KNOWING S.U.M.O. paul mcgee 1 of 4


Short for "shup up, move on". It's a mantra you can recite when you are acting or thinking in a way that is blocking your facitlity to do well.

"Shut up" means to suspend what you're doing and to take time out to reflect, review, release ill feelings and unconstructive beliefs that encumber your potential.

"Move on' means tomorrow is another day - hopefully rosier, healthier and richer. It urges you to look for new possibilities to think, to plan, think and translate thoughts into action.

Communications during difficult and challenging situations can take 1 or 2 appropriate response:

1) talk and talk and talk to bring out your message
2) adapt a strategy of silence

BE aware, in today's environment, there is often a temptation to say too much. And in an environment where too much talk and spin have become dangerous and a liability, sometimes it pays to shut up and move on quietly.
