What up you all?
I'm in the kitchen cooking biz..nug... k..k..k..I'm in the kitchen cooking business.
Nuggets, wa, wa, wa...
I'm in the kitchen cooking business.
And this is a very special edition of biz nuggets because it's right before Valentines
Day.
Okay, so today is a very special edition of our famous biz nuggets.
Why?
Because we're doing a little Valentines Day theme right now and in case, you're watching
this video after Valentines Day, just imagine it's Valentines Day okay.
So what we're going to talk about today is the secret to having a fantastic relationship
with your business.
And, the way we're going to look at this is actually through the everyday problems that
most of us gals have experienced with real relationships.
Whether that's with a girl or a boy, don't make no difference with me but we all have
had human relationships.
Well, at least I hope you have.
So one of the first problems right, that always comes into play is if you get into a relationship
for the wrong reason.
So let's be honest, ladies, most of us have dated someone at least once in our life or
maybe you even married him for his money.
Hate to say it but it's certainly happened, maybe not to you but to someone that you know.
Maybe, right?
Well, some people get into business for the absolute wrong reasons and actually it's the
same one because they think the business is going to make them money.
They're only doing it for the money.
They see it as a means to an end and I've heard many women unfortunately say, "I'm going
to start this online business so I can make some extra money so than I can do what I really
want to do."
Meh.
That's a terrible, terrible idea that is not a good strategy for long-term success or long-term
satisfaction.
What you really need if you want a lasting, loving relationship with your business is
what we like to call the CYP Factor.
Now if you don't know what the CYP Factor is, I'm not going to go into it right here.
You're going to watch it on this video (http://bit.ly/cypfactor).
This video it's going to explain the CYP Factor and it's all about bringing passion, a very
special kind of passion to your business.
And, the only things that you really take on in life have the CYP Factor.
Secret number one!
So one of the other problems that all of us have had is we stay in a relationship because
it's familiar.
Right, we're really comfortable in that relationship.
We've been in it for so long.
Even if we have that little voice inside that knows we should move on to something better.
That it's time for a fresh new beginnings.
We stay because you know maybe our friends really like that relationship.
Our family likes that relationship, it's really comfortable.
Not a great reason to stay in a relationship.
Same thing is true for your business.
Most of us have multiple innerations of who we want to be in this world and many times
if you've been a business for a long time but you've lost the passion.
You've lost the spark and you know it's time to move on.
You have to move on!
You can close that business.
You can sell the original one.
All kinds of honorable ways to really wrap it up and then move on to what you really
want to do.
But really pay attention and be honest with yourself.
So the third biggest problem that we always experience in relationships is all about communication.
If you think about it, right?
Once you stop communicating with your partner, you're not listening to what they like.
You don't have any clue what's working for them or what's not.
And at the same token, you're not telling them what's working for you and what's not.
When the communication breaks down, the relationship breaks down and it's a downward spiral from
there.
Well, the same thing is true in your business, you actually have to have really open communication
with your business just like it was a real person because it is an entity, right?
So what does that mean?
You want to take a look at your banking statements.
You want to have a really good relationship with your bookkeeper.
You want to know how is the money flowing.
Is there a nice clear flow of in and out?
You want to take a look at how you're communicating with customers?
Are your customers happy with your products and services?
Are they giving you feedback?
Are you listening to that feedback?
Are you evolving?
Are you communicating with your business and having a really healthy relationship with
it?
If not, I guarantee it's not going to be a very pleasant experience.
So the way to take care of that is just open up those lines of communication.
Dig right in and start figuring out what's going on.
Alright, so those are some secrets to having a great relationship with your business.
I hope you enjoyed this biz nugget for today!
