How to say NO if someone wants you to say yes
No. So short word but it's so difficult to pronounce it. But you must know how to say no or you will turn into a unpaid workhorse for everyone who know how to make you say yes.
1. "I'll think about it". Okay, maybe you'll think over this offer. Next week. Or next month. Or never. But let him think that you're going to think about it right now - become very preoccupied and ask him to live you alone.
2. Distract his attention from you. Exclaim "Look, what is it?" pointing the finger at something and cut out while he is looking at this.
3. Call on conscience. Yes, you can. But how about your leisure time? Or maybe he is going to pay for it? If the last, then charge an extremely high price. At least, you will get rich.
4. Make him think you're very busy. Just now, you're deep in drafting of a report about ways to say no if...
5. Blackmail. All right. But his wife will know that he turned his secretaries into the high-paid... Or who got this old expensive jewelry, which his grandma had to present to his wife... Or where is... It's enough.
6. Training. Just repeat "no" as your mantra, several times per day, even if you want to say yes. Just for any case.
7. Perform a show of one actor. Where the actor can show everything, even something strange or terrible. Frighten him or make him laugh. Let him think you went mad.
8. Accede to a request. But agree to a half of work. Sure, you'll empty the garbage-can but tomorrow or in the middle of the way.
9. Do it. But do it in such a way that he will never even come up to you to ask for something. Let him eliminate the damage all his life long. For example, become her husband or marry her.
10. Tell him about the last guy who had heard yes from you. Show the photos where he is plastered from top to toes, where his car is crashed, where his house is burnt to ashes. Find all the necessary photos on the net and keep them within easy reach.
Warning: Saying no, get ready to hear the same.
