Communication

The ability to receive what you desire is based on what you ask. To be effective in what you ask, you need to use the proper language. To connect, prospect, and generally open dialog with people, whether they be your spouse, family members, or prospects, you need to understand some basic fundamental concepts that will assist you to be effective in your communication. The number one concept is the language you use.

It is no accident that people end up walking through life settling for average results in many aspects of their lives. To understand the language that we use is paramount. So why do we say and use the words we do? Is there a connection between the words that we use and the results that acquire? Yes! Your words are your energetic expression of your thoughts, your feelings, and your beliefs. If you look around you will discover your reality you find yourself in is a physical manifestation of the energy you have received in return for those words you have spoken.

So there are some key words that you use that you could release right now today or at least become conscious of that you use in your everyday vocabulary, that you are using that DO NOT serve you to create the results that you seek and desire. They are what differentiate the difference between subsisting a life and designing a life that you desire.

So the words you use need to be in alignment with the results you desire to achieve the life you seek in the areas of finance, family, and your future. There are many words that we use that we’ve been conditioned to use because they are so predominate in our society. In fact, we are not even aware that we use them when we speak.

Key words to eliminate:
1. “Need” means that no matter how much of something you receive it will never be enough. And that belief will continually perpetuate the situations you find yourself in so as to always be true. Replace the word with deserve. No more saying you “need” more money, use “deserve”. The more you think you deserve, the more time you will be in a position to take advantage of opportunity, and thus you will receive more money.

2. “Try” is a word that has no commitment. It’s a word that means I’ll think about it. But in the end it means I’ll still be sitting on the couch. I’m not going to do anything that moves me forward. It’s akin to “wish”, “if only”, “I should”. The operative word to use is “will”. It emotes action. When asking something of someone if they use the word “try”, chances are they won’t do what is asked. When asking questions you are looking for decisive answers. Um, well, maybe won’t cut it. Anything less doesn’t not qualify for your emotional energy.

Start using language that is congruent to your message. People understand when their are being directly asked. They don’t have an out. They don’t perceive you as a walking contradiction. Understanding the language you use and being confident in your language will give you posture. It will also give you a clue as to where the person you are communicating with is at. Take time to understand the words you use, the words others say to you, and how you can use them to your advantage and you will be much further to the things you desire.

Social Media Boom

What everyone still needs to realize is that as neat and nifty these online applications are, at the heart of it all, especially for marketers, is they are used to convey messages. You can never forget that these new social technologies are simply different and new ways to communicate. You also need to know that technology by itself is not can not compel anyone to do anything. You need to make sure that you don’t get the social technologies mixed with the message.

It’s Still A Message
So now we know that every status update, Tweet, and Facebook message is nothing more than a communication between a sender and on the other end, a reader. What your message says and how you say it are what matters. Don’t get caught up in the hype of Web 2.0 when it comes to conveying your message. At the core of it all you still need to deliver relevant messages, whether it be Facebook, Twitter, or an email campaign. Make sure you communications deliver a persuasive call to action because when it is all done and said, it’s still only a message. How you choose to craft and convey the words in it will make all the difference.
