FOOD FOR THOUGHT: BY ROSLYN ROZBRUCH ABOVE ALL, HAVE FUN
Whoever said, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me” was a liar. Words are powerful. I think we all know how negative words can have an adverse impact on your business, even something like a bad Yelp review. Words can also bring out the best in us. In a previous Food for Thought column, I
wrote an article titled, “Three Words to Change Your Life for the Better,” where I talked about picking three words that describe the person you want to be and starting your day by saying them. I love using words to motivate and inspire me. Every morning, before I say my three words (I am focused, disciplined, and confident), I receive an email with an inspiring quote from a site called About Meditation, and it’s a great way to start my day. But besides setting my intention for the day with words, I am lucky to be surrounded by positive words at work. Last year, Michael and I were given a culture wall as a gift from our mastermind coaches, Joe Polish and Dean Graziosi. Gapingvoid is the company that created our culture wall. Their philosophy is “People become the ideas that surround them.” More specifically, they believe that art combined with messages can have a positive impact that will affect real change in the people in your office. The artwork and messages in our office were formed from Michael’s and my beliefs about our business, the people who work for us, and most importantly, our beliefs about our members and clients. We filled out a form answering a series of questions and worked with someone who then created our culture wall — and I love it!
If you look at the picture on this page, you can see our wall with our pictures and messages, and if you look closely, you will see how important our members are to us! Michael and I aren’t the only people with these beliefs. We want our team to share that same attitude, as well. Of the 10 pictures, I do have a favorite — the one that captures the essence of who I am. Anyone who knows me knows I’m all about having fun. Having a good time is a main philosophy in my life. No matter what I’m doing, I’m always thinking in the back of my mind, “How can I have fun with that?” In the front of my mind, I’m always thinking of what I can do that’s fun, when I can do it, and who I can do it with. So, my favorite picture is the last one: “Above All, Have Fun.” Now that tax season is over, I hope you are making time to have some fun. And if you want to have fun while learning, you should definitely come to our third annual Success Summit in August!
