Day 73: On Having Fun

Fun is at the core of the way I like to do business and it has been key to

everything I’ve done from the outset. More than any other element, fun is

the secret of Virgin’s success. I am aware that the idea of business as being

fun  and  creative  goes  right  against  the  grain  of  convention,  and  it’s

certainly  not  how  they  teach  it  at  some  of  those  business  schools,  where

business  means  hard  grind  and  lots  of  “discounted  cash  flows”  and  “net

present values”.

—Richard Branson

Building self-discipline and working on your long-term goals doesn’t

have to be a chore. In fact, if it is, you’ll have a hard time reaching success

because  if  something  bores  you  to  tears  or  doesn’t  produce  much

excitement, it’s difficult to stick to it in the long term.

Probably the most common area in which I see most people struggling

because of lack of fun is exercise. If you succumb to the popular notion that

exercise  has  to  be  repetitive,  painful,  and  boring,  guess  what…  A  few

weeks  from  now,  you’ll  be  back  in  front  of  your  TV,  wondering  what

motivated you to do such a stupid thing as attending those torturous fitness

classes.


The only way to develop a permanent habit of regular physical activity

is to find an exercise you enjoy. Without the fun factor, exercise will always

feel like a chore, and you probably already have enough obligations in your

life.


The same applies to virtually any other endeavor. I treat my business

seriously, but at the same time I’m trying to make it a bit more fun, either

by throwing in a joke here and there while writing a book, coming up with a

fun writing challenge, or testing new exciting ideas.

Do  you  consider  working  on  your  goals  enjoyable  and  fun  or  is  it

mostly a chore? If it’s the latter, time to grab a notepad and make a list of

things you can do to introduce more fun and excitement.
