Just Say No!

Please please please just say NO!

In business you get inquiries all the time and from everyone.- from people you don’t know at all to friends. When I get an inquiry I know that my pricing isn’t going to fit into everyone’s budget and I’m ok with that and really if you say no it’s not going to hurt my feelings because I understand. There are things that I want and it just doesn’t fit within the my budget either. I am begging you though – Please just say No!

I figure if you don’t like my style you’re not reaching out to me anyway.

I would honestly rather you say no than “oh I’ll let you know” and after me reaching out to you a couple of times you still haven’t given me an answer or the worst is if you just completely ignore me. If you want me to do it for free or a discounted rate you’re going to have to tell me upfront because I’m not offering that. After all I have one kid graduating from high school this year and another one next year. -I got some big things to pay for on the horizon. If we’re friends or acquaintances it’s 10 times worse when you don’t get back to me because I see the pictures and I do take it personally then. If you tell me upfront I don’t take it personally at all I’m actually relieved that you’ve been upfront with me.

Just be honest and upfront with me. Actually not just with me with every business big or small. It’s important!

PS- those of you that have a company or a brand you need to be honest with people approaching you as well. After all nobody likes getting the run around or being ignored. Just say NO
