10 Steps to Happiness Today
In Lead With Your Heart, we measure success with a happiness stick: What has your business done or what is it doing to make your customers, employees and communities happy by making lives and the planet better? In today's post, I offer 10 easy steps that you can take today in your life and in your business to make yourself and others happier. Please add your own. I encourage you to share these and your ideas with others:
Business Life
- Pick up the phone, call a customer and thank them for their business. Let them know how much you care about their business.
- Take a fellow worker out to lunch.
- Volunteer to take on a new challenge and do all you can to create a huge success.
- Reward a good worker by giving them the afternoon off.
- Use social media to share information others can use to better their business or their life.
Personal Life
- Hug yourself and say I love you.
- Surprise a family member or a friend with a gift not tied to an occasion.
- Don't worry about things that you have no control over.
- Smile and say hi to strangers you pass.
- Mentor a student.
Bonus Tip
- Forgive someone's mistake, error in judgment or hurtful action.
To spread happiness and to get others to think about it and to share happiness with others, I am tagging the following people who lead with their heart. Please be a leader of this grassroots move focused on happiness and leading with your heart. Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to write one post about happiness--what it means to you, your customers or your fellow workers in the context of business or to recommend a way or two people can be happier in their own lives. In either place--business or personal-- how can we together make the world a better place to live and or work, while growing prosperity in however you choose to define prosperous?
