How to Say No
How to Say No Book Cover

In How to Say No...and Live to Tell About It, author Mary Byers tackles the challenges of overwhelmed and overworked women, teaching them strategies for saying no in order to protect limited resources of time, talent, and finances.

82% of women surveyed indicated they have trouble saying no to such requests

A former “yes-aholic,” Byers discusses how to say no graciously and without feelings of guilt as she offers tips women can use to evaluate commitments, priorities, and energy levels so they can realistically decide what to take on.

In these pages, you’ll learn:

  • when yes isn’t the logical answer
  • how to identify the best use of your time
  • how you can use your gifts and talents more effectively
  • ways to turn down opportunities graciously
  • how to gain more time to spend with your family


Learn to say no and you make it possible to say yes to the things in life that really matter.

“Say yes to Mary Byers’ wonderful new book—and to living with passion and purpose. A must-read for every woman!”

Cyndy Salzmann, author
Making Your Home a Haven

 

“Say ‘Yes’ to reading this book because the one word that every wife, mother, and woman should be learning to say along with her toddler is a resounding ‘No!’ Mary Byers has nailed it! This excellent, practical manual shows all of us how to say No with grace, compassion, and practice. Mary has convinced me to become a recovering Yesaholic! ‘No’ is the word that gives all of us the freedom to truly live the priorities we profess to possess.”

Who Put Peanut Butter on My Daily Planner?

 

Mary's book will help you to better know yourself so you can say a resounding "Yes" to the strengths and desires God has placed inside of you.  A practical guide on personal boundaries and purposeful living for every busy woman.

Dr. Todd Cartmell, author
Keep the Siblings, Lose the Rivalry

 

This book offers hope and help for a disease that is epidemic in our “hurry up, can't say no” culture. In my seminars, I teach and coach busy leaders who need to learn that "less really is more" if they want to lead and still have a life at the end of the day. This book will show women that saying "no thank you" can set them free to say "yes, I'd love to" when it counts!
