If you want to become more successful as an entrepreneur or in
your career, you can start by making a habit of talking and
thinking more like the people you know or read about who are
already successful.
Here are some phrases you’ll never hear a successful person
say:
1. "We can't do that."
One thing that makes people and companies successful is the
ability to make solving their customers’ problems and demands
their main priority. If a need arises repeatedly, the most
successful people learn how to solve it as quickly as they can.
2. "I don't know how."
Instead of automatically shutting down solution-finding,
successful people learn what they can in order to succeed in a
project or in their career. For example, you would never see a
truly successful international business consultant who travels to
Italy multiple times per year refusing to learn Italian.
3. "I don’t know what that is."
Pleading ignorance doesn’t make the problem go away. It just
makes the asker find someone who is able to work with them to
solve the problem. While’s it’s always good to be honest with
those you interact with, finishing this phrase with “but I’ll find
out” is a surefire way to become more successful.
4. "I did everything on my own."
The best people know to surround themselves with others who
are smart, savvy and as dedicated as they are. What makes this
work is always giving credit where it’s due, as due credit to you
will always come back in hand. Recognize those that have
helped you or made an impact and you’ll continue to earn
success and recognition yourself.
5. "That's too early."
You would never hear Benjamin Franklin
or someone such as Steve Jobs say, “that
is too early for me to be there.” If there is
a networking meeting, project launch or
interview opportunity at the very
beginning of the day, the most successful
people do what it takes to be there. Part of
being successful is being at the right
place at the right time, no matter if you’re
a morning bird or night owl.
6. "That’s too late."
Along the same lines, if you’re asked to a 9 p.m. dinner by a
potential business partner, and you can make it, definitely go.
You may be tired the next day, but the connections you will
make during a small dinner or after-hours meeting can make all
the difference when it comes to your career or next project.

7. "It's too bad we couldn't work together."
Truly hitting it off with someone can be a rare occurrence, but if
you truly connect with someone and want to work with them,
find a way to make it work. Finding people that you really enjoy
communicating with don’t come along too often, so whether it’s
a case study or a new business, successful people know that
working with those who truly align with your personality and
interests are the path to true success.
8. "Let's catch up sometime."
Many times, this phrase is said as filler, without any true follow
up. Successful people know that if they really want to catch up
with someone, they follow up to make it happen. This also
builds on the idea that the most successful people have worked
hard to build genuine connections and relationships within their
network, without any hidden agenda. Nurturing your network
means being thoughtful of others, while keeping your
relationships with them on top of your mind.
9. "I'm sorry, I'm too busy."
If an opportunity comes their way, successful people do what it
takes to make it happen. Sure, this might mean longer hours
occasionally, but if you want something to work, that is what it
takes. After all, according to Lao-Tzu: "Time is a created thing.
To say ‘I don’t have time,’ is like saying, ‘I don’t want to.’”
10. "That was all my idea."
Again, as mentioned in number four, the most successful people
spread the wealth when it comes to doling out praise from a
successful project. No idea is truly one’s own -- it’s a sum of
their experiences from interacting and building off of
collaborative ideas with a team. Doling out praise and
encouragement is a crucial part of building a successful
company and culture.
