I spent a few hours this morning with a friend at a local T.V. studio. You see, Terry also happens to be a client and we met there to edit a television spot for her awesome health food restaurant.
Needless to say, it’s a great commercial… but then again, how could we miss?
After all, not only is her business cutting edge… with an incredible menu, tight relationships with local growers, and the freshest organic produce combined in exclusive recipes to delight the senses of sight, smell, and taste… but the atmosphere also delivers the one piece that’s missing at many companies.
Sure, Terry loves her business… but more importantly, she loves her people.
All of them.
Business associates… customers… employees… yeah, even vendors. And it’s unmistakable, evident from the moment you arrive… that her people REALLY love her in return. Yes, they love working WITH her… and they love working FOR her.
Needless to say, such an environment is a very attractive place to be.

There are those in life who are willing to USE PEOPLE to get more of the THINGS that they love… and then there are those on the other side who are willing to use the THINGS they have… to show their LOVE FOR PEOPLE.
The question is… Given the choice, who would YOU prefer to do business with? Or taken from another view… Given the choice, who would your customers and prospects prefer to work with?
It’s worth considering, for one thing is certain… they definitely HAVE the choice!
And in the end, it is our RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHERS that will determine the SUCCESS of our businesses, the SIGNIFICANCE of our work, and the HAPPINESS of our lives.
I look forward to speaking with you soon.
