It’s always fun to hear entrepreneurs share their success stories, and one of my favorites is Bobbi Brown. She’s featured in my start-up action guide for women, Birthing the Elephant, and she’s totally inspiring: creative, energetic, down-to-earth, supportive.

Bobbi has a can-do attitude that we writers would definitely do well to make our own. She’s also a best-selling author and education booster. During her talk, Bobbi shared her 10 tips for living a happy life, which I thought I’d pass on. As you’ll see, they’re a model of simplicity:

1 Always be on time.

2 Look people in the eye

3 Tell the truth

4 Don’t smoke

5 Drink lots of water

6 Exercise

7 Eat healthy.

8 Read

9 Be nice

10 Never give up

I love this idea! I think I’m going to come up with a 10 tips of my own on the writing front. So stay tuned! In the meantime, if you want to take an upbeat, energizing break, you can check out this intrepid entrepreneur’s blog: EverythingBobbi.com. She knows all about taking risks and having fun doing it.
