Business - How Vampires Can Help Your BusinessI recently finished watching Season 1 of True Blood. While I can see why it's notfor everyone, I myself enjoy a good vampire romp, especially when it's populatedby such a nice selection of hot-looking actors (who have no issues showing offtheir equally hot bodies).Anyway, it got me thinking about all the vampire stories out there. Vampirelegends have been around for centuries and in nearly every society. Vampiremovies, shows, books, etc. continually pop up on a frequent basis.So why all the fuss? What is it about vampires that just won't die (pun intended)?Well, I've come up with 2 theories:1. There REALLY are real-life, blood sucking, undead vampires roaming about.2. There REALLY are vampires roaming about, but they're HUMAN vampires, suckingthe energy, money, health, time and more out of other people. And these vampirestories are actually a combination of cautionary tales (evil vampires we need tokill) and a way to transform and tame our "inner vampire" to something loving andhuman (the vampire love stories).For my part, I'll put my money on number 2. Which leads me to how this can helpyour business.Vampires are everywhere. I don't think it was a coincidence I finish watching TrueBlood and discover one of my friends and clients was scammed. Con artists andscammers are just another sort of human vampire -- typically they're charming andattractive in some way to their victims (for instance, they're offering somethingattractive) then suck them dry of money, energy, time or more.The thing about vampires is they're hard to spot. (Vampires look human and in manycases they're beautiful.) This is why a lot of times you'll let a vampire in, notknowing it's a vampire until after you've been bit.Here are some signs of common vampires that can be sucking the life right out ofyour business:1. Are there tasks you do in your business that drain you? Typically these aretasks you don't like doing and you're probably not much good at them either. Yep,you're looking at a vampire. The good news is these vampires are selective in whothey bite. (Or maybe these would fall into those vampire love stories -- oneperson's dream vampire love is another person's worst nightmare.)Solution -- do a bit of vampire matchmaking and outsource, find the people wholove those tasks and let them take over.2. Are there people who drain you? Maybe they're a vendor or a client you reallyhave trouble working with. They suck up a lot of your time and energy (and maybeeven money) and you're always exhausted after your encounters.Well, this could be 1 of 2 things -- either you have a real human vampire on yourhands who makes a habit of sucking the life force out of everyone they meet, orthis is like a task vampire. They don't do it to everyone, in fact they probablydon’t even want to be a vampire, but some people bring out the worst in them.Solution -- it's the same, these people are toxic to you for whatever reason and
