If "no" really means "yes" then what does "yes" mean? Should we now assume that there is no such thing as "no"? A lot of people get into trouble that way.

No, there is a no thats absolute.But, my point is that entrepreneurs and highly successful people understand the difference instinctively. No with a hestiation means potentially yes.

I agree - you either have it or you don't. The problem I am seeing is some people think they have this instinct but they don't. Like thinking they have "good taste and a sense of humor". These people actually can take a potential yes and turn it into an absolute NO! because of their approach and lack intuition. So how do you know if you have good instincts? and how do you tell others they don't?
