The subject of happiness came up three times for me yesterday. When I was reviewing the case I taught in my MBA class last night, there was a mention of a happiness workshop. Later in the day I participated in a webinar lead by one of my CareerHMO coaching colleagues — the topic was happiness. Right before class I was on LinkedIn and the following article on happiness popped up.
So I figured I needed to blog about happiness. Let’s begin with the article…

I like all seven pieces of advice in the article but I particularly like number 5 — Give.
Helping other people always makes me feel happy, and good about myself. I enjoy doing small things for others. I expect nothing in return, because in my opinion, coming from a quid quo pro perspective isn’t really giving. It’s bartering.
My career membership site is one way I give. I set it up to help young professionals create successful and fulfilling lives and careers. It’s free because I want to help as many people as I can to create the life and career success they deserve. And, it makes me happy. You can join for free at www.BudBilanich.com/join.
To sum up — if you want to be happy become a giver. Do what you can for others. Expect nothing in return. Your reward will be your happiness — which in turn will lead to your life and career success.
Your career mentor,
Bud
