What’s the #1 Skill You Need To Be Successful?

There are only 2 reasons, other than money, why clients don’t say YES.

#1 They don’t understand the information presented.

#2 They don’t see how it benefits them.

And the only way you’re going to know is by asking questions. Becoming a powerful communicator is the number one skill you need to be successful.  The best part is that this is an easy and painless way to catapult your business to the top.

You can learn how to communicate effectively with anyone, really.

To be incredibly successful, you need to realize the person who makes the most money is the best communicator. Learn the principles of communication and practice them.  Perfect the principles before you worry about learning specialized techniques for your particular business.

The communication skills you need to be successful in earning money are the same skills you need to be successful in any area of your life. I can tell you for a fact that the people you’re going to be talking to don’t care if you know every little thing about your topic, they care that you care about them.

If you show that you care about who they are, and what they need, and what they want, they will be incredibly forgiving of your level of knowledge of the product, or technique or whatever you’re discussing.  Right from the beginning, even if you don’t have everything all figured out, you can be very successful just by caring about the people that you’re talking to.

One of the things that I learned from Zig Ziglar back in the 70’s was that people don’t care what you know until they know how much you care.  The communication skills that you need to be successful in your business you need to be successful in your life.

I understand you don’t want to be a salesperson, but nothing happens in your life without someone saying yes to what you want to have happen.  That’s how you get a job, get a date, the place you live, everything.

If you want to be in control of what happens in your life rather than being influenced by the agenda of other people, you need to be a powerful communicator.

How do you create lasting relationships? You become a powerful communicator!

How do you get your message out? You become a powerful communicator!

How do you become a leader in your field? You become a powerful communicator!

How do you build a roster of clients? You become a powerful communicator!

How do you build a successful business? You become a powerful communicator!

How do you create the life of your dreams? You become a powerful communicator!

There is nothing you can become successful at without becoming a powerful communicator.  Even a mime can’t be successful without being a powerful communicator; they just don’t do it with words. They do it with feelings and
actions.

Wouldn’t your life be easier if you were clearly understood by everyone you encountered, all day long?

Think about how often you are frustrated by not being able to get your point across, or trying to persuade someone to do what you need to have done when it just doesn’t seem to be as important to them as it is to you.  It doesn’t matter if the conversation is with a client, your boss, your employees, your children, your spouse, or a clerk in a store.
