Business Communication
Communication: The Essential Connection By Paul J. Meyer Business success depends on the ability to communicate more than ever before with the continuous acceleration of technology and international competition. Effective business communication can make the difference between mediocrity and market leadership. And skillful communication can even make the difference between being employed and not being employed! More than for any other reason, people lose their jobs because of inability to get along with other people. Communication is intricately woven throughout effective and satisfying interpersonal relationships; and relationships are the basis of success in the business world as well as in the home and with friends. Achieving long-term business goals always requires covering the basics: careful planning, accurate research and preparation, getting the right people together, and obtaining necessary financial and technological resources. Effective communication provides the positive relationships and mutual understanding that are essential for successfully covering these basics; without communication, any project and its potential for future returns evaporate. Businesspeople daily communicate their goals, concerns, performance feedback, and appreciation to those they work with and for. Skillful communication creates the human synergy that turns ideas into profitable ventures. Communication is the essential human connection — understanding others and being understood. As the essential human connection, skillful communication enables you to meet professional and personal goals. It is the conduit for mutual understanding and change. Without communication, you accomplish only what you can do alone, which inevitably is only a fraction of what you can do in joint effort with others. Communication – the human connection – is the key to career and personal success. Rewards of Successful Communication Good communicators go above and beyond ordinary means and methods of sending messages; they express a unique human touch in their communication. Human behavior experts have long said the most universal…

You Can Achieve Anything You Imagine. Your imagination is your mental workshop where all your plans are fashioned. Visualize your goals and you’ll get your subconscious to work toward making your mental pictures come true. Picture yourself in your minds eye as having already achieved your goal. See yourself doing the things you’ll be doing when you’ve reached your destination. Olympic medalists use the art of mental rehearsal or visualization. They mentally run through important events before they happen. Decide what you want out of your life. Sense it before you have it. See it, feel it, taste it, smell it and imagine the emotions associated with the attainment of your goal. Pre-live it in your mind before you have it. Your vision will become a powerful driving force in your life. See the things you want as already yours, and one day, they will be yours. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.

Success Is Waiting For You. There are no age limits on when you can transform your life. Change is possible at any time. It is essential if you want to grow. You have control over your life. Success or failure is up to you. You control how lucky you are. You create your wealth with your effort. The doubts you’ll experience along the way are part of life. Make a plan to attain your success and stick to it. Your life is a marathon, not a short sprint. Accept total responsibility for your actions and remove “QUIT” from your vocabulary. Decide you want success and it can be yours. Success is always your choice. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.

Love What You Do, Or Do Something Else. You’ll never achieve real success unless you like what you’re doing. No one has ever succeeded in a line of endeavor which they did not like. Your chances of success are directly proportional to the degree of pleasure you derive from what you do. If you’re in a job you hate, face the fact squarely and get out. It’s better to be a failure in something you love, than attempting to be a success in something you don’t. Don’t set compensation as a goal. Find the work you love, and the compensation will follow. The more you love what you are doing, the more successful it will be for you. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.

Find The Good Side To Every Situation. You cannot have the success you seek without some failures too. Any experience can be transformed into something of value. Everything depends on the way you look at things. What appear to be stumbling blocks and defeat before you can be stepping stones to victory if you remain determined. In all of your adversities lies the seeds of equivalent advantages. In every defeat there is a lesson showing you how to win the next time. View your problems as opportunities. When it’s dark enough you can see the stars. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.

A Goal Will Lead You to Success. If you do the right things right, you’re going to succeed. If you have correct goals, and you keep pursuing them the best way you know how, everything else will fall into line. You are what and where you are today because you first imagined it. Knowing where you want to go is all you need to get there. Just return over and over to that picture in your mind of the place you are headed for. The first essential of success is to know what you want. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.

You Are The Master of Your Fate. While your character is formed by your circumstances, your own desires can do much to shape those circumstances. What is really ennobling in the doctrine of free will is the conviction that you have the power over the formation of your own character. Nature is at work around you. Character and destiny are her handiwork. She gives you love and hate, jealousy and reverence. You have the power to choose which impulses you will follow. You can at any time decide to alter the course of your life. No one can ever take that away from you. You are the master or your joys and your sorrows. The greatest power you possess is the power to choose. You are the master of your fate. You are the captain of your soul. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.

Endurance Is The Crowning Quality Of Success. The power to hold on in spite of everything, to endure, this is the quality of a winner. Your greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising every time you fail. It’s your constant and determined effort that will eventually break down all resistance and sweep away all the barriers before you. Persistence means taking pains to overcome every obstacle, to do all that’s necessary to reach your goal. All great achievements require time. It’s never over until you say it’s over. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.

Stay in the Game if You Want to Win. The law of averages is on your side. The more you do, the greater your chance of succeeding. Taking a risk is often your first necessary step toward success. If you don’t take some risks, you won’t get the chance to succeed. While you are trying, you are winning. Never get discouraged. Every attempt is another step forward. People that make no mistakes usually don’t make anything. Make up your mind not merely to overcome a thousand obstacles, but to win in spite of a thousand defeats. Your mistakes are stepping stones to success and your installment payments to victory. You can’t be a winner and be afraid to lose. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.
