I must
have said, "NO" a dozen times! Why would I do
that, when the Law of Attraction teaches us to
focus on what we want and eliminate the words
"no," "not" and "don't?"
Are there
times when saying "NO" is really saying "YES" to
what you want?
Several months
ago I decided to purchase a 32" television.
Actually, I decided I would buy two 32" TV's:
one for myself and one for my investment condo.
I searched
through the Internet for the best quality and
most highly recommended brands. I learned the
difference between "plasma," "high definition"
and "LCD."
Most
importantly, I decided to spend less than $500
for each TV. Now, how I came up with that dollar
amount remains a mystery to me. In all my
research on the Internet, the lowest price for a
32" LCD TV was $799.
Armed with a
little more information about the different
types of TV's on the market and with a target
price in mind, I started visiting the local
electronics and home furnishing stores. My
research took more that four months, and there
were several times when I almost purchased a 32"
LCD TV for more than $500-but I said, "NO. I'm
waiting for the price to drop."
A few days
ago, I felt the urge to do a little more
research. First, I phoned my son-in-law who
lives in Alberta, Canada. He's the "gadget guy"
in our family and I knew he would recommend the
best brand and could probably tell me how to get
the best price. Best brand, yes. But the best
price he found was the same $799 I had already
said "NO" to.
Then, I
invited my dad to come with me to a popular
electronics store. At the back of the TV
section, I found a group of TV's, with prices
knocked down to half their original price. A
salesman quickly found me and said he could sell
me an off-brand 32" LCD TV for $400.
"I want two,"
I told him.
"Two?" he
questioned.
"Yes, I want
two 32" LCD TV's."
Believe me;
they were selling so fast you had to literally
place your hand on the one you wanted! He looked
over his list of models and sale prices, then
pointed to a 26" brand-name and said, "That's
the only one not sold and I can give it to you
for $799." It was the exact brand and model my
son-in-law had told me to buy. But…the
wrong size.
I told him,
"NO, I want another 32" TV."
His manager
was passing by and overheard me. He said,
"There's a 32" LCD on aisle two she can have, if
the fellow looking at it doesn't buy it. It's a
S_ _ _ _." I headed right for aisle
two-confident in my heart it was going to be the
precise make, model and size my son-in-law had
told me to buy.
The manager
whispered something to the salesman-who then
said to me, "Today is the last day of our fiscal
year and my manager wants every floor model
sold. I can sell you this TV for $499.96." Yes!
It was the exact 32" TV I had
described.
"I'll take
it!"
I wish you
could have seen the look on my dad's face. It
was priceless. He was glowing with pride and
amazement. In a matter of seconds, I had
purchased two 32" TV's for less than $500 each!
When we got home, we noticed the original
purchase price of the brand-name TV was
$1,519.96. I had purchased it for less than 1/3
the original price.
The secret to
experiencing this memorable moment was all the
previous times I had said, "NO!" because the
price wasn't right or the size wasn't right or
the brand and model was not right. There are
times when "NO" can be the most positive word
spoken!
