What's Love Got To Do With It?

In Life and in Business, is Success Connected to Love?

Most definitely.

For Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and Pixar Animation Studios, success of Apple Computers came out of his love for computers as well as a desire to give his customers products that would meet their needs in an easy-to-use format.

Love and self discovery is so important to Steve that he delivered a commencement address on June 12, 2005, in which he states, "You've got to find what you love."

Does Tiger Woods love the game of golf?

Does Tiger love to practice?

Does Tiger love to win?

Tiger was taught as a toddler to master golf in order to develop his genius rather than solely as a road map to a diamond-studded destiny.

What's love got to do with success?

Everything.

Now, there are individuals who are successful purely out of a love of money; for example, individuals who amass great wealth through illegal means.

However, I am not referring to that type of love which is what is referred to in the Bible as being "the root of all evil."

Rather, I am suggesting that we look within to discover our talents, hobbies, and skills. Then, passionately commit our time, energy, and resources to their development while also building alliances with other success seekers in order to ensure that together we can form a team where everyone is a winner in a game where the prize is that all of our dreams come true.
