“4 letter” words......in business? In life? Think about it!

The English vocabulary is full of fantastic words. When it comes to business and personal relationships, the words we choose to use can make a drastic difference in building or tearing down people and business.

Do you ever stop and listen to people?

I would like to encourage you to stop routinely and listen in.....yes, eavesdrop on people's conversation.

Listen to how people talk to each other in business meetings. Listen to how people talk to each other when eating lunch.....or maybe they are talking on their cellular phone. Listen and watch how they react to words being said. Listen and watch people from all walks of life. What do you think influences their choice of words? How do those words touch their own lives?

Have you noticed how many people use four letter words? What are those words they are using?

Are you using “4 letter” words in your business and daily life? I sure HOPE you do!

Here are 4 great “4 letter” words that you may already be using, and if you aren't.....why not start now:

Great

Love

Hope

Best

And there are plenty more.

How would your business associate (or family member) feel if you said: “That is a GREAT idea! I think it's your BEST idea yet. I HOPE we get to work more together as I LOVE being on your team!”

Four letters can seem so small, and yet, their effect can be massive! Think about it!
