How Happiness Influences Profit
In your business, which do you think comes first--happiness or profit? We've been brought up in our culture to believe the HAVE-DO-BE model of living and working.
When we HAVE a great relationship, the ideal body, plenty of money, time, or energy, or a profitable business, then we can DO what we want, and then we will BE HAPPY! Have you figured out yet that this isn't the way it works? When I studied to be a coach, I was introduced to the BE-DO-HAVE model.
In this way of living, we focus first on BEING ourselves sharing our unique talents and gifts, then we can DO what we came here to do (or live our life on purpose), and then we will HAVE a meaningful fulfilling life we love! Thanks to Eileen Gold, a gifted Heartmath facilitator, I learned about The Happiness Advantage, a book written by Shawn Achor, a Harvard student and now professor and researcher.
(You can find a humorous entertaining video by Shawn on Tedx) I love what Shawn's research has proven about happiness: Happiness...

Practice gratitude as many times a day as you can.
You can train your brain to be happy.
It's like training the muscles in your body.
