Morning Motivator - Love and Business

"Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction."
-Antoine de Saint-Exupery

For those who have been around me long enough to hear my INSIGHT as to "what business really is," you know I ALWAYS make dating and relationship references. To me, business is as DRIVEN by attraction, affection and loyalty as a good personal relationship.

When you have an EXCELLENT business relationship - how does it FEEL? What EXPECTATIONS do you have of that person or business? Often, the same emotions that are EVOKED are one's that drive your HEART, not your checkbook.

Commonly, when business relationships separate the cause is more EMOTIONAL than rational. You hear statements such as, "they never called me," or "it just seems like she doesn't have enough time to devote to my needs.". If you were asked if these responses were personal or professional... What would you THINK?

2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
In order to better your business skills, you must FOCUS on your relationship skills.

The areas of attention should include:
- Open communication
- Consistent communication
- Loyalty
- Sacrifice
- Mutual goals
- Shared commitment

If you LEARN to be better in your relationships, you will find a GREAT success in your PERSONAL and PROFESSIONAL lives.

Cheers,
Zach
