How you can create playful success in your biz today!

In his book, Free Play, Stephen Nachmanovitch writes about the joy of playing. He describes play as a state of mind where we focus on the process – the sheer joy of play, and not the end result.

He encourages us to recognize that the act of play in and of itself is the destination. When we play we have nothing to gain and nothing to lose because we have no expectations.

As the leader of my business before I began my workday I say out loud, “I’m setting the intention to play, have fun and be creative in my business today.” I trust that work can be a fun process. I set the intention to notice when my work isn’t fun and then to ask myself in the moment how I can change what I’m doing to make it more fun and playful.

It’s been a lot more fulfilling, and results have been occurring with greater ease. I feel like a modern day alchemist who once had a stack of straw that has now been turned into a pile of gold.

As a leader in your business, set the intention to play, have fun and be creative in your work today and see if it doesn’t make a difference for you and your team.

Here’s to you making an extraordinary impact in your business!
