Business and Money Tips

Many people think happiness comes from “getting.” Getting achievements, wealth, relationships, recognition. And yes, these things do give us a sense of happiness and accomplishment. But that kind of happiness is often temporary. Because anything built on the external world is impermanent. Where there is gain, there will be loss. Where there is life, there will be death. Where there is a peak, there will eventually be a decline. Deep down, all of us already know this. But there is a deeper level of happiness. A level not based on constant movement, not based on doing, and not based on becoming. Yet many people today, even spiritual seekers, are still chasing something. More growth. More enlightenment.

How to Be Happy Every day Every Time, Everywhere and with Everyone 1. Lower your expectations and requirements of others .    When I serve my customers and prospects, I do not expect anything from them other than to try my best to answer their questions and clear their doubts.   I often tell people to go back and consider again before they commit.  And when they are ready to buy, I ask them, 'Are you are going ahead?"  Some will be shocked and ask me why I ask this question.   My answer is, "I want you to be sure of wanting to purchase this out of your own will, not because of me or anything else because I want long-term recurring patronage from all my customers, at least for the next 3 months to a year.  2.

People, me included, think of me all the time.  There is a magazine called 'Me'.  The top-selling phone in many countries is called 'I-Phone'.  When AndyTheCoach gets criticized, you won't get upset, but when AndyTheCoach unintentionally says the same words of criticism to you, it becomes a big deal.  Our mind gets incredibly upset by anything that happens to us or is related to us. If our colleague is late for work, we think they must be sleeping late.  But when we ourselves are late, we have good reasons.   Whatever we do seems to be right and whatever others do seems not right.  We see the world through the narrow periscope of 'Me', 'I', 'My' and 'Mine'. There are over 7 billion people in the world yet we think we are the most important.  How to be happy anywhere anytime without spending a single cent?  Think less of yourself.   This self-centeredness causes us too much misery, by paying less attention to ourselves, we will ...

The desire to be happy is what drives us to whatever we do.  In fact, humans spend so much time in their waking moments everyday to be happy that makes us forget what are the things that make us happy.  For example, many people equate money to be happiness, when in fact money only makes us comfortable and not happy .  From coaching and training over 81,131 people in 12 countries since 1996, the following are the 5 conditions that make us happy: 1.  Hope for a better tomorrow Despite the generally accepted notion that the fulfilment of a wish brings happiness, I believe that a person who has hope can taste happiness before that hope becomes a reality.  For better or worse, the human being is always discontent with present reality.  It's okay to be discontented as long as you direct that discontentment into new hopes on a higher plane.  For example, if I am not happy with my Samsung Galaxy S4, I can direct my efforts to earning more money so that I...
