Does Business Mix with Pleasure
Most people will not dispute the fact that any combination of
business and pleasure usually goes down in failure; however there are a
few that have built major corporations and successful businesses from
mixing the two. So what is the secret formula? It requires careful
strategy and skillful weaving to produce a delicate tapestry of balance.
No matter which side of the coin you choose, it is a required business
skill that if not performed and carried out properly - will put you in a
bind. First and foremost, Professional functions stays at the job and the fun is held
in another location. Never forget which is which or you will be out of the
game. There are certain things that are feasible and others that are just
not practical. Know what they are and keep them in your thoughts constantly. Second rule of business is, "Do not play Russian Roulette!" You should always know the places your adversaries,
co-workers and clients go for entertainment and make sure that if you find yourself there, your hair is up, you are in business attire and you are in
production mode. Never be caught off guard. It may cost you your
job and your reputation. Third rule of thumb is, Read between the lines – taking people at face
value on Friday night can cost you a lot come Monday morning.
Professional agreements made in a social environment do not hold water.
It will do you good to remember that. Business deals, contracts, “The
Fine Print” and signatures need to be hammered out and bolted down in
the office. Lastly, those that are successful when mixing business with
pleasure, is simply because they know how to make deals, they know their
boundaries, they know when to work hard and they know when to play harder. They curtail
and co-exist between the two, so if you don't know how to mix business with pleasure, I suggest you don’t do
it at all and always remember - You never know who is watching.
