5 Business Building Rules to Live By
Do you wish you had a larger network of friends to find more business or a new job?
People often want easy relationships. They want easy and all they get are acquaintances.
We want instant respect from other people without putting in the effort to earn it. You’ve probably seen this on the car lot or in a department store. The sales person comes on bull force expecting you to accept every point that they make.
They don’t even ask one single question.
“How can I help you?”

Why You Should Start Your Own Business
I’ve talked a lot about developing your superpowers over these past few months. It’s because I believe we all have powers that we don’t use that could make a significant impact on other people.
It’s why I’m a big fan of starting a small business. Too often we get caught in a position within our careers that doesn’t allow us to optimize our superpowers. By starting your own business you can use the superpowers that you have been neglecting.

Enjoy Every Step of the Uphill Climb
Editor’s note: This is a guest post from Nicole Joy Leibman of Little Purple Cow
“There’s only going to be one first, one opening” I hear my mother say as she finishes preparing dinner. It had been about a year since I was let go from my job as an attorney, and decided to pursue my dream of starting my own business. I was at my parent’s house having my weekly existential crises – It’s so hard and lonely working for myself. Why isn’t anything happening yet? How long is it going to take to get this off the ground? Will my business even succeed? Will I be able to fund my business and my personal life?

Do the Work that Comes Easy
I had an awesome chat with Catherine Cain of Be Awesome Online. She woke up at 7am on a Sunday morning to talk to me. She was happy, funny, and questioning. That’s not easy to do after just rolling out of bed. She forced me dig deeper into my own business.
In our short conversation she helped me be more awesome online. She used her superpowers because she couldn’t help it. Really it was just supposed to be a conversation, but she couldn’t hold her superpowers back.
I’m not writing this post to gush about Catherine, even though she is amazing. I’m here to tell you about a really cool nugget of awesome that I got from our conversation.

Life Without Passion is No Life at All
Every now and again, I like to bring you interviews to give you a new perspective on work happiness. During my study of work happiness I have found that there are many paths to the same goal. Some people believe that loving what you do is a must, while other people believe that relationships are vital to enjoying the work that we do. Interviews are a great way to get out of your own perspective and see what other people are doing to develop their superpowers and live their passions.

What do you need?
I’ve been on a mission to make your business/career a happier place. So far so good, but now it’s time for me to put out some products to help you level up your superpowers. I’ve been working on a few ideas that I know will help you, but I don’t want to sell you something that you don’t want to buy.
So here is how this will work…
I created an online survey that will help me develop products that will help you become happier, more creative and successful in your business/career.
Please fill out the questionnaire and give me your feedback. We are on this journey together. The happier I help you become, the happier I become. It’s a win-win for both of us.
Thanks for being so awesome. I can’t thank you enough for everything that you do to support Work Happy Now.
