21 Dumb Things to Never Say in Business

There is an old adage: "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” How and what people think determines what they will do. We can say that people who think positively and intelligently behave in ways that are smart, leading to success. So what happens when you or others have "dumb" thoughts?

One of the most common admissions of the highly successful is that they surround themselves with great people.

Half of that equation is that they avoid dumb people. Dumb ideas lead to dumb actions, and that results in danger. Tune into your local news and there is no shortage of people doing dumb things that were probably preventable had someone just paid attention.

I’ve been an entrepreneur for more than 30 years. I, like many of you, have dealt with all kinds of people who have said and then done all kinds of crazy things. After a while, you see a pattern.

You are able to come up with the real meanings behind the dumb things people say. Here’s a list I took the time to codify:

    Dumb Saying                                    What It Means       

Quit being so forgiving of people saying dumb things because that only leads to people doing more dumb things.

Keep this list close to you so you can quickly decode what dumb really means. If you admit to saying some of the common things on this list, choose to switch. What you think, say, and do either creates your success, or keeps you from it.
