Have Fun at Work

By
Mortgage and Lending with Mortgage Magic

Fun at work can pay you money. Actually fun everywhere can make your life more enjoyable. but at work it can be the difference between success and mediocrity. Fun is play, pleasure, gaiety, merriment, and a source of enjoyment .Fun creates positive emotions.  A significant portion of TV commercials incorporate smiling and laughter, often used to evoke positive emotions and create a lighthearted or relatable atmosphere.

Once I was playing racquetball  and completely forgot about a customer appointment. I got a call from the office and was told...'so and so is here and she is mad"...The racquetball court was only a block from my office. I said I would shower and change and be right there. Traveling to the office I told myself I have got to make her laugh. I had never met the customer but kept thinking, "I need to make her laugh'. I don't know what I said or all of the details but 
I did make her laugh. We not only closed her transactions but she became a loyal client and referred me many clients over the years. 

The only way to start having fun and success at the office and everywhere determine to have fun. Your Mind will led you to the best way for you. Below is a video I did in our office with one of our excellent loan officers. Think she is having fun?

Doug, your emphasis on having fun at work is a refreshing and valuable perspective. Your anecdote about the racquetball incident and turning a potentially negative situation into a positive one is a great example of the power of humor and positive energy. Including a video of your loan officer having fun further illustrates your point. It's clear that fostering a joyful atmosphere can lead to both personal and professional success.

There were a few years that I forgot to relate fun to work. I am glad for me that it has come back and it has become important for me to share.
