Hello hiveleaeners, how are you doing? Love and business go hand-to-hand. Business needs love, love also needs business.
I heard from people that you can't mix feelings with business.
The first thing I want to let you understand is that you need to love your business. Business without love is like a student without readiness, preparation and motivation.
If you love your business, you will try more than your best to grow your business, and if the business experiences failures, such a businessman or businesswoman will not run away from the business.
He/she will do everything in his/her power to revive the business.
Without love, it will be very hard to get a client.
There was a woman who had a mini supermarket; she had a sales girl, her name was Hannah.
Hannah was rude and lacked business ethics. Hannah doesn't like to interact with most of the customers. She had nonchalant attitudes, was very rude, lacked respect and was moody.
Due to her attitudes, I stopped buying from her supermarket; even before I stopped buying from her shop, other people have also stopped buying things from her shop.
Instead of buying from her shop, I walked down the street. There was a day I was trekking to get snacks from the next supermarket. I saw the majority of people who were patronizing the supermarket that Hannah was a sales girl.
One of my friends I met there said, “Chris, what brought you here?”
I replied, I came to buy snacks.
I asked him, Gloria mini Supermarket is very near to you now, why do you come a long way to get something here?
He replied, “I dislike that sales girl called Hannah. Her attitude and character is very bad. She doesn't have a good approach. That is the reason I stopped patronizing the supermarket”.
I replied to him also, the same thing to me also. More than 5 people confirmed the same thing immediately.
After someone told the owner of the supermarket; the owner of the supermarket decided to stay in his supermarket with Hannah for a day. She realized how Hannah was treating customers. She decided to sack Hannah and employ another sales girl.
The love, charisma, and attitudes the new employee displayed made me and other customers began to patronize the mini supermarket again.
Therefore, your business needs love to grow: this is because you must love your business, you must love your employees and most importantly, you must love your customers.
I have heard people saying, mixing feelings with business is dangerous. That is when you allow your business to kill yourself.
Many businesses have been ruined because of family members and friends. I guess that is the reason a writer said “mixing feelings with business is dangerous”.
I have heard businessmen and businesswomen bankrupted as a result of their loved ones. Loved ones took advantage to borrow money without returning it, buy the products and never come back, siphon the funds because they are part of the organization and the CEO cannot fire him/her.
Therefore, to love your business is the best, but never allow your feelings for your loved ones to kill your business.
I stand up for success, and success is not achieved by merely making mouth, No room for laziness, no room for idleness. Success comes to the people who are desperately and consciously searching for it. When it seems unsuccessful or you smell failure around you, never discourage yourself from being successful.
“Discouragement and failure are the two surest stepping stones to success.” - Dale
