“Sorry there’s nothing I can do” .. If we said that we would have no clients

We talk about flexibility, innovative solutions, making things happen, having a pro jobs agenda – some of us need to change our language.

Hi Greg,

We had the opposite response on Thursday and Friday last week. It was so refreshing!

We were faced with what seemed like an insurmountable problem but we solved it with the help of positive and helpful people from the Revenue and Companies Registration Office.

Isn’t it sad to be surprised when you come across helpful people?

  Hi Orla,
  
  I met the exact opposite, which inspired the blog. I must say I am relieved to hear if your experience – it is scary as it seems to be down to who you deal with and the range of responses you can get.
  
  Thanks for the post ,
  
  Greg

I believe everything is possible & if there is good will, there is a solution to everything. “Sorry there is nothing I can do” needs to be replaced with, “There is No Thing I cannot do” Because the latter is true. I believe people hide behind “Sorry there is nothing I can do”, it’s the lazy wo/man’s way out! 😉

  Lorcan …. wouldn’t that be scary. Saying what you think, disagreeing when you disagree. I don’t think I’d last 10 minutes!
