More Fun at Work

I have found myself posting quite often about having fun at work. I posted not to long about about Dennis Bakke's Joy at Work and also about an entrepreneur named Charlas Hagood about things to remember when running your business. Both of this men emphasised the fun and joy of working. I was reading the new issue of Inc. Magazine ( I got the one with Richard Branson on the cover) when I came accorss an article about Mike Veeck, a minor league baseball giant that bought six teams for around $2 milion and has built them to a $30 million dollar business. What does he base his company on? His business mantra is FUN IS GOOD. Mike Veeck says that "fun is a basic human need, the oxygen" that has helped him grow his company. He says that he has never been around customers or employees that have been as loyal and hardworking as the ones that are a part of his baseball business. People want to be a part of this business and they love being there each day. I have been focusins alot on fun at work because I think it is important to enjoy life. It seems to fly in the face of old corporate thought but there are to many stores of successful fun. Who says work cannot be fun? If you ask these three men, I think they will have passionate answer for this absurd question. --be bold
