So much so that hustle will become a thing of the past! Plus, having made unique connections around the world through my travels, I interview inspiring an ...

In his book At Work in the Ruins, Dougald Hine asks a question about the climate crisis: how did we find ourselves in this trou…

When people join the Happy Startup School’s Vision 20/20 program and talk about what they want to do, one phrase pops up again and again: “I just want to be paid for being me.” But it’s not always easy to get to this point. Sometimes it takes a circuitous route, as we get more and more used to showing up as our full selves and discovering what it i…

Whether it's problem-solving an issue, coming up with a new product, or making a mark on the world, our personal vision of success often needs new ideas. But what if you’re stuck in a rut? What if the usual ways of “shaking the snow globe” just won’t cut it any more? What if the way forward isn't the state of our business plan but the state of our …

Forget thinking about business in terms of B2B or B2C – It’s time to think H2H; human to human. As much as lawyers and accountants will tell you that businesses are independent legal entities, in the end, they’re a bunch of humans working together for some reason or other. Too many solopreneurs and founders hide behind the idea of being a “big busi…

To do this can mean simplif…

On our previous episode, Laurence and Carlos spoke with John Parkin about big ideas: what they are; where they come from and how to spot them.

When Laurence started out in business, he was a company of one. For 5 years he found his own clients, did sales and marketing, managed his finances. It didn’t even occur to him to ask for help. Then one day he realised it wasn’t much fun anymore, and he could only go so far with his own skillset. Thankfully a project came in that meant he had to as…

What if you were unapologetically you? What impact would that have on your work, life and relationships? Unfortunately, too many of us aren’t prepared to bring our whole selves to work… or even life. We either create a mask or hold back on what’s really wanting to be seen. When we’re not prepared to show our full selves, it means we may not allow o…

The master storyteller. One of the most valuable things we’ve learned from him is about stories of change and how stories can motivate our own action and mobilise others.

At Summercamp 2020, coach David Papa gave a personal, entertaining and vulnerable talk about how to be scared. He believes that the only thing that can stop you living the life you love is not the fear, it’s believing the fear. Fear is just a thought and a sensation in the body. But when you add belief to it, then it’s energy that controls your lif…

When Ayse Birsel gave her talk at our Happy Startup Summercamp she was shocked that she only had 20 minutes to speak. Not only that, we told her that she should be sharing stories and not lessons. Ironically her talk is about lessons; lessons she’s learned from doing extensive research about older people and their attitude to life. She compiled the…

"When you’re writing something about your business. Anything. If it could be used – intact and just as coherently – by any of your competitors. It’s not good enough.

When Carlos was a teenager, he never thought he could be an entrepreneur. He had very specific beliefs around what it mean to be an entrepreneur or businessman – the entrepreneur type was loud, flamboyant and risk taking. The businessman type was sober, stern and hard-nosed. He didn’t identify with either of those types. These days, though, we’ve b…
