take the emotion out of business,I cringe, because it shows a lack of understanding of what emotion actually is. Emotion is energy-in-motion. The essence of what we are. So removing emotion from anything we do, means removing the very core of who we are. How the heck is that beneficial?
To be highly successful in business, requires us to be genuine in our pursuits, otherwise our efforts come across as inauthentic hype. Emotions are a huge part of real connection, because we always lead with our energy. Meaning that, people can sense when we're focused more on money than their interests; when there's an underlying agenda to our approach; when it's really just about our own gains. We can't fake it! Our emotion (the cause) ALWAYS plays a role in the outcome (the effect).
When it comes to business, what actually IS essential to success is detachment to that outcome. Detachment doesn't mean we don't care, in fact it means the complete opposite. It means we KNOW that when we give from our hearts we also reap the rewards. It's just how life works. With this awareness, we're able to let go and simply be of service to others.
So no, it is not about taking the emotion out of business. It's about aligning our energy with success, shifting our focus from what we can get, to what we can give. It's about filling our hearts with genuine appreciation and releasing expectation of end results. When we master this, the sting of those not interested in what we offer, won't be a big deal. We'll just accept the outcome without taking it personally; without internalizing it as failure or rejection, and simply move on to share our gifts with those that vibe with our vision.
