Hate your job? Dread going to work every day? If so, you’re not having fun.

Do you have fun in life and in your work? I do, every… single… day. I make “fun” a priority. Look at the projects I work on (AwesomeMillion.com, BigBrownBox.com, TwitterMeThis.com, to name a few). Most of them are built around fun first. It’s by design, believe me. Life is too short to work on stuff that isn’t fun.

YOU CAN DO IT! YOU CAN HAVE FUN AND EARN A LIVING IF DONE RIGHT! Right now, get a piece of paper and write down what would be fun to do every day. Then the plan is to figure out how to do it.

It can be done. I’m doing it. I start every project with fun as the first factor. You should try it. Watch the video below for some inspiration. Want to share you video about your fun project? Send it over to me, or leave a comment below.

  • We have bin keeping it fun at Zug.com since 1995. Comedy is still king!

    Keep on sharing a laugh by having fun.
  • I will be soon. My own projects have always been about fun. I will shortly be starting a job doing what I love too. Which will also benefit my other projects!

  • Jim, great point about passion vs. fun. The word passion is so overused anymore it doesn't even mean anything to most people. But fun will always mean FUN.

    Nice video - are you using a tripod with your Flip Ultra?
  • Hey Tom, go for it!

    @remarkablogger. I know, you're right. I have to stop saying passion as well and just stick with fun.

    @doc, you talkin' to me? :)

    @Tony K, yeah, I have a little flip tripod and I put the whole thing on top of some glass block to make it eye level. Get on at www.buytheflip.com
  • In order to be able to have fun, I believe we should pick the job that suit with our preferences to begin with. We can't and shouldn't lie to ourselves about the things we like and don't like about the job. One should explore her own values about the job so she can find her fun life at work.
