!5 phrases you'll never hear successful people use.

If you want to become more successful as an entrepreneur or in your career, you can start by making a habit of talking and thinking more like the people you know or read about who are already successful.

Here are some phrases you’ll never hear a successful person say:

1. "We can't do that."
One thing that makes people and companies successful is the ability to make solving their customers’ problems and demands their main priority. If a need arises repeatedly, the most successful people learn how to solve it as quickly as they can.

2. "I don't know how."
Instead of automatically shutting down solution-finding, successful people learn what they can in order to succeed in a project or in their career. For example, you would never see a truly successful international business consultant who travels to Italy multiple times per year refusing to learn Italian.

3. "I don’t know what that is."
Pleading ignorance doesn’t make the problem go away. It just makes the asker find someone who is able to work with them to solve the problem. While’s it’s always good to be honest with those you interact with, finishing this phrase with “but I’ll find out” is a surefire way to become more successful.

4. "I did everything on my own."
The best people know to surround themselves with others who are smart, savvy and as dedicated as they are. What makes this work is always giving credit where it’s due, as due credit to you will always come back in hand. Recognise those that have helped you or made an impact and you’ll continue to earn success and recognition yourself.

5. "That's too early."
You would never hear Benjamin Franklin or someone such as Steve Jobs say, “that is too early for me to be there.” If there is a networking meeting, project launch or interview opportunity at the very beginning of the day, the most successful people do what it takes to be there. Part of being successful is being at the right place at the right time, no matter if you’re a morning bird or night owl.

6. "That’s too late."
Along the same lines, if you’re asked to a 9 p.m. dinner by a potential business partner, and you can make it, definitely go. You may be tired the next day, but the connections you will make during a small dinner or after-hours meeting can make all the difference when it comes to your career or next project.

7. "It's too bad we couldn't work together."
Truly hitting it off with someone can be a rare occurrence, but if you truly connect with someone and want to work with them, find a way to make it work. Finding people that you really enjoy communicating with don’t come along too often, so whether it’s a case study or a new business, successful people know that working with those who truly align with your personality and interests are the path to true success.

8. "Let's catch up sometime."
Many times, this phrase is said as filler, without any true follow up. Successful people know that if they really want to catch up with someone, they follow up to make it happen. This also builds on the idea that the most successful people have worked hard to build genuine connections and relationships within their network, without any hidden agenda. Nurturing your network means being thoughtful of others, while keeping your relationships with them on top of your mind.

9. "I'm sorry, I'm too busy."
If an opportunity comes their way, successful people do what it takes to make it happen. Sure, this might mean longer hours occasionally, but if you want something to work, that is what it takes. After all, according to Lao-Tzu: "Time is a created thing. To say ‘I don’t have time,’ is like saying, ‘I don’t want to.’”

10. "That was all my idea."
Again, as mentioned in number four, the most successful people spread the wealth when it comes to doling out praise from a successful project. No idea is truly one’s own -- it’s a sum of their experiences from interacting and building off of collaborative ideas with a team. Doling out praise and encouragement is a crucial part of building a successful company and culture.

11. "I never read books."
Tom Corley of Rich Habits found that rich people read (and listen to) books at a much higher rate than poor people: “63 percent of wealthy parents make their children read two or more non-fiction books a month vs. 3 percent of poor.” Also, “63 percent of wealthy listen to audio books during commute to work vs. 5 percent of poor people.” Reading non-fiction (as well as fiction) can help reduce stress, enhance creativity and boost your memory.

12. "I'm not good enough."
Part of being successful is having a high sense of self-worth. Being yourself is one trait that promises success in business and your personal life. Follow your true interests. What you would do in your life if you didn’t need money?

13. "It's OK." (over and over)
Successful people know when to walk away and stop taking excuses from others. If there is a bottleneck and something (or someone) is preventing you from completing a project on time, build up your business, or move you forward in your goals, then it’s time to set boundaries and decide to limit your involvement.

14. "If our competitors don't have it, then we don't need it."
Copying competitors is one of the many possible deaths for most companies. True innovation comes from the flip side: figuring out what competitors aren’t doing and fill that niche to answer a need in the industry.

15. "Time off is for suckers."
True success should be seen as a well-rounded approach, one with vacations, weekends with friends and family and hours of downtime on the weekdays. While workload varies for everyone at times, taking a holiday can make you better at your job.
Sometimes to get to where you want to be, the best and easiest thing to do is to simply follow the examples that others set for you.

What phrases are you going to eliminate from your day-to-day conversations and thinking?

The Millionaire's Brain

It's been awhile now since I've been looking for help in improving my career and life. For the past few months I've been unhappy with my professional life. My main issue is the state of my job. I spend too much time at work that affects time spent with my family and friends.

On top of that, my job duties have increased over time but my salary has not.  I felt mentally down and was struggling to think of ways I could improve the quality of my life. Something had to change.
When I came across The Millionaire's Brain, I was in two minds. While I felt that the book could help me in my present situation, I wasn't sure if I could get much help out of it as I would like.   

But The Millionaire's Brain seemed simple enough to digest and was more than  affordable- at least compared to the hundreds or even thousands you might fork out for some sort of "get rich quick" talks or schemes you see advertised everywhere.

And cut to present day after spending some time with The Millionaire's Brain,  I am relieved to review that it is well worth the purchase!

As a whole, The Millionaire Brain manual explores basic mind concepts that I have always found fascinating. Changing your actions, behaviors and thoughts might sound simple, but they are powerful tools to implement in your life.

I was particularly interested where they focus on training your brain to have a positive mindset towards money and wealth. Personally, money has always been hard to come by. And I realized that it was due to my negative feelings towards money. Fortunately, the book teaches you how to rewire your brain to have a positive mindset about money.

It really helps that the book explains the abilities of a person's brain and how it is programmed. I got to learn about neuroplasticity and how the brain can be changed and shaped throughout a person's life. Such information really instilled the confidence in me to make a list of goals and aim to achieve them.

Besides wealth, The Millionaire's brain also touches on other mental areas that is likely to affect you in life.

For instance, there is a chapter devoted to overcoming negativity and embracing positivity to overcome hardships. I'd like to point out that while such information might not be related to my main goal, I found it very helpful in evaluating myself  and my life choices so far.

Personally, I found myself re-reading the pointers on removing negative influence and adding more positivity to my life. I realized from reading these chapters that I needed to surround myself more with people who share similar goals and hobbies.

Initially, I was always focused on work and had no time for socializing which affected me emotionally. I now get that making positive changes is indeed just as important as working hard.
Another aspect I liked was the exercises present throughout the chapters that enabled me to understand the written content. They do not take up much of your time and at most, all you need is a pen and paper to get it done!

http://spanner56.millionb.hop.clickbank.net

If you like to apply what you've learnt, The Millionaire's Brain also comes with a Brain Optimizer workbook for you to practice on yourself to get the most out of what you've been reading.

To be frank, I generally take a long time to learn things and get them right. I was not looking forward to opening the Brain Optimizer workbook! But I'm glad I eventually did as the exercises were not difficult. While I have not completed all of the exercises as of yet, I did the find the meditative techniques relaxing and emotionally satisfying.

The Money Code is another bonus content that comes with The Millionaire's Brain. If you are more interested in achieving financial success, this report would be most beneficial to you. It serves as a worthy extension from The Millionaire's Brain plus I found it cool how it teaches you to draw out ideas from the creative side of your mind.

You also receive some audio guidance known as The Millionaire Mindset Suite. I was recommended to listen to the audios consistently for at least four weeks. I initially found it tough to commit to such a schedule due to work so I listened to each session individually daily, which has been working well so far.

This is a unique aspect when I got The Millionaire's Brain: Compared to most products today- you don't just get one wordy, measly book, you get the works! As I mentioned above, I had more options in my hand with a workbook, an audio guide and an additional report. I appreciate that Millionaire's Brain Book doesn't hold back, it gives the user a variety of stuff to work with!

I am very appreciative of what The Millionaire's Brain is doing. I feel that authors Winter and Alvin have put together a well thought out and informative book that can help just about the everyday Joe who want to financially prosper.

It certainly has helped in making me believe that you don't really have to work day and night to achieve wealth and prosperity in your life! And now that I'm taking control of my own destiny, the future has never looked better!

English Gone Wong!


It would be very clear to native English speakers that this sign is instructing the viewer that there is a danger that you may drown if you are not careful. I think they must have tried to say "Be careful or you may drown". Now however, it sounds as if they have tried to put that sign for those who come to that river (or whatever) to kill themselves or try to drown their companions. Indeed, if you try to drown yourself and others by making too much fuss, you may mess up your killing attempt as it would unnecessary draw public attention. Hence, they tell you to do it carefully, i.e. doing it quietly when no one is looking.



 One shouldnt use the lift if it catches fire. Although if you're in the lift when it catches fire, you'd be dead in no time. If you are not in the lift when it catches fire, I dont think you would be able to use it anymore. It is kind of obvious. But after all, many people lack common sense (especially the Chinese) and it'd helpful if they have given you basic instructions to save your ass.

Thanks to 'Gaurav' for these examples of Chinese translation.

Based on this fact, I have created this book to help you speak English in a short period of time. Most of the people are familiar with many words, but they don’t know how to talk. Their ability to form sentences is limited due to the inadequate number of phrases.

~ You are calling some restaurant to reserve few tables for your friends. How would you talk to the customer service? This book gives few examples and provides many phrases that you can use to that particular situation.
Let’s look at another example:

~ You are calling the local phone company to get a new phone line to your home. If you don’t know few specific phrases on this subject, you wouldn’t be able to talk to the person on the other line.

~ You are calling your apartment superintendent regarding the clogged sink or bathtub, if you don’t know a few specific phrases; you can’t express the reason of your call. Somehow you need to know few phrases to survive in English speaking country.

A GOOD Way to learn English?

You will learn to speak English more rapidly if you learn through speaking phrases rather than individual words. The grammer of languages is often high-lighted in teaching but it is thought that learning phrases is the best way to start learning and to be more important than concentrating on individual words.

This way of teaching English is used in our program: 'The English Language Survival Kit' which is available to purchase and download for just £20.00



Testimonial

Dear Author,
My name is Seda Samet and I am a student. Your e-book is great and helps me to talk in English. I take this printout version when we travel to different English speaking countries. It was really helpful. I not only learnt how to talk to new people, but also the culture in English speaking countries. My parents can’t speak English, so they always expected me to learn English. So when I went to London with my parents, I took your book with me wherever I went. It was a great help.

Thank again for your great book.

Sincerely,
Seda.
