Love is Your Business: Succeed
Quick question –
What do your mom, Joel Osteen, Eckhardt Tolle and Conde Nast’s Portfolio magazine have in common?
Answer: They know something about the power of love.
In this week’s episode, we take an idea expressed by the toothsome evangelist, Joel Osteen, he of the ubiquitous airport bookrack about his work — and make it our own, about our life.
As you’ll hear, in an article in Portfololio, Mr. Osteen comments on the passion everyone in his company — his church — exhibits in their “product.”
They are charged up because they passionately believe in the message Mr. Osteen’s brand of spirituality offers.
In crass mercantile terms, they believe in their product.
What is your life product?
Consider this: it is the love you create.
In this episode, I explore how you can constantly and FEARLESSLY improve your product — and thereby create the full life of love you most desire.
It ain’t always easy. There are design flaws. Setbacks. Employees (like, um, your will, your discipline, your lovers) may quit midstream.
But you are building your better mousetrap.
You are building a life of love.
Below are some thoughts on how.
One of the keys — it’s what your mom and dad told you (I hope) — which is that it’s never about winning. It’s about putting your full effort into a worthy cause.
That IS victory.
And it is a victory that can never be taken away from you.
Have a listen — and let me know your thoughts about creating your life product: love.

I agree 100%. When your dealing with betrayal and abandonment issues/wounding s… it takes much courage to be truthful. Complete truth, holding back from fear of getting hurt, which in turns you get hurt as most can feel the pull back and that creates fear or hesitancy in them… ah the circle of fear… crazy.. I am being more bold these days… and so far each bold step of honesty and asking for things that help me open up… I get pleasant surprises!
The old patterns are stubborn, and sometimes have an incredible hold, but I say yes to Love and open up communication… truthful talk! It feels right and so poerful though.. even when the risk is… he may not get it or want to travel this road…
Thanks for posing your blog…
Awesome stuff getting out there!

I so enjoy the works of you and your significant partner.
You really are a wonderful writer.
I am in the process of putting my leaf out in the world from a place of love and heart for humanity.I have been a RN for my whole adult life. I care for the elderly community by singing and dancing often to keep up the heart to heart connection.The results are priceless.The paperwork no longer overwhelms me with this new focus, even though the volume has not changed and keeps growing.I wish everyone could see their faces reflecting back.They give me more than I give them.
I have been working on my passions on my days off and my focus is gradually shifting. I, like your woman, will not settle for less than creating a business that allows me to come from my heart, loving and expressing myself as me being me and making that bigger.Sharing my gifts with the world. I choose a path of love and joy.
I understand fully the works of your woman from my own adversities. I also can self clean my emotions and get in right relationship with my self in the moment. She and I would get along well. I can tell.
I am also a dater and love the woman I have become through this process.
I am a Romantic and Financial Alchemist in the works. The journey challenges me in beautiful exciting ways.
This is my life product of love I am working on.
