Happiness & Business
“The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation
but your thoughts about it.”
– Eckhart Tolle (Author of The Power Of Now and A New Earth)
Increasingly in my role in helping people achieve more in the
professional and personal lives, the role of the mind and how
you use it is really THE thing.
Previously in business, if you started talking about this area
you’d see the eyes glaze over…
But that has changed dramatically in my work over the
past few years – The area of the mind and the impact it
has on your state is the foundational area not only
to achievement but in particular to happiness.
Your state of mind impacts on your productivity, communication,
clarity, problem-solving ability and energy…to name a few.
Everyone wants more happiness but there’s a lot of
confusion around what causes it.
The above quote is worth meditating on for a week, because most
people think their happiness is all about a situation.

available today from the economist David McWilliams.
In it he references the decision by Billy Walsh to leave the Irish Boxing team.
Billy is the man responsible for the transformation of the Irish Boxing team into one
of the most successful sports team in the world.
Whether you’re into boxing doesn’t really matter – it’s the story behind
an amazing transformation that will be of interest to anyone.
Over the past 10 years, this team from a small country have won a huge amount of
medals across major competitions – 57 gold medals, 49 silver medals and
