Your Feelings & Your Bottom Line

by Rick Baker
On Jan 5, 2012

Business Leaders: how do you feel when your bottom line is positive, healthy, and growing?

When your bottom-line profits are pretty darned good, do you feel:

  • Terrible? or
  • Nothing? or
  • Pretty Darned Good?
I am going to hazard a guess and say, "When your bottom-line profits are pretty darned good you feel Pretty Darned Good".
 
So, to some degree, perhaps to a large degree, your bottom-line profits impact on how you feel.
 
There is a cause-and-effect at play here.
 
Good bottom lines lead to good feelings.
 
How about flipping it around...
 
Wouldn't you agree with the following: Good feelings lead to good bottom lines!
 
 
PS: In fact, isn't it impossible to imagine how bad feelings could ever lead to good bottom line profits?

“Those feeling good about themselves are more cooperative in bargaining and more likely to find a constructive solution to their conflicts. They are also better problem solvers, more motivated to succeed, and more likely to persist in the face of a challenge.”

"The great majority of people, no matter how rough in manner or bearing, are kind-hearted, and would much rather help than hinder a fellow-being, but they have all they can do to attend to their own affairs. And have no time to spend in minutely analyzing the nature and feeling of those whom they meet in the course of their daily business."

Orison Swett Marden
‘Pushing to the Front’, (1911)

"In the end, it is our feelings which give any value to the outcome of our thinking. The purpose of thinking is to serve our values and our feelings. This is not to say that feelings are always helpful or justified."

Edward de Bono
'Teach Yourself To Think', 1995
