Getting "Married" and the 5 Pillars

This article was written by my good friend, Paul Murphy, who is actually getting married today (3-16-10)!  Congratulations, Paul, on your marriage and thanks for sharing your insights with us on your special day. :-D

Treat your business like a marriage, and you'll have a much better chance of building a relationship that will endure challenges and the test of time.

For example, if you just go out to the bars and marry the first one you set your eyes on, you are probably setting yourself up for quick and certain failure. You haven't taken the time to get to know that person well enough to build a lasting relationship, or who may have too many hidden issues that will SURPRISE down the road.

There will be bad habits that are hard to break, and drive each other absolutely crazy!

You may have heard the phrase "The family model drives the behavior in the home?

Far too many people fall in love with the hype, like gazing into blue eyes, they melt your heart, only to find the beauty is a wrapper on a dirty white elephant. By the time you figure it out, you're 100 K in the hole, looking for a shovel to bury yourself with...

Your "pick" may have poor relationship skills, no life experience, or worse!

The timing may be all wrong, and it's been said you should know someone a minimum of 2 years before making a commitment.

The product of your emotions may be awesome, but if you're not happy with the whole enchilada you may find yourselves wandering around Craigs List looking for something even better, something beautiful and with no strings attached!

Your marriage contract may be one sided and totally unfair with termination clauses masked in legal jargon.

The compensation of love may not be worth the time and effort to see it through to fruition.

You won't have a proven duplicatable system you can pass on to your children, they will learn from you and make the same mistakes you did, and the cycle will perpetuate for ever and ever... ewwwwww  :~o

Why not get the education, learn the skills, and do it right the first time?

The morals of the story:

Choose your business like you would choose your soul mate.

Be a critical thinker, not a compulsive stinker...

Build a relationship that will prosper your children's children.

Hang with the best, run from the rest!

Last but not least, don't ask your friend who's been through 5 failed marriages for advice on building a lasting relationship.
