- Great event! A chance to renew some previous acquaintences and to meet some dynomite new ones. I never fail to leave any BW4W activities without some solid information, or potential business in the pipeline. Thank you BW4W!
Want to make more money? Play more!
When you think about going to a workshop on productivity, the first things that come to mind usually are not: clap, wiggle, jump. But, that’s exactly what happened at the women entrepreneurs did at the BW4W workshop last Saturday.
Our speaker, Melanie Smithson, showed our ladies how to Play More to Earn More. In addition to sharing some things we never thought about before, such as:
- Goal Boards can be counter-productive, because they keep you in a state of wanting, or lack
- Working harder doesn’t make you more productive or profitable
- You need to play, so your brain and body can function better
So, where does clap, wiggle, jump fit into all of this? She got us all on our feet for a very fun and challenging exercise.
Pair off with a friend and see how it goes:
- Count off between yourselves, 1, 2, 3, taking turns on each number. 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, and so on.
- Replace #1 with a clap, 2, 3, clap 2, 3
- Now Replace #2 with a wiggle, so it’s Clap, Wiggle, 3, Clap, Wiggle, 3
- Finally, Replace #3 with a hop, so it’s Clap, Wiggle, Hop, Clap, Wiggle Hop.
- If you’re not energized and laughing by the end of this, you aren’t playing hard enough!
Melanie also had us playing with stuffed animals, tossing one, and then a dozen, back and forth. Not at all what you’d expect at a workshop, but it really got our creative juices flowing!
You may not be in the mood to clap, wiggle, jump, or toss stuffed animals, but if you find a way to add more play to your day, you can, as Melanie says, “Play More, AND Earn More!”
