I was raised with a strong work ethic, and I came to understand that work often had an under taste of unpleasantness about it. Fun was something nice, yes, but it didn’t have much of a place when or where there was work to be done.

This is the stance I brought to my corporate career, before I left my job in marketing, and, it was also what I brought to start my own business. Sometimes it's all too easy to catch yourself seeing this business building thing as something you need to slog through. Fortunately, I've learned to do things a little differently.

Every time I find myself at a bit of an impasse, I try to look around and ask: where or how can I bring in more fun? And every time I do that, every time, something good comes out of it.

I want this for you too.
