Part 7 - The true meaning of “BUT”
Stuart Ginbey | September 23, 2008
The word “But” can be so powerful, BUT unfortunately it is used in a negative way. It literally cancels out what ever you have just said before it. “I’d really like to get fit, but I’m too busy”. Instead try to use “AND”. This will turn it into a positive context and encourage the other person to follow what you are saying. It all comes down to communication. Positive communication skills leads to positve results. The way that you communicate with other people is fundamental in expressing who you are as a character. By being enthusiastic and having good quality communication, this will definately lead to better results. Think about it. If your moping around saying “Yeah I really want to do that, but the whole world is against me” then who is going to want to listen to you. People are attracted to positive energy. If instead you said something like” Yeah I really want to do that and this is how I’m going to do it”, then this will encourage other people to do the same. All of a sudden, it seems achieveable. You’ve given a goal and a solution to what is now no longer even a problem. This simple strategy can be very effective in lifting your business sales and company integrity. Always look for a solution, because an obstacle is simply something to go around.
Till next time…
