Tony Hsieh (pronounced Shay) is a brilliant young entrepreneur who gets the meaning of life. Life is not about slaving yourself away for the almighty dollar. Life is about finding joy and happiness in all that you do, letting money flow as a side effect. This guy turned the daily grunge paradigm upside down and inside out at his company, Zappos. His free-thinking mindset turned his company's workspace into a playground. Happy employees are healthier, more alert and .... guess what? MORE PRODUCTIVE! Healthy = Wealthy. Health means more than simply being able to exist for 80 years behind a desk. How can one be truly healthy if one is not happy? Just imagine if all workplaces were like this! What if this was the norm? What if we were ALL happy? How much more could we accomplish? If you are a business owner.... how much could your business grow and expand if you stopped working so hard on the bottom line and started focusing on quality and productivity? -The TOP line? Trees grow from the top, building on solid foundation below. If your business has a solid foundation, stop stressing over the "bottom" line. It will take care of itself as long as your branches (products or services) and leaves (employees) are growing and healthy. Happiness is Green! Happiness makes more money-green, yes. But that's not the kind of green I am talking about. Happiness sustains your employees. What if you hire someone who will work for you forever because they are perfectly happy? Happiness goes hand in hand with a green sustainable workplace. Be green! Create a Happy working environment!
