How much fun do you have in your business? How much fun are you having creating your business?For too many of us fun and business are mutually exclusive. Business is serious, and fun is what we do when we're not working. Or at least that's the way it seems for many of us.I don't believe it has to be this way.What if fun is actually a serious business? What if fun could be part of our every day lives?What change could that create on the planet I wonder?And what could that create for your business?But business is serious, I hear you say. I have to make money. It can't all be fun.Really? I guess it depends on your definition of fun.For me, I know that when I got really serious about business, I left me out of the equation. I did what I thought that people in business should do to be successful. The only thing I was successful at in that instance was blowing that business up - as I was being totally inauthentic to who I was and I was having no fun at all.Now I know that the more true to myself I am and the more I create from a space of fun, the more energised I become about what I am doing and creating and the more possibilities and adventures show up.So what is fun for you?For some people it is talking to people, or creating deals or fixing things or building things. The list is truly endless.If you don't know, then get curious and find out.What if fun is just a choice?
What if, when you are having fun you are being you at your best? Some people would call that being in the flow.When we are having fun we are open, receptive, creative, productive and energised... and we wouldn't choose to be that at work for what reason?Follow the energyI once knew someone who was so talented in so many ways. However, rather than follow the energy and enjoy and create from what was fun for him, he would say things like 'but how can this make me money? And so would talk himself out of it before he had even begun. He killed off the possibilities.If you are not having funIf you are in business where you are not engaged, inspired and motivated - then my simple question is why are you doing it?If you can choose to create anything, and you can - what would make you pick something that doesn't have you jumping out of bed each day eager to see what adventures unfold that day?Looking to create more funThen begin to play with some of these questions.If I was having fun what would I be doing different here?What would it take for this to be fun?What else is possible here?Who would I be here if I was having fun?What am I choosing to be here? How is that working for me?What would I like to choose now?Who else can I involve that would make this more fun for me?
