Simple Swaps: Afford or Choose?

EWTS Certified Guide Marc Pitman has got a perfect swap for those of you with employees – particularly ones who are coming up with ways to spend the budget of your business.

Instead of saying: ‘I can’t afford that right now’, try: ‘We’re not choosing to spend our money that way right now’. This creates a better revenue-generating mindset, meaning that your employees will seek better opportunities for you from a growth point of view.

Watch Marc’s full video on ‘afford’ vs ‘choose’.
