Happy People Usually Earn More Money

Happy People Usually Earn More Money

HAPPY PEOPLE
USUALLY EARN MORE

Don’t worry, be happy--a simple saying that can help anyone out of a bad mood. Remaining positive and being happy can lead to great things. Not only does it improve your emotional well-being, but it can also help you to better wealth. It has been found that happy people usually earn more money than those who are not:


Better Productivity


When you’re happy, you’re more likely to get more tasks done. A positive attitude will motivate you to continue your work. A study by the University of Warwick in Coventry, England, found a connection between happiness and productivity. The researchers found that the random individuals chosen for the study who were made to feel happier had up to 12 percent greater productivity than those who were not. The more productive you are at work, the more your boss will notice your hard work which could lead to a significant salary raise.


Performance Reviews


When it comes to impressing the boss, those with happier dispositions and better moods tend to stand out. Happier people were found to have better performance reviews than others. Being happy generally rubs off on coworkers and on customers, which leads to a happier work environment. Being the source of better morale in the workplace looks good to employers and will ensure a better performance review. Better performance reviews can lead to a higher salary and more promotions.


More Optimism


Happier people tend to have a more optimistic outlook on life. This optimism makes them more likely to take on new experiences and opportunities. They aren't afraid of new obstacles and taking on uncertainties. Being unafraid of challenges and risks are traits that have been known to lead to great success. Rather than looking at their mistakes or bad decisions as failures, they see them as learning experiences they can learn from. Learning from their mistakes improves their work and will lead to greater success in the workplace.


Becoming the Solution


It’s no secret that some employees will complain about work. When they complain, the become a part of the problem and therefore bring down the workplace morale. Happier people become a part of the solution. Instead of complaining about the workplace, they try to help make it better and offer new solutions. This demonstrates confidence and leadership, which reflects well to employers. Becoming a part of the solution will present greater and more lucrative work opportunities.


It’s better to be happy rather than miserable in life and throughout your career. By becoming a happier person at work, you’re opening up more opportunities to become a better employee and earn more money.
