Internet Business Lesson #1: It’s About Your Happiness

Submitted by charlieaquino on Oct 26, 2009 – 6:00 pm3 Comments

happy-puzzle As promised in my earlier post we are starting an Internet Business Lesson Series here at Cajammed and the mechanics is described here.

We begin our first business lesson from a quote from Yaro Starak in his free ebook about "How to Start an Internet Business…and Make Your First $1,000 Online". This was an eye opening principle for me especially since I came from an employee background with ZERO business experience. And it goes like this…

In business your happiness must come before your profits!

I told you I came from an employee background where your boss often talks to you about the bottomline, about being more effective, more efficient, reduce costs, doing more with less. And all those blah blah they keep talking about in management meetings and cascading down to the staff.

I guarantee you it was NO FUN! Especially when you have to tell your staff to squeeze in more work in their already full schedules.

And I thought business was that way. It was finding the most profitable niches, getting the right keywords, setting up a system to automate tasks, getting more work done in less time, cutting costs.

I never thought of it as HAVING FUN! That you have to do it because you love it and not simply because it is profitable.

Part of me agrees with it but I often see people in business doing it simply for the profit and they still succeed. What do you think?

Is this a hard rule or a good place to start for us beginners? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

    hi charlie,

    i agree because it is very hard to do the business if you are not having fun doing it. happiness makes us stay in times of despair and it makes us patiently wait for the business to become profitable. at first it is plain work, work, work to grow our business but if we are happy doing it then, profit will follow as our business expands.

    Hi bro,
    On hindsight on all the successful people I have met I can sense when a person is passionate about what he does compared to one who isn’t. And I am more inclined to buy from the one who really knows his thing.

    OT: Sorry I was not able to contact you last Sunday as promised, I though it would be that easy to finalize my sked. I guess I was wrong. Will contact you as soon as I’m available.
