It's easier to change from a "No" to a "Yes" than from a "Yes" to a "No". For instance, someone promise to take part in an event then at the last minute backed out. This is deal breaking. Compared this with saying "No" first then at the last minute indicating you will be able to take part. Saying no first is always better, you can always upgrade.
I also agree that things get done by saying "yes". But, there are only 24 hrs in a day, and if you want to accomplish great things you need to focus, that requires saying no a lot.
To quote Warren Buffet : "The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything."
