| Can't Do | Can Do |
| We've never done it before | We have the opportunity to be first |
| It's too complicated | Let's look at it from a different angle |
| We don't have the resources | Necessity is the Mother of Invention |
| It will never work | We'll give it a try |
| There's not enough time | We'll reevaluate some priorities |
| We already tried it | We learned from the experience |
| There's no way it'll work | We can make it work |
| It's a waste of time | Think of the possibilities |
| It's a waste of money | The investment will be worth it |
| We'll cannibalize our own sales | We'll do it before they do |
| We don't have the expertise | Let's network with those who do |
| We can't compete | We'll get a jump on the competition |
| Our vendors won't go for it | Let's show them the opportunities |
| It's good enough | There is always room for improvement! |
| We don't have enough money | Maybe there's something we can cut |
| We're understaffed | We're a lean, mean machine! |
| We don't have enough room | Temporary space may be an option |
| It will never fly | We'll never know until we try |
| We don't have the equipment | Maybe we can sub it out |
| It's not going to be any better | We'll try it one more time |
| It can't be done | It'll be a challenge |
| No one communicates | Let's open the channels |
| Isn't it time to go home? | Days go so quickly around here! |
| I don't have any ideas | I'll come up with some alternatives |
| Let somebody else deal with it | I'm ready to learn something new |
| We're always changing direction | We're in touch with our customers |
| It's too radical a change | Let's take a chance |
| It takes too long for approval | We'll walk it through the system |
| Our customers won't buy it | We'll do better at educating them |
| Our company is the wrong size | We're perfect for this project |
| It doesn't fit us | We should look at it |
| It's contrary to policy | Anything's possible |
| It's not my job | I'll be glad to take the responsibility |
| I can't | I can! |
