“Why Every Word You Speak Has Weight”

Every word has an assigned value to it. Every word carries weight. Just think of the words you speak as having a dollar amount attached to them. You only want to spend what is necessary. Why do people use so many words to make simple statements? Go straight like an arrow. Eliminate the time it takes to make your point. You can be more interesting to listen to if you trim the fat from your conversations. People who like to hear themselves talk will never submit to this practice. Don’t you be that person. Don’t waste your listeners’ time taking too long to make a point just because you have the floor. Some people, when they get that microphone, don’t want to give it up. A powerful one-minute conversation is more impactful than a ten-minute, mindless, chatterbox talk that leaves people with more questions than answers. Practice in your mind: How can I say it faster, with more depth? You can always make it shorter and better. Always. Practice putting together a string of impactful words in your conversations and watch people react to you differently. I like to talk to myself while I’m riding in the car to see if I am clear and specific about what I want to say to a person. Make this a practice in your life, and you will begin to become a clear communicator
