Business to Happiness 0 of 9: Intro and Thanks

I’m going to try to post one of these a day for 10 days.  What follows are the things I try to keep in mind as I go through this adventure, trying to build happiness.  They have been gleaned from personal experience, the stories I’ve heard first hand, books I’ve read.  Unfortunately, I have not done a very good job of remembering what came from where.  Some of this is probably a rehash of things other people said better.  Some of you might read something you told me.

One book I would definitely recommend is “Getting to Yes” by Fischer and Ury.  Quick read and on point.

I want to give a special thanks to Roy, without whose wisdom, example and guidance I never would have gotten started and Ray for many years of mentorship and friendship.

Also I want to acknowledge all the people close to me who have started their own companies, businesses and non-profits. You know who you are; tag yourself if you want others to know: Roy and Jim, Ray and Nick, Chris and Mark, Paul, Leila, Chris N., Anne, Frederick, Jen and Tom, Viki and Lee, Naysan, Charlie and Alan, Don … I’m sure I’m forgetting someone important. Apologies in advance.
