How to use words effectively for real business success

How to Use Words Effectively for Real Business Success

As you know, the way you use words in your thoughts and what you say out loud can have a huge impact on how successful you are. This is because everyone has associations with the words that they use. So for example, one person will feel fine using the word ?rich? while another would find it offensive. But how can you use your words to create more business success?

First of all, you have to catch yourself saying or thinking the words that might be inadvertently limiting you. Examples of these are: problem, can’t, ought, should, wish, not fair.

You can train yourself to catch the words you use to describe situations by listening to yourself, and one of the best ways to do this is to talk out loud to yourself. OK, do it when you’re alone or you might get some funny looks! But seriously, talking out loud is a great way to find out what kinds of words you use. So next time you’re stumped in your business about what to do next, or you think you can’t see a way out of the situation you’re in, say out loud what you’re thinking, and listen to yourself.

Next step is to change whatever words you find that are limiting. Here’s some examples:

Change ‘struggling’ to ‘taking the next step’.

Replace ‘should’ with ‘could’.

Transform ‘I can’t’ to ‘I won’t’.

I need — do you really need? What about ‘I want’, or ‘I would like’ instead?

‘I ought to’ can become ‘I could’.

People who are ‘pains in the neck’ can become your ‘teachers’.

Instead of saying ‘I have to’, say ‘I get to’.

Change ‘I wish’ to ‘I commit to’. (That’ll sort out whether you really want that thing you’re wishing for or not!).

Refer to problems or setbacks as opportunities or challenges.

Never demand anything — rather say ‘I would appreciate it if’.

Use the words ‘consequences from events’ rather than ‘failure’.

Change ‘this is no good’, to ‘what I find good in this is’.

Amend ‘It’s not fair’ (which is just another version of ‘poor me syndrome’) to focusing on what is great about your situation by saying ‘What I do have is’.

Try reading these words out loud right now and notice the difference in how they make you feel. This is not only because of the associations we have with different words, but also because of the vibration belonging to different words. You can hear it really clearly with the words I should as opposed to I could. The first one is about blaming, feeling bad, being stuck, while the second brings opportunity, hope and a way out.

It’s well known that success is at least 70% in the mind — so bring your thoughts and words in line with the success that you want in your life, and watch things starting to change!

Internet marketing — how to create more value and get more profits

Internet Marketing — How to Create More Value and Get More Profits

Internet Marketers often talk about providing more value to clients to increase your business returns, but seldom do you learn from them how this can be achieved and how it actually helps.

First of all, you have to realise that this has to be developed as a mindset, to truly leverage on its benefits in Internet Marketing. In fact, there is a systematic and logical way to create this mindset in you, such that it becomes second nature and makes it easier for you when coming up with marketing campaigns.

There are 3 simple ways to do this:

1. Create a «Wealthy Mind»

Very often, people in business wonder how to maximise and squeeze out every last bit of profit from clients, without realising that most people, including their clients, think the same way. As a result, this leaves them stumped when their clients ask them — “What’s in it for me?”.

Creating a “Wealthy Mind” is to first understand people and their needs, and then to come up with free solutions that provide them with value. Make them feel that you are in fact looking out for their best interests. You might even want to provide solutions that do not actually relate to your products but really solve their problems. You will be surprised the bond that can result between you and the client, which will lead them to return to you in the future. Credibility will also be formed.

And when they do return, that is when you can leverage on the past value provided to receive your returns.

2. Do Not Be Selfish

By creating a ‘Wealthy Mind’, you will also need to think less of yourself and more for your clients.

I cannot stress this more, you will need to make this your mission. And an effort to give first before receiving will in the long run give you an edge over any other competing businesses.

3. Share Your Best Ideas or Secrets

In fact, give them out free!

Sharing your best products or ideas not only provides value to people, but it also shows them what you have got to offer, which makes them pay more attention to you. This not only creates credibility, it can also create word-of-mouth and that is viral marketing that you would want, wouldn’t you?

Ok, some of you might be wondering “Hey, my best products are the most expensive and provide the most profits”. But they also provide the most value! You might not give them all out, but remember the fact that if you are in this business, new and better ideas will come along, and new products can be leveraged on from those.

Go over these 3 methods like a mantra and practice them. When you eventually embody them, you will develop relationships with clients or potential leads that not only include credibility and value, they might even view you as their trusted advisor and friend. And that is the true value for both parties that will improve your business, profits and wealth in the long run.

How to prevent indoor water damage

How to Prevent Indoor Water Damage

At first, small signs of water damage may seem trivial. Eventually, however, these trivial signs can ultimately lead to larger and more severe problems. Water stains on ceilings can lead to weakened roofing, leaks under the kitchen sink can lead to rotten floorboards and burst pipes can possibly even damage furniture and other personal possessions. By learning where in your home you may be most susceptible to water damage, the better your chances of preventing water damage inside your home.

Kitchen

— Sinks – Any caulking that appears deteriorated in any way should be replaced. Pipes beneath the sink should be checked for leaks.
— Dishwasher – On the occasion the hose that connects the water supply to the dishwasher should be checked. Search for evidence around the base of the dishwasher for leaks like, discolored, warped or soft flooring materials or water damage to nearby cabinets.
— Refrigerator – Most refrigerators have ice makers. Make sure the hose connection is securely attached to the water supply line.

Bathrooms

— Showers and Bathtubs – Deteriorated/cracked caulking or grout should be removed and replaced.
— Sinks – Same process as kitchen sinks
— Toilets – Avoid toilet clogging and harsh chlorine tablet cleansers that may corrode internal parts.

Basement, Laundry or Utility Room
— Water Heaters – Most last about 8 to 15 years. Wet spots on floor or rusted areas on the tank may signal a leak. Should be installed on the lowest level of the home.
— Washing Machine – Hoses should be checked regularly for bulging, cracking, fraying and leaks. Hose should be replaced every three to five years.

Entire Home

— Shut off water supply and check to see if the water meter continues to spin.
