Mixing business with pleasure seems to be something we are advised not to do. But how can you really take pleasure out of business, and be successful? If you do not enjoy what you do, then how can your business yield productivity? How can you benefit others?
I say yes to mixing business with pleasure. You should always be professional. This means being organized and know your stuff. But being a prune should never be included in the equation. You need to be yourself. You need to let your personality shine through in whatever it is you do. People are attracted to reality. Just look at the reality shows' success rate these days. How about the Lifetime Movie Network? The majority of its shows are based on true stories. And, of course, there's the traditional news channels. These shows get super high ratings.
Yeah, we enjoy a little fantasy and fiction every now and then, but fiction has its place. In the real world; in the business world, people want to see the real deal; the real you. After all, you are going to be servicing them and they are going to be spending their hard-earned money with you for your time. So, start out with doing something you enjoy, so that you can better service your customers and clients. They will love it and your business will too.
