Love is Good for Business
With Valentine’s Day is coming up, I was curious to see whether being in love helped entrepreneurs. Did romance give business owners and managers an energy boost or drain their time and energy? When it comes to the bottom line, do they think it’s better to be married or single?So I had The Planning Shop (my company) conduct a survey of individuals registered for our monthly newsletter. We got 130 responses by e-mail between Feb. 6 and Feb. 8. Not all respondents answered every question.
The conclusion? Fall in love or walk down the aisle and your bank account benefits. Overwhelmingly, entrepreneurs reported that love was good for the bottom line — with 59% reporting positive financial effects.
In fact, entrepreneurs are upbeat about the effects of love and marriage in three of the four areas surveyed: finances, focus and self-esteem. The only area in which entrepreneurs reported slightly more negative than positive effects from being in love was the impact on their time.

Hi:
Yes, I agree love can help business.
When one is in love, he feels better about himself.
This helps his mind to function better and increases his creativity.
One of the most powerful keys to outstanding business achievement is creativity, and love can help turn it on and make it flow like a river.
