Relationships Are Like A Business

Saturday, October 25, 2008

If you stop to think about it, having a relationship with a guy or a girl is like running a business in some sense. When you are in the "talking and dating" phase that is like a job interview. You want the job, you want to present yourself as a good candidate for the position, you make yourself look good and your past look good, polishing up the ol' "resume", hoping you get a call back.When you get the job, youre happy and excited and hopeful to try new things and ventures.But as often happens, once you have "the job" you tend to slack a little. Forget things. Disrespect. Argue. Call in "sick". People get too complacent. Too leniate People try to screw over the company in this case, YOU.Well what happens when you do that? In business you might get warnings. verbal or written. Then next time, termination. Simple as that.In a relationship if you fuck up plain in simple, terminated. Thats it. Pink Slip. You're gone. You decide to fuck up and slack or be slick? Thats it. You're no good to the company, take your final paycheck and go.Beg for your job back? Please o Please I have bills to pay!. Did that matter when you were slacking? And working for others behind the companys back? Thats a liability to the company. Termination should be final. Sometimes you cant come back.Dates are like business meetings. Making sure everything is running smoothly, emotionwise and physically. Making sure everything is A Ok.Dating and cupcaking in the beginning, is the job interview. Be honest, Dont lie on your resume. Dont lie about your past. One lie and your caught? Thats it...next.Never cheat the company, your ass will be terminated and in the worst case prosecuted.People: My advice is run your love life like a successful company. Work on things together, as a team. Build it from the ground up. Make it productive and successful. Deal with problems in a timely and professional manner. Be courteous and respectful of each other. Treat each other fairly. And never ever try to be slick, cheat or lie or defraud the company. You as the boss, of your own life and destiny decide who to promote to boyfriend, girlfriend, fiancee, husband, wife, baby daddy, mother of your children...and who to fire for lack of attendance, bad behavior, negative attitude and poor performace, no pun intended.Keep this in mind. Its never personal. Only business. Dont get hurt. Be happy. Live life. Love.
