[Video] If you aren’t cherished, your business will break

I’ve seen it often over the years, a thoughtless comment or action by someone who is supporting your business, or even by a client, undermines all that you’re trying to do. You then spend a lot of time cleaning up the mess, assuring (other) clients that everything is okay…

I’m making a distinction between receiving critique- which is *really* important in any business- versus thoughtless comments and actions that undermine what a business is trying to do.

Here’s what I have to say about this.

Note: I didn’t speak to it in the video, but there is definitely a dynamic where a business owner who is not open to feedback in respectful ways may get that feedback in ways that may seem like they are attacking or undermining the business. That’s a worthwhile topic that needs to be addressed in addition to this one.

What would it feel like if you had permission to only include people who truly cherish you? Who, when they have feedback or pushback, can do it in a way that supports your growth and the business?

With love,

Every act of business can be an act of love.

P.S. Learn to cherish your own business

Cherishing can be expressed as gentle love. And it can also be expressed as learning everything you can about what is needed by the one you are cherishing.

Maybe to cherish your business you need to learn more about what it truly needs to thrive?

Starts next week! But really right now…

Our upcoming program, which will help you truly cherish your business, in many different ways, The Heart of Your Business, has the first live class scheduled for Tuesday, June 30. However, the way the course is structured, we ask students to review teaching materials prior to the class, so it can be a deepening.

In fact, those who are registered already have the pre-work.

This is one of those classes that, while it’s possible to sign up at the last minute, it’s not really the most comforting way to do it.
