Great day, Reader. It’s Michael The Traveling Trucker.
BIG QUESTION? What does success sound like? You see dear reader, it has a different sound for each of US.

My sound is leading someone to Christ and having them give their life to Him. I can hear heaven singing over one lost soul.
Do you hear the sound of encouragement, the laughter of being a close friend to someone nobody else wants or even knows exists?
Is your sound the timer going off to a finished meal? The sizzling sounds in the pan, the oven humming, the kettle whistling for you to get your favorite cup for tea?
Is your sound landscaping? Engine roaring, weedeater spinning, shears clicking to a rhythm of the last song you heard? My wife, she is talking to me as I write says it’s birds singing, squirrels squeaking as they chase each other around the tree. Bees flying and hummingbirds feeding.
There are beautiful sounds all around if one but listens. I love the sound of my wife saying she deeply loves me. My girls saying, love your daddy( oldest daughter) youngest saying with an English accent( I love you father). so what are your SOUNDS?
Business has a distinct sound. Sharing one’s own knowledge and experience with somebody who lacks them will empower the latter. There are many people desperately looking for advice, suggestions, and opinions when they face difficult business situations
What is the sound of Casual English vs. Business Language? What you write on Facebook, Twitter, and friendly emails are different from business language.
How to SOUND PROFESSIONAL: Provide or (Give)
Casual: Could you give me your cell number?
Professional: Could you provide me with your cell number?
2) Receive or (Get)
Casual: Did you get the message I sent you yesterday?
Professional: Did you receive the message yesterday?
3) Attend or (Come)
Casual: I’m sorry but I can’t come to your brother’s wedding.
Professional: I’m sorry but I can’t attend your brother’s wedding.
4) Assist or (Help)
Casual: I need you to help John with his homework.
Professional: I need you to assist the customer with his laptop.
Each of these can and will make a big sound in your business. For some of us, the sounds may not seem very important but they are. Please take time to do your own research. Do what fits your sound style.

Business talk and casual talk are definitely different … love the examples here!
Thank you, Janet. It’s so funny how we talk and don’t remember to think differently about speaking in our business.
Very nice
