People are dropping like flies trying to succeed, get rich or just stay in business. Hypertension, high blood pressure and other stress related illnesses plague more entreprenuers than ever before, (including Internet Marketers.

One of the problems is not enough people take time to laugh. "Laughter is the best medicine" is not only an age old saying, it's a medical fact. <==

It's said the person who has at least one hard laugh a day lives up to 10 years longer than the person who doesn't.

So, on your road to success, make sure you take the time to have one good hard laugh.

    Seriously. What fun is there in business if there're no smiles or laughter involved?

    You're right about that. It reminds me of famous phrase ...

    until I saw the person with no feet!"

    It definitely helps to laugh at yourself. No matter how stressful your situation may be, the healthiest thing to do is to step out of it and look at how silly you are. The stressors that you suffer from now will matter little if at all in five to ten years, so stepping back and chuckling at your own angst or ineptitude really puts things in perspective. By not taking yourself too seriously, you can seriously live a better life.

    It may even help to incorporate humor into business models. Everyone wants to laugh at any given moment, but people are just too serious sometimes..

      That's a good point, but it often takes a special skill to pull it off when marketing a product. It's not always as easy as it looks. How often have you seen a humorous ad but missed what the product was or how it could benefit you?

        I'm a laugher (well maybe a chuckler) and I've lived 10 years beyond my original life expectancy already.

        Hmmm! Does that mean the end is near?

          I think the key their to keep laughing (or at least smiling). That's the closest thing to the Fountain of Youth their is, in my opinion. Chuckles are the sounds of life extentions.

    Laughter works all the time... Be sure to add some element of fun in everything you do especially in your business... Without fun, you could easily wear out and give up... Fun really helps the spirit, it's like refreshment...

    I totally agree about this. If you're stressful or depressed enough every single day, you need something to make you laugh. It's the best medicine you've got to continue being active and happy in your business.
