Are you wondering what the next killer app will be? Do you want to know how you can maintain and add to your value during these rapidly changing times? Are you wondering how the word love can even be used in the context of business?These are the questions answered by Tim Saunders is his paperback book: Love Is the Killer App . Tim Sanders, director of Yahoo's in-house think tank, believes love is the crucial element in the search for personal and professional success. He warns against the “kill- or- be-killed mentality” as a means of success. I invite you to read this book and find out how to become a lovecat—a nice, smart person who succeeds in business and in life.According to Saunders you become a lovecat by sharing your intangibles:Your knowledge: everything that comes from all the books that you devour and all the skills you acquired. He encourages readers to religiously carve out time to read and become proficient in their field. In other words, become a walking encyclopedia that can provide insights at a moment’s notice to those in need.Your network: the collection of friends and contacts you now have, which enable you to grow and nurture. Indeed, true networking is more about finding ways to give rather than to receive. ( Umm, did I read that concept somewhere in an ancient text? And one of the best things you can give to another person might be an introduction to someone they might especially benefit from meeting.Your compassion: that human warmth you already possess that you can show freely at the office. While we need to be professional, we need to remember that business is human interaction. We should, therefore, be human, showing concern, care, warmth and love to those we interact with.Results:* You become a rich source of information to all around you.* You are seen as a person with valuable insight.* You are perceived as generous to a fault, producing surprise and delight.* You double your business intelligence in one year.* You triple your network of personal relationships in two years.* You quadruple the number of colleagues in your life who love you like family.Saunders concludes, “In short, you become one of those amazing, outstanding people to whom everyone turns, who leads rather than follows, who never runs out of ideas, contacts, or friendship.Here’s the real scoop: Nice guys don’t finish last. They rule!” Proverbs 11:25 puts it succinctly, “Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.”Share your knowledge, build your network and show compassion! Join my home business team with that foundation and leave a legacy for your family.
