You can't do anything if a person says no. In such a case, there's nothing you can do - unlike the popular cliche that pressure is exerted, or that maybe an unwilling source is done away with.

In every place there are 100 people who can say no and only one person who can say yes. You have to get a good piece of material to the right person.

The hard thing for me is to say no to people.

Just keep saying yes to everything - until you can afford to say no.

Try to never say 'yes' on the phone; instead, say, 'I'll get back to you.' When you're actually speaking to someone, the desire to be accommodating is very strong, and can lead you to say 'yes' without enough consideration.

I don't like saying 'no' to people, and I'm going to have to learn how to say 'no' more.

There are too many things I find it difficult to say 'no' to.

I'm a person who has a hard time saying no, and it gets me into trouble because I sometimes overreach.

I have been accused of never saying no.
