CAN DO Attitude

CAN’T

CAN

We’ve never done it before

We have the opportunity to be first

It’s too complicated

Let’s look at it from a different angle

We don’t have the resources

Necessity is the Mother of Invention

It will never work

We’ll give it a try

There’s not enough time

We’ll reevaluate some priorities

We already tried it

We learned from the experience

There’s no way it’ll work

We can make it work

It’s a waste of time

Think of the possibilities

It’s a waste of money

THE INVESTMENT WILL BE WORTH IT

WE’LL CANNABALIZE OUR OWN SALES

We’ll do it before they do it

We don’t have the expertise

Let’s network with those who do

We can’t compete

We’ll get a jump on the competition

Our vendors won’t go for it

Let’s show them the opportunity

It’s good enough

There is always room for improvement

We don’t have enough money

Maybe there’s something we can cut

We’re understaffed

We’re a lean, mean machine

We don’t have enough room

Temporary space may be an option

It will never fly

We’ll never know until we try

We don’t have the equipment

Maybe we can sub it out

It’s not going to be any better

We’ll try it one more time

It can’t be done

It’ll be a challenge

No one communicates

Let’s open channels

Isn’t time to go home

Days go so quickly around here

I don’t have any idea

I’ll come up with some alternatives

Let somebody else deal with it

I’m ready to learn something new

We’re always changing direction

We’re in touch with our customers

It’s too radical a change

Let’s take a chance

It takes too long for approval

We’ll walk it through the system

Our customers won’t buy it

We’ll do better at educating them

Our company is the wrong size

We’re perfect for this project

It doesn’t fit us

We should look at it

It’s contrary to policy

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE

It’s not my job

I’ll be glad to take the responsibility

I CAN’T

I CAN!
