Taking The Word "But" Out of it... | Bellingham HR Consultant

If you want to open yourself up to more opportunities, take the word "but" out of your vocabulary.  I have noticed that even the most versed individual often uses (in fact, over uses) the word "but."   This word really does become an excuse and often times results in shutting people out and/or down.  For example, "I see where you are coming from, but..."

Individuals hearing the word "but" typically know they are about to hear something they do not like.  For at least a couple days, take the word "but" out of your vocabulary and see what sort of opportunities open up for you.  You would be surprised.
