Franziska Iseli Hall: Hi, and welcome to today‘s tip.
Christo Hall: Hi!
Franziska Iseli Hall: Which is all about having more fun in your business and we get this question quite a lot. So, a lot of people say, “Hey, how can I have more fun… Because after all we went in to business to have fun and to make money.” And just recently, someone said to me, “You know, you guys really know how to have fun and still be very professional.” So we want to share today with you, share 5 things that they can do to have more fun.
Christo Hall: Sounds good.
Franziska Iseli Hall: Sounds good doesn’t it?
Christo Hall: Let’s hear it then.
Franziska Iseli Hall: Number 1 is going to a playground and do a run, no that’s not true. Number 1 is celebrate special things… So when you have something special, you’ve achieved something, celebrate it and reward yourself and also your team.
Christo Hall: Yes, very good. Number 2 is have fun days in the office. Have fun days at work- even you might have fun day Friday or fun things, you can theme days or you can have fun days with your clients as well. What do we have at number 3?
Franziska Iseli Hall: Number 3 is organize social activities. So, what you could do is; you could take your clients to lunch or you could take your team members to lunch, so, just organizing something social and that goes together with number 4. And number 4 is to have open communication, and what you want to do is, you want to have open communication in your business. You might have a team member or not, even if you’re working alone, have open communication with your clients and that’s really important; the more you’re real, honest, authentic, the more you will have deeper relationships…. and you will start to really love your clients, because your deeper relationships, the more fun you will have with your clients. And being real will add to doing that.
Christo Hall: And being real is a very powerful marketing tool in itself, more and more people are looking for real people that they can connect with themselves.
Franziska Iseli Hall: What is number 5?
Christo Hall: Number 5 is to do the things that you love doing. If you’re doing things in your business that you don’t enjoy- outsource them, so give them to someone else to do, outsource. There’s plenty of ways to outsource nowadays. So, do the things that you enjoy doing and do them so you’re having fun…. You’re the one who drives the business and you have to be having fun. If you’re working even with people or clients that you don’t enjoy working with maybe you want to reconsider continuing working with them as well. So do the things that you enjoy doing. Of course, it can’t just be one for a lone party but you do want to be doing the things that you enjoy. If there are things that are holding you up because you don’t enjoy doing them, then outsource or get rid of it.
Franziska Iseli Hall: And now is the best time to do that. And, you know, this has a lot to do with marketing because the more fun you have and the more excited you are about working and your team, if you have a team, the more you will attract the right clients. And the more clients will want to work with you because if you’re having fun and you’re being real and authentic, people will want to work with you and you know that everything you do is marketing- even when you’re not marketing, you’re marketing.
