WHY HAPPINESS SHOULD BE YOUR BUSINESS MODEL

Laurence McCahill, The Happy Startup School @welovelean

“He had the wealthiest pockets, but the poorest soul. And in those last minutes of his life, he realised where he had failed.”

1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me 2. I wish I hadn’t worked so hard 3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings 4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends 5. I wish that I had let myself be happier

will come.” Richard Branson

Who do you work to impact?

“How can you make your life, and the lives of others, meaningfully better?”

“More of the economy needs to move further up Maslow’s pyramid” Alain De Botton

“If employees are treated right, they treat the outside world right, the outside world uses the company’s product again, and that makes the shareholders happy.“ Herb Kelleher

HAPPY PEOPLE ARE MORE PRODUCTIVE

HAPPY CUSTOMERS SPEND MORE

IF YOU CARE, THEY’LL CARE

“Culture eats strategy for breakfast” Peter Drucker

DEFINE WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

What will you do and bring to being in the next 1,000 days?

FIND YOUR HIGHER PURPOSE

“A business without a purpose is as useless as a compass without a needle.”

LIVE (DON’T LAMINATE) YOUR VALUES

“In the absence of values, all decisions go down to profits.”

WRITE YOUR COMPANY EPITAPH

We shall remember them. For they got us there Cheaply and quickly*
