Business or Pleasure

While witnessing the wedding ceremony of a businessman and his fiancé recently, I could not help but focus on the tremendous amount of planning and decision making that went into making their wedding day a success. What was obvious to me was the number of people that became employed to fulfill the wishes of the delightful couple. Talk about a stimulus package! The amazing thing about it all was how the couple’s selection of business oriented groups, hired to provide different services for the event, really made it all come together into one
beautiful wedding day. This reminds me of how the Neothink® Society teaches us to put together all the puzzle pieces which will create one beautiful business
plan.

The short wedding ceremony was held at a reputable hotel in downtown Atlanta where the bride and groom exchanged their vows before several witnesses. Following the ceremony was a beautiful reception; providing a five course meal which was served by employing some of Atlanta ‘s finest chefs and servers.

As I looked around the room filled with about fifty of the bride and groom’s closest, and most loving friends and their relatives, I continued to reflect on several of the other choices made by the couple that went into sealing their love for each other.

Beginning with the bride’s dress, the suit chosen that really made the groom look so distinguished; the beautiful fresh flowers nestled on each guest’s table, a black and white wedding cake that towered in the corner, and the amazing string quartet that played beautiful music all evening long. Leaving the hall with a gift of a silhouette portrait from the bride and groom, I was
convinced that the bride and groom and those invited were not the only happy ones that evening, but so were the numerous people employed to make that event a success. That’s what good business should be, “A Win, Win for Everyone!”
