Many people don’t like what they do for a living. They hate their jobs, dislike their coworkers, and see their customers as interruptions to their days. The secret to success isn’t getting everything you want and then loving it. The key is to start by being in love with what you do, appreciating your teammates, and willingly serving and helping your clients. Do those things and you will start getting everything you want.

To have the qualities of love in your professional life, you need what industry legend Sydell Miller described as creative love. Sydell said, “You must love what you do, love whom you do it with, and love whom you do it for.”

* Love what you do: If you aren’t doing what you love now, then learn to love it while you search for something you feel passionate about.
* Love whom you do it with: Clients don’t want to spend their time or money in a salon where the staff doesn’t get along. Cultivate a good relationship with every person on your team.

* Love whom you do it for: Who do you think pays your paycheck? If you answered your boss or the salon, think again. Your clients ultimately pay. Some salon professionals forget this from time to time. When you put yourself before your clients, your business stops growing. Remember to make your clients feel loved, nurtured, and supported, or they’ll find someone who will.

Love is not a noun; it is a verb that requires action. This simply means that you must do the actions of love, even if the feelings aren’t there. Even if you don’t love some of your fellow team members, do loving things for them anyway, such as shampooing their client or getting their lunch. Respond in loving ways and practice loving actions and they will begin to stick.

It’s important to be aware of the thoughts you send out to the universe. One woman who complained about her job for many years was very distraught when her employers finally fired her. You can’t “hate” your job and expect it to bring you prosperity. In today’s economy, be grateful if you have a job and do everything you can to fall in love with what you do.
