What do you think is the\u00a0connection?<\/p>\n<h2>Let me give you some examples of people that don\u2019t have effective communication skills\u2026<\/h2>\n<p>This is going to be fun because not only do I get some shit off my chest here but you will be able to relate to my experiences -I just know it  <\/p>\n<p>One person in my life that I know who has the worst communication skills is my wife\u2019s sister. I\u2019ve tried to be friendly and social with her but it\u2019s not happening.<\/p>\n<p>She is the type of person who believes she knows everything and doesn\u2019t listen to what anyone else has to say. Her mouth never stops flappin\u2019 and what she does have to say either is negative or simply stupid. I\u2019m actually baffled how anyone can think the way she does and actually hold a job or a relationship down.<\/p>\n<p>To be truthful and it\u2019s sad, she has no friends and has a problem with most of her neighbors on the street.<\/p>\n<p>Another person who I think is the clone to my sister inlaw is a guy from work. He is exactly the same. I actually don\u2019t personally know anyone else like this but there has to be more.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Funny I make it sound like they are aliens from another planet \u2013 who knows, maybe they are.<\/em><\/strong> <em>(haha)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Here is the one trait I know that they have in common\u2026<\/p>\n<p>They both watch the news too much, and they live in self pity. They don\u2019t watch, read or take part in anything positive in life.<\/p>\n<p>Also they both don\u2019t yet understand that <strong>we are all born with 2 ears and 1 mouth for a reason.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span>Listen to David Yoho tell this funny story about a car salesman that wouldn\u2019t take the time to listen.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Here is a positive example of a person who has effective communication skills\u2026<\/h3>\n<p>Once my wife and I were thinking about trading in our truck for a mini van because we thought it would make more sense with having two young toddlers.<\/p>\n<p>We went to a dealership and no dealer approached us in the showroom. I then went to the receptionist and asked if I could speak with a salesman. She said they were all busy but somebody will be with me as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fair enough right?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But I looked around and saw two salesman who appeared to be not busy. So I asked the receptionist if I could speak with one of the gentlemen because they didn\u2019t look like they were busy.<\/p>\n<p>So she goes over to see one of them and he waves us over instead of getting out of his chair to come greet us.<\/p>\n<p>Then sits there holding his head up and asks us what vehicle we were interested in. He didn\u2019t introduce himself, or ask us how we were, or ask us what we are looking for in a vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>So I said to him: never mind, it looks like you don\u2019t need a sale and we can go across the road and see if a sales person over there would like our business. We then got up and left.<\/p>\n<p><em>He didn\u2019t say a thing.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>We couldn\u2019t believe it, the way we were treated.<\/p>\n<p>We actually did go across the road to another dealership and we were treated like gold by a friendly saleswoman.<\/p>\n<p>Actually I\u2019ve never been treated that good by a salesperson since. Weird huh?<\/p>\n<p>But obviously the first salesperson was not a positive person at all and from what I heard from others about him is that he is always like that and has an attitude that his shit don\u2019t stink.<\/p>\n<p>I believe to have effective communication skills and\u00a0you have to have a positive outlook on life and one way to to achieve positivity is to\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>First<\/strong>, you need to block out all negativity such as TV, the news, newspapers and get into positive things and find positive avenues.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Second,<\/strong> find positive things to read or watch. There is lots of great stuff on Youtube. Find a mastermind to take part in. Google it. Find other like minded positive people on Facebook. Get involved with a positive activity outside of the home.<\/p>\n<p>If you do these things you will not only acquire effective communication skills, you will change your life. You will have such a positive outlook, that when communicting with others, you will have positive things to share with them and you will be more open to listen to whay they have to say.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click The Button Below To Be Apart Of Such A Positive Community &amp; Movement Plus Learn How Many Others Are Making Money Online From Home.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Find me on Facebook\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Call me:<\/strong>\u00a01.641.715.3900<br \/>\nExt.735255#<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Effective communication eludes many folks because of their surroundings, what they absorb into their brains daily and who they spend time with.
