Declining the Experts: The Art of Saying No

Because sometimes you just can't. And that's okay.

Why Decline the Experts?

Expert advice is overrated. Especially when it's given by experts.

Why not just do things your own way? It's not like the experts have a better idea or anything...

Expert Tips for Declining the Experts

• 1. Be direct and to the point. Don't sugarcoat it, just say no.
• 2. Use a firm but polite tone. No, but thanks.
• 3. Offer a vague excuse. "Sorry, I have a prior commitment... with my couch."
