Only real skill needed for true and long term success, apart from basic technical skills, is the ‘ability to communicate’ properly.
Not only in business and financial world but also relationships and general life.
Intelligence Is Overrated: What You Really Need To Succeed
The end product of life is communication. We all have human beings at the terminals, every where. You always end up negotiating, discussing and meeting homo sapiens.
- You love your job but unable to communicate to your company about it. You are fired.
- You love your partner but never let them know. They find some body else.
- You want a business deal or investment but never called your prospective investor, you will live in that garage forever.
Communication has both verbal and non verbal aspects.
No businesses, relationships, partnerships or whatever tangible you know, have died for any other reason, than due to lack of proper communication. Communication is oxygen of all relationships, whatsoever name you call it.
