Introduction

Eventually, there comes a time when we all have to stand up for ourselves.

You’ve been taken advantage of for too long. You’ve become that go-to person for every project and committee. You are targeted because everyone around you has found out your secret: you can’t help but say yes

...even when you don’t want to.

Don’t be taken advantage of another minute. It’s time to take charge of your life.

Rather than thinking of ‘no’ as being negative, you need to realize the positive energy that’s packed into this two-letter word.

Saying ‘no’ is a powerful thing, that will change how you think about your life – and yourself.

In this book, you’re going to learn when to say ‘no’ and how to say it in a way that keeps your relationships intact. You’ll become comfortable with saying ‘no’ in a way that will stay with you for the rest of your life.

It’s a fantastic journey you’re about to embark on. Let’s get started, with the power of no.
