In all areas of life, a quick wit, a hearty laugh, a smile and a warm sense of humor are appreciated. To be a good joke teller, tell jokes often. Practice. Model your delivery after comedians you admire and funny friends. Start a joke file.

Always be absolutely sure that your material is clean and non-offensive. Stick to a universally funny subject – you. Most of the best humor is self-deprecating. That is, you have to learn to laugh at yourself. On your road to success, there will be many stumbles and fumbles, pro­viding many opportunities for you to turn the unexpect­ed into stress-reducing laughter. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Laugh about it. Be affable. Humor will add to your attractiveness.

Business is serious. You need to make money to pay your bills and for investment. If you have employees, you are obligated to stay financially solvent for them as well as yourself.

What’s funny about this? Probably a lot.

You will experience weird customer requests, orders that are completely bungled and misinterpreted direc­tions. There are times when all you can do is throw your hands up in the air and have a good laugh. And, some­times good humor is the best method for getting every­one back on track. It’s great when the boss knows how to take a joke on himself.

Together as a team, you work very hard to get an important job done. When you are finished, you exhale in relief, let the tension go, feel good and you want to laugh. This is the basis of camaraderie. Everybody should go for a meal together to celebrate.

There are times to be serious and there are times when you can lighten up. Let’s not fool around here. Well, maybe just a little.
