Why your words may be working against you in your video script One of the main causes of discomfort for many entrepreneurs when they attempt a promotional video is the words they are trying to say.

Last year we blamed the economy. What will we blame in 2010? Have you ever considered how blame could be impacting your success?

Long ago a sales manager said to me, “Sometimes you have to fall on your sword.” He was referring to saying the words, “I’m sorry; My error; My apology.” For many, and I’m one who had to learn, these words are difficult.

Don’t you wish you could do your job and not have to travel all over the country or world? Don’t you wish you could let people know about your products and services without going to endless networking meetings? Believe it or not with the right use of the social media you can do just that.

What keeps you from taking consistent action? You know, those things that you know will greatly impact the results you are getting in your business.

These might be throw away comments around the water cooler but sadly they are a reflection of reality.

Many important business deals are conducted during functions outside of the 8-5 world. Doing business within a global economy requires that we pay attention to other customs and protocol, including our professional calling cards. Particularly in international circles, business cards explain our place in the corporate hierarchy, so our title should be clearly stated.

Recently, I was thinking about the time I spent sailing. Many images came to mind – the times I was challenged almost to breaking against 20-foot waves, and times the gentle rocking combined with a glowing sunset were more joy than my heart could hold. But are we all adrift at sea? How do we find our true path in life while buffeted by circumstance, tossed by emotions like anger, joy, frustration, ecstasy? As I opened my imagination, I realized that there is much to be learned through the process of sailing. It requires a bit of adventure.
