The Thing About Fun

I've made a point to add fun into my life over the past years and really stepped it up in 2018 with the purchase of a 1977 VW Camper Van and Skydiving. In 2019 I've added skiing with the family and gymnastics to the list to start the year off.

​The thing I've realized about fun is that it has nothing to do with the thing you are doing. It is all about the attitude you bring to that thing you are doing.

I was reminded of this during my first gymnastics course. The teacher, Alex, did a fantastic job at breaking the ice with all of us rigid adults. For the first warm up he had us put the top of our head on the lower portion of our partners back while holding their waist. Our partner then had to try and deke us out while trying to touch our knees as well. Before we knew it we were all laughing and having a great time.

There's nothing like getting to know somebody for the first time like putting your face right above their ass...

Fun is an important part of a successful business in my opinion. Business, just like life, has its challenges. When those challenges come, are you going to let them hinder your success and complain or propel you to the next level while having fun throughout the process?

As I like to tell my teams, "Not all situations are fun but fun can be brought into all situations."
