212: Help! I've forgotten how to have fun!

Has your life and business beat the fun out of you? This week, Bill and I discuss something deeply embedded within us after learning from hard life experience that having fun outside of business drives results inside business. No matter what life or business throws at you, you’ve got to do it. After my wife died from cancer in the mid-2000s, I was in no mood for fun. I worked. I worked out. That was about it. But I needed to have more fun. That fact came into focus when a friend of mine asked me what I do for fun. I told her about working out. She said that wasn’t fun. True. Rewarding, yes. But not fun. So I dug deeper, and came up empty. Then she gave me advice I’ve never forgotten: “Until you get some fun in your life, nothing else is going to work.” In this episode, we share the secrets of having more fun when business and life has made you forget how to have fun and made you feel old, boring and bored with life. Specifically, we share a kind of list you can make that will drive you to be a fun, youthful, energetic person despite what life might throw at you.
