Business Should Be Fun!

by | Oct 23, 2023 | Develop yourself, More business

With all the doom and gloom about inflation, interest rates, housing shortages, war and the rest of the stuff that is causing misery in the ranks, I think that we are ready for this timely reminder.

It is all about enjoying doing what you do. Therefore, here is a simple question.

Are you having any fun?

Yep, that’s what life is all about… having some fun… but there are many people around who are so miserable they’d only laugh at a train crash. Now, you’re going to be dead for a long time so now’s the time to be enjoying life.

So, how do you make sure you are having fun?

Well, you mix with the right kind of people… people who love what they do and do what they love.

I have three questions I ask myself of any potential client before I’ll do business with them and here they are:

  1. Do I like the person? I know you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover but, as a rule, books with crappy covers are crappy books. If we don’t have empathy, it’s never going to work.
  2. Do they have a viable business? If the business isn’t going to make it, all the help in the world isn’t going to make it go. It’s no use flogging a dead horse!
  3. Will they take my advice? Many people listen and then do exactly what they were going to do anyhow. The trouble is that when it doesn’t work… they blame you. So why waste your time with people who don’t listen?

This is the classic that has helped thousands of people understand the nuts and bolts of basic business. If you haven't heard it, this is one you must get now.

Now, sure, I know that these rules mightn’t be appropriate for you and your role in your business but the important thing is to establish the rules that will work for you.

In your personal life think of some simple rules you can use to assess whether you want a person in your life. If you don’t, they’re sure as heck gunna rain on your parade.

After all, we’re not here for a long time; we’re here for a good time! To enjoy it we need to surround ourselves with positive people.
