If you create military equipment, you need war or at least violent unrest to grow your business. If you are in the business of problem solving, you need to attract more problems into your world.
What are your own core values and will the mission and the success of your business promote these values?
I find that it’s important for each of us to create an environment where we can tap into our ideas. Yet, the art of business (and life) is more about tapping into our intuitive knowing of which ideas we actually pursue. Yes, and pursue them regardless of what other people and the marketplace thinks. We live in a world that reinforces our need for approval and for constant seeking of external gauges of what works and what doesn’t. The only gauge to listen to in making decisions is your gut.
Let your mind gather all the data, but let your gut be your guide.
This is what Seth Godin has to say about it:
“Do you go with your instinct? Is your gut reaction to be trusted? After all, you’ve been right before. After all, you’ve been wrong before.
The analysis, based on past events, certainly seems sound. But your instincts are the only way you’re going to do something unsound.
And unsound things become hits. Sound ones never do.
Who Moved My Cheese was unsound. So was publishing a book two years after you started blogging every chapter. So was an expensive, unfitted, almost untailored suit from Milan. So was running against Joe Lieberman.
The challenge is not to somehow persuade those in search of soundness to change their minds. The challenge is to do enough of a gut check to decide whether you should defend your instinct. And then do it.”

I am generally a fun person to hang out with. Wait, perhaps the debate is still out on that.
In any case, when I create my products and my marketing, I simply block that part of my personality from entering the picture. I fall into the paradigm – I do serious work. I work with clients to help them create more prosperity in their lives. Enough $ — Enough Energy — Enough Time. That’s serious business. The reality is that I produce better work when I am having fun. My clients are more inspired when they are having fun. My services sell better when they seem approachable and not so serious.
I wanted to thank Kathy for her amazing post and this brilliant reminder.
“Brains like play, because play is important to survival. But how does the brain know that play is happening? The chemistry associated with having fun. If something is enjoyable, that registers in the brain, and the brain rewards us with reinforcing feelings and–more importantly–attention and memory! All things being equal, fun things are more memorable than things which are not enjoyable.”
The more fun something is, the more likely you are to keep doing it.

I’ve discovered a powerfully inspirational film site: Monday 9 a.m. – that explores humanity, creativity and the questions that arise our of living and creating.
This week features a film about Dominic Miller, Sting’s guitarist.
