What\u2019s Love Got to Do With It?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

When it comes to the elements of business success, most people don\u2019t think about love.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 But love is essential in business, as it is in our personal lives.<\/p>\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.\u00a0 Stay with me here, as I examine what is needed for a business to go beyond surviving– to thriving.<\/p>\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, \u00a0to be respected, to feel appreciated, to be treated with integrity, and to know that you are cared about.\u00a0 When you look at these elements, they\u2019re parts of what we call \u201cLove\u201d. \u00a0\u00a0Your employees and your clients are the \u201clife blood\u201d of your business, as it were. \u00a0Just like you, they don\u2019t check who they are as human beings “at the door” when they are in their professional environments.\u00a0 And as human beings, the deepest calling of our hearts is to be loved.<\/p>\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 appreciated, they don\u2019t feel valued…the same reason that many clients leave businesses\u2026and many people leave relationships.<\/p>\n

Where to start?\u00a0 Start with listening, with truly HEARING.\u00a0 I recall a saying–\u201cBeing heard is so akin to being loved, that the two are indivisible.\u201d\u00a0 Try this with your children, spouses, friends, employees, and customers.\u00a0 \u00a0Then take the next step, and address what it is that concerns them.\u00a0 Then watch what unfolds\u2026and what happens to yourself as you become the type of leader that others want to follow.<\/p>\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.<\/p>\n
