When it comes to the elements of business success, most people don\u2019t think about love. <\/span>When I bring this topic up (cautiously, I might add), I can almost hear the Tina Turner song, \u201cWhat\u2019s Love Got to Do With It?\u201d playing in the background. <\/span>But love is essential in business, as it is in our personal lives.<\/div>\n
Yeah, I know that love is a “touchy-feely” word, but I\u2019m going to stand my ground here and state that without bringing love into your business, you\u2019re sunk…or at the best, stuck. Stay with me here, as I examine what is needed for a business to go beyond surviving– to thriving. <\/span> <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
You, your customers and clients, and your employees all need to the same things\u2014to have your needs taken care of, to be heard, <\/span>to be respected, to be treated with integrity, and to know that you are cared about. <\/span>When you look at these elements, they\u2019re parts of what we call \u201cLove\u201d. <\/span>Your employees and your clients are the \u201clife blood\u201d of your business, as it were. <\/span>Just like you, they don\u2019t check who they are as human beings “at the door” when they are in their professional environments. <\/span>And as human beings, the deepest calling of our hearts is to be loved.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The ugly truth is that, according to research by the Gallup organization and the US Labor Bureau, the main reason that employees leave a job is because they don’t feel cared about…the same reason that clients leave businesses. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So love your employees, love your clients, serve them by wanting for them what you want for yourself, and you will find that your business AND your life will be much richer. <\/div>\n
