Simple Happiness

After 20+ years as a ‘C’ Suite executive, & 10+ as a business advisor & coach it amazes me how many folks fall for the BS of ‘work-life balance’ & blame their lack of happiness on a lack of it.

Happiness is not a place you get to & live in thereafter. Instead, it is one reward for engaging in life & embracing the good, the bad, the ugly & the sublime.

There is only life & where you choose to focus your energies at any one time. What we do at work affects our non-work lives & vice versa. You need work/life integration, not balance.

I tend to get called in when people’s businesses are in trouble when what they are doing no longer works or things aren’t going as they should despite their best efforts. When they’re tired, frustrated, burning out & living that profitable life seems increasingly unlikely.

So we deal with the bottom line, with the goals, systems, tools, tactics & tips needed to scale & grow – then we focus on what is needed for them to start living a better life; a more profitable one because profit is about more than dollars (but we need to get them sorted first: $s = Choice, more $$$s = ++ Choice)

To support your integration of work/life they do this:

Pause. Take a breath. Figure out what you want. Make a plan to get it, and implement the plan. Eat better. Drink less. Sleep more. Set some decent goals. Start moving. Don’t stop. Rinse & repeat as often as needed.

How about you? Happy? Want some help? Let me know.
