MY FAVORITE FIVE THAT I TALK WITH CLIENTS ABOUT

Stick to YOUR rules in business, but first remember to create them.

What if Business was a game?

What if it was like checkers and the winner gets more pieces. Or maybe it was like horse shoes where points are added up and there is the winner and the loser(s) simply high five the winner and move on to the next match. Or maybe even easier, what if business was like hopscotch where rocks and sticks are thrown around for a specific but fun reason?

Well it is. Business is a game if you would like to think of it that way. Many people and business books will allow you to believe or instruct you to believe that business is a struggle, a battle, a war to be won by decimating the competition. My clients do not think of business this way. They have found the fun in business by taking the battle out of the equation and allowing themselves and their employees and clients to INVENT the game and the rules with them.

When business is not a game it feels real, it is a struggle and people suffer. Do you suffer at work or in your work? Then perhaps you are experiencing what I mean and you may be missing the fun in it. I am referring to some ill-conceived notion that work and business life MUST be a struggle. I think we inherited this thought process and like a big piece of bait on a hook we swallowed it, hook, line and sinker as they say. This is important because NOT ONE of my clients said that they got into business to suffer more. We swallowed the notion years ago when we were unaware and doing our best to fit in and survive. We wanted that job when we were younger and would have done anything to have it, apparently getting it also meant that we also bought into the notion of work being a four letter word.

Flash forward to present day. Kids coming out of school today wanting to enter the workforce are bringing something new with them. That is determination. They are determined NOT to suffer, not to work in a slave shop, not to work long hours unless they want to, they are determined to have fun and are not only determined they actually expect to have fun with conditions that work for them and make a whole bunch of money in the process. If you don’t believe me buy and read the book REWORK by the kids at 37 signals, they are living the new rules and loving it.

Business for most is NOT a life and death decision. Period. Most of you think that you do mission critical work. Not true. Please understand that if you fall off the face of the earth, that someone else will simply fill your shoes. Now is the time to INVENT your rules in business, even if you work for someone else. The fun in the game comes from a declaration of wanting to have fun, Start there. What I have done with many clients is to help them construct a specific plan to invent THEIR game in business.

 

 

 

 

• What qualities do you want in your for real every day business life?
  What can that business life expect from you?
  And; What are you willing to improve to have YOUR best work experience?

 

My question is: Have you ever asked yourself those questions?

And if you have, was it while you were in the trenches, down and out with a deadline and just struggling and suffering. I thought so. Your authentic voice was speaking to you in those times. You perhaps want more, you should as you deserve more. You deserve more peace, more laughter, more RESULTS that matter to you. This is the stuff that makes our lives great. I will not be the guy lying on my death bed wishing I laughed more I will tell you that much. These questions are part of the Strategic Attraction Plan many of my clients have found great value in.

I inspire you to be in touch. I chose a long time ago not to suffer in business period. Many of my current and past clients choose to live this new order of life and business and have implemented the Fun, Freedom and Ease in their own businesses life and you can too. Your next step is to be inspired enough to take action now and be in touch and tell me you are ready to talk. I am here and ready to start that conversation leading you to the life you love in business. Thanks for being brave and cheers.
