As my Dad used to say, there’s an easy way and a hard way to do most things.<\/p>\n
Here are some examples I come across every day in business:<\/p>\n
EASY WAY: Engage in conversations with people
\nHARD WAY: Start selling to everyone as soon as you meet them<\/p>\n
EASY WAY: Ask people about themselves
\nHARD WAY: Tell people about you<\/p>\n
EASY WAY: Speak quietly, clearly and with a big message
\nHARD WAY: Strut around like a boss and shout a lot<\/p>\n
EASY WAY: Adapt your services to your clients’ needs
\nHARD WAY: Push\u00a0people round to your way of thinking<\/p>\n
EASY WAY: Hold the saw lightly and let the blade do the work
\nHARD WAY: Force the saw through the wood with all your strength*<\/p>\n
*My Dad most often brought up the Easy\/Hard adage when I was attempting “woodworking” – AKA breaking saw blades.\u00a0Not sure if there’s a business analogy there, but it sure rings true with sawing.<\/p>\n
