What’s Love Got to Do With It?

This past week I’ve finally had a chance to catch up on some past teleseminars. Over the summer, I took Andrea Williams’ Start Up Success Series. I ordered the “deluxe” package which included all 15 speakers on CD. This was a good thing because I can pop a CD in my car each day when I do preschool pickups. My daughter is too busy talking to her friend to notice what is on the radio…

Anyway, one of my favorite speakers in the series so far is Lisa McLeod. Lisa was very funny, but her message is very profound. The main message of Lisa’s teleseminar was that you need to come at your business from a place of love. If you adopt love as your ultimate strategy — your business will grow beyond your wildest imaginings. OK, I know that you all are probably thinking — Meredith has finally crossed over to “woo woo” land (a true danger when working with life coaches) — but if you think this through — it makes a lot of sense.

Studies have shown that people are happiest when they are in the moment (that is a whole other post for another time) and when they are doing something that they feel is making a difference.

If you can get to the point where you (and the people working with you) can see the difference you are making in people’s lives — everything will flow. The first thing I thought of when I was listening to Lisa was my (very on the side) business with Send Out Cards. It is very easy to get into the love mentality with Send Out Cards because SOC makes it very easy to show people that you love them by sending them a greeting card. You choose and create the card online, click send and then the company prints and mails the card for you. The company encourages its distributors to send a heartfelt card everyday. Yes, I know that means that they sell more cards — but… when I take the time each day to really tell someone how much I love them — it has a powerful effect on my life and on my day. Talk about a business based on love. If you want to try out Send Out Cards — you can send a card for free as my gift. I’ll even personally walk you through the process. Go to my send out cards website , and click on the banner. Or (even better), send me an e-mail at meredithe at gmail dot com and we can set up a time to walk through sending a card together.
