"Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm ... As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others." -- Audrey Hepburn

What Does Tom Hanks Say About Having Fun?
I say, "relax and enjoy yourself, treat people as your friends and just share with them your genuine excitement or interest in seeing them be more successful or fulfilled"
Network marketing takes you close to people. In fact, the people are the lifeline of this industry. Without us, these companies would have to shell out millions and millions of dollars just to get the name of their products out there. Without us talking to other people about the company and their products, they would be dead in the water against more established competitors.
So where does the fun part come in? We all know that the best way to get leads is to get out there and talk to people. We also know that starting a conversation with a witty quip is always better than saying something about the weather. Be sincerely interested in others by finding out their needs and listening...this is an honest and authentic approach that will create lifelong friends and referrals.
Remember to always have fun. I just love that about Tom Hanks. People that work with and for him always say what a nice guy he is and he himself says that he believes you can get as much or more done and have a quality result by having fun at the same time. Why do you think companies have trips that take the top people to events? They are not only to motivate you. These things are also reminders that even when you are working all the time to make your business bigger, you should also have some time to have fun. Balance on a daily, weekly and monthly basis is very important to growth. Personally, I suspect Tom Hanks likes to have fun on an hourly basis.
After you relax and have a good time with people that you are working with and for it only make you want to work harder and have more fun at the same time.

Yes, there is a room to have fun in any business. Do not be afraid to show your funny side when interacting with people. This is one of the reasons why many people are not sold on network marketing. People who are pitching their companies and products can be very serious and one-sided in their approach. The side is....their side....and it can be very intense.
