Learning from Oprah

Oprah Winfrey is a marketing guru. Her team has done an excellent job creating her business empire over the last 25 years. There are pages & pages we could write about what we learned from Oprah so we are going to concentrate on her last show.

Connect
It's all about the connection with your clients, team, vendors & business friends. How are you connecting with the people in your business life? Do you take time to really know them?

Embrace
Oprah has changed over the past 25 years. Not only has she changed, she has embraced those who might be seen as her enemies. Are you willing to encircle with others that might not share your business point of view? How are you embracing change? Your business will not only survive, it will thrive once you embrace new concepts, successful business people in your industry & necessary changes needed for your business life.

Liberate
It's import that your business, no matter what the industry, have a redeeming quality. Oprah is queen of delivering information that is useful in life. When some think of  the word "liberate" they have a  bad connotation. Liberate is to set-free, release, redeem.  How do you release who you are in your work life? Do you provide information that will liberate your clients, team members, business friends & vendors? If you do, they will be telling all their friends which will grow your business life.

Love
Yes we said love. Oprah didn't necessarily sell us on love. She did show how love should be the basis of all our actions even in business. When you act out of goodness, love, goodwill, your business will receive love. Some of you are saying, "But love doesn't pay the bills". Love may not pay the bills, but the business it will bring you will. Some of you are saying, "What's love got to do with it!". Love should be the basis for all our actions, personal & business.  What is the heart of your business? Find it & you will be successful.
