Budding crushes require attention to grow and build. You should see the attention my son gives his ex-girlfriend revenge. They go to the movies, he walks her home from school, he takes her shopping, and he takes her flowers when they have a date. He wants her to know he likes her, a lot.

New business is like that. You spend every waking moment in the early days worrying about your business, dusting the shelves, sorting through the misfits and deleting what isn't working to replace it with what does work. Then you get to the point where you've finally got the profit you want from the business and you're burned out.

The relationship has grown stale and you can't quite get up the energy to put on your best outfit for a night of burgers and sodas at the Burger Barn, so you call your girl and say, "Let's go casual. I'll pick you up in a few minutes, be ready." She hears you drive up and runs to the car, so you don't have to walk to the door and escort her back. You don't even bother to get her door for her. "She can open the door herself."

You show up just in time to open the door and let the first customers in at the shop. Your business gets a lick and a promise, you don't give it the amount of time required to keep up with everything, and the customers begin to notice your lack of enthusiasm. But they still come back.

You stop having time to spend with your girl. You spend time with your friends again instead, thinking you've got plenty of time to see her. She feels neglected and starts seeing her friends more. They tell her about their new boyfriend and she wonders... Why don't you treat her as nice anymore?

Your customers look around and don't see what they want, you no longer offer to special order what they ask for, and they no longer feel like you appreciate their business. Slowly, they stop coming to your store. Your business struggles and you can't figure out why you're losing money.

Your ex-girlfriend revenge sits at home night after night waiting for you to call. You don't. She goes out with ex-girlfriend revenges and hears about their new boyfriends, she wants you to call. But you don't. You're busy with your friends and you notice that when you get together with your ex-girlfriend revenge, she seems distant. You don't take her flowers. You don't hold her hand. And she has to open her own door.

What happens if you give your business and your relationships the attention they deserve?
