Quickie Happiness Workshop

Quickie Happiness Workshop for Increasing Profits at Times of Seeming Peril:

Think as much, if not more, about growing your income as you do of trimming your expenses.

And for extra credit focus on customers more than vendors; smiles more than frowns; possibilities more than risks; options more than commitments; vacations more than overtime; detours more than setbacks; opportunities more than obstacles; and Goldilocks more than the bears.

More workshop details

Customers more than vendors: Every customer can bring you more business, using social media to extol your virtues or rant about their bad experience. Everyone who comes into your business can and will talk about you to their friends, who may become customers. Treat them as you want to be treated, with respect and care.

Options more than commitments: Everyday options are presented to us by the Universe, but we may be closed to the bounty that is out there because we narrowly and mistakenly only focus on our commitments. Commitments are options that have been acted on, and for every commitment we have, we should cultivate two options to consider.

Vacations more than overtime: On vacation, we have a chance to recharge our battery and become open to new ideas. When we work overtime, we draw on our energy and deplete ourselves and become prone to the idea that work is all we have. Work should only be a small part of our life. If we are doing what we love, we are not working and if we are not doing what we love, we need to go on vacation to find our dream and chase it.

Detours more than setbacks: Every detour is a wonderful opportunity to explore a new path and find excitement and joy in your world. A setback is another opportunity to rediscover your path and to create a new adventure.

Opportunities more than perils: Examine the perils you expect, you may find they are a creation of your own imagination or of your own limited view of life. All perils are opportunities in waiting if you approach them with an open and creative mindset.

Goldilocks more than the bears: She was adventurous and willing to try new things; the bears were set in their ways and were not willing to try new things. Be Goldilocks, not the bears.
