Comments by "j0elsuf" (@SirJoelsuf1) on "The Two Phrases I've Banned in My Business" video.

  1. People like to abuse the word "scam" too. In probably 95% of all cases, anyone who describes anything as a "scam" is just a quitter who is often happy being miserable without knowing that they enjoy being miserable. So I've disallowed that word in my lexicon (unless I'm clearly joking). Another word/phrase I've banned is "oppressed" or "held down." This word reveals that a person is seeking external solutions for their life instead of internal ones. Again, I don't use it myself unless I'm joking about something. I'm slowly reaching a point in my life where quitters and people who seek external solutions for their lives are pretty much dead to me. I don't have anymore time to waste. Never had time to waste in the first place.

  2. I've added two more: 3) "I rely on (person/organization) for (happiness/income/esteem). No self respecting global citizen (or aspiring global citizen such as myself) should ever rely on ONE particular person for happiness, income, esteem, or anything. What if that person or organization stops existing tomorrow? And 4) "We need to do what's right for (insert entity here)." Again, this is an expression of external solutions which often have nothing to do with being a better person, making more money, being a global citizen etc. If you had a high ticket customer who paid you lots of money but didn't vote for who you wanted them to vote for, would you not do business with them based on that?

  3. My dad used to shout at me "I DON'T KNOW IS NOT AN ANSWER!!" whenever I was young. Now that I'm self employed, I now know why he did lol.
