let's also be firmed to gain respect.

This is one of my major problem. I don't know how to say no to people. And is hurting my business. Most times, what i receive in return is lack of appreciation. Now, am learning how to be selfish and self centered. Life is a learning process, you can never learn enough.
