The Fun Formula – How Curiosity Risk-Taking And Serendipity Can Revolutionize How You Work

The Digital Slice Podcast is brought to you by The Friedman Group, LLC

What is success? Is it having a lot of money, fancy cars, and living a lavish lifestyle? Success means different things to different people. But, fulfillment is the same for everyone.

Fulfillment is being able to achieve the goals you have set for yourself based on your unique interests and circumstances. However, some people can end up in the wrong profession, job, or business because they followed what others wanted them to be.

The result is unhappiness, emptiness, and even life-threatening depression. Thankfully, there is “The Fun Formula” urging you to pursue your passions and fulfill your destiny. Realizing that when you are doing what you really want, you feel happy and satisfied. Work isn’t work anymore because you are having so much fun. In this episode of BRADS LIVE, discover “The Fun Formula” and see how it is much more than just a book.

In this Episode:

• How Joel discovered after 23 years of doing business that the hustle and grind practice only lead to more failures than success
