Four Words that you need to remove from your vocabulory

Words do shape our peception of the world around us and the actions we take.

Here are just four words that, during our conversations with ourselves and others, we need to eradicate as we find a way forward.

An example to begin with ...

"I don't feel this is going to work, I tried, but can't seem to make it happen the way I'd like. I'm not liking where things are at but the economy is stopping me"

Ok so it's a bit over the top but I think you get my message?

Here are the words

1. Don't

"I don't like where things are at right now"

"I don't like the size/colour/shape of that ...."

What using this word shows us is that the business owner would sooner something else but most likley is unsure as to what that could be.

Alternatives

I would like things to be like this
I would prefer this size/colour/shape

2. Try

"Try there is no try, only do or not do" - Yoda - One of the many versions of this quote.

Yoda nails it completely - people don't try they either do or don't do.

3. Can't

"We tried this but we can't ..."

"I can't get this to do ..."

Business owners taking action are too busy to believe they can't

4. But

"We could have done this but ..."

"I am unsure how but ... "

This is victim thinking of the first order. Yes something may have got in the way of you achieving something however chances are that you may have not looked for the traps

Which of these words are you using to run your business?
