Does your energy get sucked when you do certain administrative tasks in your business? Do you love some tasks and dread others? What if it could be fun? Do you believe it could? Well, after listening to this episode you just might! And what would you gain? You’ll feel more energized, you’ll be more creative, and you’ll end up being more productive while also attracting more ideal people to your business. In this episode of the I Love Neuro podcast, hosts Erin Gallardo and Claire McLean chat with business coach Emily Duval Ledger about the transformative power of infusing fun into your business operations.
The discussion begins with Emily sharing how a simple suggestion from Erin - to make administrative tasks more fun - completely changed her perspective. Erin explains how she learned the importance of fun in business, even though it wasn't a priority growing up. The trio then dive into specific examples of how they've incorporated fun into their own businesses.
Emily shares how she revamped her book writing process by recording audio notes while exercising, rather than the tedious typing that drained her creativity. The group also explores the potential of AI to automate mundane tasks in an engaging way, like using chatbots customized to a company's unique voice.
Claire and Erin emphasize that they built NeuroCollaborative and Claire built Rogue around the principle of fun from the start, whether that's through themed events, spontaneous dance parties, or flexible scheduling. They explain how aligning your business model with your personal interests and passions is key to maintaining that sense of enjoyment.
The conversation touches on the physiological benefits of incorporating play and fun and ideas for how clinicians can encourage patients to make mobility transitions more fun. By making work more enjoyable, you can reduce stress, boost productivity, and find greater fulfillment in your entrepreneurial journey, so why not try it yourself?.
