How hard do you work to find and/or keep your customers? Do you put in time every day to make sure things are running smoothly? Are you constantly trying to improve your product or services in order to either get more customers or sell more product? Of course you are. That is how it works. What’s the saying in business, “If you aren’t growing you are dying”?
So what would happen to your business if you weren't always trying to grow? If you stopped trying to improve? Well, you would putter along a likely be fine for a few years. It likely wouldn't be obvious right away. It would take some time before sales started to fall just a little. You could possibly blame the economy or employees or some other factor for the drop. After a few more years, the decline would quicken, and if you still didn't start making an effort to grow, it would likely slide to the point that you would have to close your doors.
If you aren't growing, you're dying.
Your business is fresh and exciting in the beginning, just like your relationship. You want them both to grow, you want them both to last forever. So why is it that we spend so much time working on and nurturing our business and not our relationship?
Relationships are hard? Business is easier? Yes, that's true. There is a reason. We learn about business from a young age, from our parents, our friends, from television and movies. We can even take business courses at college.....the world revolves around business! We can understand business and we are good at it as we have been learning about it for years!
Yes, relationships are a little harder in the beginning. That's because we haven't been learning about them all of our lives. Nobody has been teaching us how to be "A Conscious Partner". We haven't been learning all of the little tricks that make things easier and helps us to communicate more effectively with our partner.
Yes, being a Conscious Partner does take a little effort. Just like running your business though, once you learn the concepts and behaviors, it does become second nature. Best of all, relationship development can be fun! We can promise that there are no couches or yoga mats....just straight talk in a fun and relaxed environment. Let us show you how!
