Profits Boosted by Boosting LQ

The Maths of LQ: How a Finance Manager Boosted Profits

Most people think profits come from numbers.

A Love Intelligent leader knows profits come from people.

Let me show you the maths of Love Intelligence (LQ).

A Finance Manager in a mid-sized company was under pressure.
Sales were flat. Costs were rising. The CEO wanted higher profits.

The typical reaction would be simple:

Cut costs. Reduce staff. Push sales harder.

But this Finance Manager tried something different.

He applied Love Intelligence.

First, he started listening to the operations team instead of blaming them for inefficiency. They revealed small problems in procurement that management had ignored for years.

Second, he treated suppliers as partners instead of squeezing them for the lowest price. One supplier then suggested a packaging change that reduced logistics cost by 12%.

Third, he encouraged the finance team to work with sales instead of policing them. The team discovered certain customers were highly profitable while others quietly destroyed margins.

Within one year, the numbers looked like this:

Better supplier collaboration → 12% logistics savings
Smarter customer focus → 8% margin improvement
Higher employee engagement → lower operational waste

The company’s profit increased by 23%.

No new product.
No major investment.
Just better human decisions.

That is the maths of LQ.

Love → Trust
Trust → Cooperation
Cooperation → Better ideas
Better ideas → Higher profits

In the AI era, machines will optimise spreadsheets.

But only humans with Love Intelligence can optimise relationships.

And relationships are where the real profits are hiding.

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years. Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself? At least I have better discipline". It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Have You Found Your Sun Yi and Teresa Teng?

I n the long, unfolding history of the Chinese-language music scene, "The Moon Represents My Heart" 月亮代表我的心 stands as an unsurpassable milestone. Yet, the journey of this globally renowned masterpiece, a song that would eventually captivate the world, was fraught with setbacks: it was once dismissed as "trash" by its own creator and tossed into a wastebasket, later suppressed by official policy as a "banned song ," and initially failed to gain any traction when performed by two different singers. The dramatic turnaround in this song’s fate is not merely a musical legend; it offers a profound life lesson: the greatest stroke of luck in life is not about how perfect you are, but about encountering the "right people", those who truly understand you, support you, and help you realize your potential, at exactly the right moment. I. The First "Right Person": A "Talent Scout" Who Recognizes Your Worth In the early 1970s, composer T...
