Speak So People Finally Understand You | Jim Rohn Communication Mastery

Jim Rohn· Soundbite0:00

Here's one of the greatest gifts all of us have, our language, our ability to speak, our ability to frame words into such a way that we create images and pictures, help someone to understand, help someone to become educated, help someone to see what they couldn't see before. It's almost godlike in power. I've got four steps to achieve good communication. Let's just do the fundamentals here. There's not very many. In fact, there's not very many fundamentals to anything, just a few, handful, six, seven, eight. Here's the first step to achieve good communications. Number one, have something good to say. That's step number one. It's fairly obvious. To have something good to say, try to recall and remember and take notes, keep journal, whatever, of your experiences because as you live your life, you're going to have something good to say, one, from your failures, two, from your successes. You're going to have something better to say from the mistakes you've made and how you corrected it and bailed yourself out. And sometimes instead of just registering it in your head, why not commit it to paper so that it gets logged, it gets recorded, and someday you can use it for the future? Have something good to say. The key to speaking well, the key to excellent communications is preparation. Actually, all of our life is preparing. This year preparing for the next.
