Whether you hate them, love them or love to hate them; one fact is true\u2013 clich\u00e9s wouldn\u2019t have become clich\u00e9 if they didn\u2019t resonate. Sure, you still need to \u201cthink outside of the box,” but not all clich\u00e9s are eye-roll-worthy. Take a look at our top favorite ones that we think should be reintroduced to the workplace\u2026 and those that should never be used again.<\/p>\n

The GOOD:<\/h4>\n

“There\u2019s no\u00a0\u2018I’ in team.\u201d<\/h5>\n

Entrepreneurs tend to prefer to do things on their own (they wouldn\u2019t have opened their own business if they didn\u2019t), but it\u2019s important to remember this straight-forward saying. Running a business takes a lot of moving parts, and if business owners want to be successful and maintain their sanity, hiring a team made up of passionate employees is imperative.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe customer is always right.\u201d<\/h5>\n

Of course, the customer is not always \u201cright,\u201d but in reality, that\u2019s not the important takeaway with this popular phrase. Instead, use this general concept to face any business issues that arise. Every problem that a customer presents is a chance for your company to address it, make the customer happier and let them feel \u201crighted.\u201d<\/p>\n

THE BAD:<\/h4>\n

\u201cIf you want the job done right, you have to do it yourself.\u201d<\/h5>\n

This clich\u00e9 is the pessimistic cousin to the \u201cThere\u2019s no \u2018I\u2019 in team,\u201d phrase, and it\u2019s the root of what causes many entrepreneurs to break or make poor business decisions. Instead of taking on every business task yourself, learn to delegate early on to promote better mental health.<\/p>\n

\u201cIgnorance is bliss.\u201d<\/h5>\n

Sure, there are things you should ignore in your business (we\u2019re looking at you, gossipers), but in order to scale, you have to know what is and isn\u2019t working for your company. Don\u2019t be blissfully unaware of advice that could benefit your business, how your clients feel or how your company is performing. In short, we combat this clich\u00e9 with one that we think is more accurate\u2013 \u201cKnowledge is power.\u201d<\/p>\n

THE REALITY:<\/h4>\n

No matter what niceties you choose to listen to, ignore or create for yourself, every business needs assistance.
