I’ve been reading Top Performance by Zig Ziglar and Jim Savage. It’s an awesome book for leaders. There is a lot of advice on how to be a great leader and how to inspire the people that work for you to do great things.
Something that really caught my eye toward the end of the book was in regards to balancing work and family life. They used a study that was done by a German Insurance Company to show that in reality a good home life is good for your career. This study showed that if a man kissed his wife goodbye daily, he was more successful. And by a kiss, they mean a real, passionate kiss, not a quick peck on the cheek. The study found that these men not only lived almost 6 years longer, they also made 20 to 30 percent more money as those who just walked out the door in the morning!
So if you want to increase your income, tomorrow don’t let your spouse get out the door without a kiss, and make it one to remember!
