“Out-Sacrifice Your Mate” Builds Rock Solid Relationships

“Out-sacrifice Your Mate”

Hmm....

This is such a fascinating concept.

How does this relate to business??

Let's take a peek...

When preparing for marriage, most of us have heard the phrase, a successful marriage relies on "compromise".

Compromise, and you'll have a happy marriage.

It's all about Give and Take, right??

Well, please allow me to share a little story with you.

Several years ago my wife and I attended a wedding of a relative.

An absolutely beautiful wedding.

It was an outdoor setting.

In the the woods at House Mountain, just outside of Lexington, Virginia.

A gorgeous day at the end of August.

This was prior to COVID when we could still socialize freely.?

During the ceremony, while taking in the breathtaking views, enjoying the wonderful music, admiring the beautiful bride and handsome groom as well as the entire wedding party, a piece of advice was dropped that I will never forget.?

The preacher made a comment that he felt was the answer and key to a successful marriage.

A golden nugget that hit me like a thunder bolt.

He shared, "if you Out-sacrifice Your Mate, you will always have a happy marriage".

WOWZER! Drop the mic.

That comment blew me away.

I had always thought the key was to compromise.??

I do this for you, you do that for me.?

This minister completely dispelled that myth by sharing this powerful concept of dedicating ourselves to "Out-Sacrifice Your Mate."?

My wife & I found this as an excellent goal to strive towards to make our marriage thrive.

As a result, committing to trying to "Out-sacrifice" each other on our way to a successful marriage and happy life.?

Out-sacrifice Your Mate?

This wonderful piece of advice made me think about how this concept could also apply to business life.

How can we apply the "Out-sacrifice Our Mate" to our business and professional relationships?

I have been blessed with amazing business partners over the years.

Yet, looking back, did I work hard enough to “Out-sacrifice” each of them?

Probably not.?

What about employees? Customers? Vendors?

Just think if we enter these relationships with a deep commitment to "out-sacrificing" the other person.?

Treating it almost like a competition.?

Out-Sacrificing your business partner(s), your employees, co-workers, as well as your customers.?

If you could treat your business relationships including your customers and clients with that same unapologetic attitude of "Out-sacrifice Your Mate", just think of the powerful results.?

Sounds like a winning formula on the path to success.?

You will attract TONS of Soulmates when word on the street is you are an "out-sacrificer".?

This sets the bar quite high while making it easy for Soulmates (aka ideal customers) to fall head over heels in love with you.?
