FF172: Fun And Authenticity In Business with Rod Bourn

Focus & Freedom for Entrepreneurs

Rod is the founder and Lead Ninja of Down, Set, Lead and helps organizations grow their business and people through coaching, training and mentoring. Rod and I have a fun conversation about ‘Having Fun’ and ‘Being Authentic.’ People love authenticity and that’s what draws them to you.

Highlights From This Episode:

• If you're happy you're going to be healthier, and if you're healthier, you're going to be happier
• Rod will send you his new book (a gift) if you give him an answer that makes him laugh to his joke … ‘How many guys in kilts does it take to put in a light bulb?
• You have to be intentional about making your life fun.
• People love authenticity and are drawn to you. You make them feel more confident in themselves and you are more comfortable yourself.
• We need that human connection and people telling us that we're okay.
• How often do the businesspeople say Thank you. I appreciate you coming in.

Rod challenged us, 3 times a day, for the rest of this week, make sure that you say, Thank you, I appreciate you, to whoever you sincerely want to thank and appreciate.
