<p>&#8220;Business or pleasure?,&#8221; said the guy who was sitting beside me on a recent flight.  &#8220;Business,&#8221; I replied.</p>
<p>But I got to thinking.  What does that say about business?  That it can&#8217;t be pleasurable?  That we can&#8217;t have fun or have ease when we&#8217;re working?</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s face it, the old adage <a href="http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/217200.html" target="_blank">&#8216;put your nose to the grindstone&#8217;</a> involves blood.  Imagine sticking your snoz on some sandpapery moving surface.  Ouch with a capital ow.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s to business AND pleasure.</p>
<p>Want to read an example?  Check out <a href="http://whitehottruth.com/business-wealth-articles/today-is-an-epic-day-hot-happy-epic/" target="_blank">Danielle LaPorte&#8217;s of White Hot Truth &#8216;Today is an epic day.&#8217;</a></p>
<p>Want to see an example?</p>
<p>Check out the video of John Nese owner of Galcos Soda Pop Stop in LA.  Now here&#8217;s a guy who&#8217;s mixing business and pleasure.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll toast to that.</p>
