"If you are not willing to risk the usual, you will have to settle for the ordinary."  Jim Rohn Perhaps you believe you are already doing enough to make your business successful. Maybe you can't see how doing anything different will aid you. Here is something I have learned first-hand: We seek to be the best at what we do. we will do whatever we deem necessary missing the most obvious pearls of wisdom in front of us. It's not just about having a superb vocabulary. Nobody cares, really. What matters most to your customer is how you are benefitting them! If your "fancy" words are too difficult for them to understand then congratulations Mr. Professor, for losing your prospects, bottom line: you just lost money!
