If God wanted us to talk more and listen less, he would have created us with 2 mouths and one ear instead of the opposite The most important mindset to develop is to be a good listener. It allows you to learn more. When you listen first, you will be able to talk and make more sense, get straight to the point and get the job done efficiently. Talking alone also doesn't get any work done anyway. When you listen to your customer, they feel as though you empathize with their needs and hence they will respect you more (see service first). When you listen to your subordinates or employees, they might offer ideas that will help run your business smoother. Your employees will also feel that they have a place in the company and become more productive because the boss values their opinion. If you are in network marketing, you must listen to what your upline has to say because they will be able to teach you the secrets to succeeding in your line of work. Listen carefully to your downlines as well. Your success depends on their success so pay attention. A person who never listens to others and talks all the time is no different from a clanging cymbal making senseless noise and annoying people around them. Business Lesson: It always pays to listen first. If you act first without listening, you wind up doing twice the work when it comes out unsatisfactory
