The Internet has added a whole new

lease of life to business ventures all

over the world, and not just with the

creation of online shopping and e-mail.

The Internet also made it possible for small companies

to be created by individuals, or very small teams, that

made a major impact on the world of online business.

Google

Ebay

Paypal

Hostgator

The list goes on and on, but these were all small

Internet ventures that became massive in the space of

a few short years.

 The Internet also added the

aspect of these companies

being run by young people who

wanted to do away with the

idea of having a workplace that

was dry, stuffy and boring.

They didn't want mahogany

desks, cigars and boardrooms

where they roared orders at

people.

Instead they wanted fun environments

where people were encouraged to be

creative - because when people are

having fun when they work, amazing

things can happen. But how do you add

fun to an Internet-based business?

There is one

simple rule to remember:

"Work made fun gets done"

This is the core principle of a book

called Fish!

It is based on the very real business of the

Pike Place market in Seattle.

These guys figured out a way to not only

make working in a fish market fun (yes,

despite the smell and the mess and the

cold), but they attracted audiences to watch

them working each day. They enjoyed their

jobs so much that other people came to

watch them work and even join in!

Be There

This simply means that when you're in work

or working with another person, be

emotionally present - listen to what people

are really saying to you and focus on what

you're doing.

So how does Fish! work?

There are 7 basic principles.

Here are some of them:

Play

In the same way that a child's perspective on

the world can teach us huge life lessons, you

also need an atmosphere in the workplace

where fun and playing is not only acceptable

but is encouraged. 

Make Their Day

Contribute to your co-workers' projects and to

your customers' businesses in a really meaningful

way.

Go that extra step that makes you exceptional.

Make Their Day

Vas Blagodarskiy, an entrepreneur from

Maryland, recently asked a waiter at a

restaurant, “How are you?”

He smiled ear to ear, and said that he

was the first one in a week to ask that.

Little things make a huge difference.

Every smile counts!

Choose Your Attitude

When you work you can choose to be pissed off the

whole time or you can choose to enjoy what you do.

You also need to be aware of how your attitude

affects everyone else around you.

You can choose your attitude each day

before you start work.

Does Fish! work?

All you need to check are the thousands

of testimonials out there that swear to

the effectiveness of these kinds of simple

principles - when you actually put them

to work, that is!
