One word is sometimes all it takes to change a situation. Long-winded explanations and how-tos frequently just complicate things instead of painting a clear, concise picture.
Let me show you what I mean.
A prospective client is apprehensive to take the next step with you. What do you do? In a word – Trust. You must build trust with that person.
You’re stressed out today. How do you fix it? One word – Stop. Even if it’s for just 10 minutes, stop.
You’re overwhelmed by all the work you have to do. What next? One word – Release. Take a deep, cleansing breath and let all the anxiety go.
Action – Next time you are faced with a question or problem, look for one word to start your plan of action.
People often ponder and puzzle ad infinitum seeking answers. Often the first word that pops into your head is all you need.
