Start a Wow Project:
Use your Passion & Talent to make the World a Little Better & Yourself a Lot Happier, Doing Work you Love…
The Problem (Why)
Work
Work should be Wow; yet for the majority of people, it isn't. A study by Gartner shows that 87% of all employees are not satisfied. People are bored, frustrated, burned out and often deeply unhappy.
World
The world should be Wow, yet for the majority of people it isn’t. Hunger, disease, pollution, repression are but a few of the problems millions of people experience everyday. And now even the world itself is under serious threat.
Companies
Companies face ever-growing problems in recruiting and binding the best people. Classic incentives (salary, corner offices, company cars) are no longer enough when the work itself is devoid of purpose and meaning (not Wow).
The solution (What)
Too many people are doing work without purpose or meaning. Yet the world is full of problems that need to be solved.
We think the solution is really simple:
Start a Wow project!
Just start a project that makes your world a little better and yourself a lot happier.
Wow Projects…
- Make the world (a little) better - Make our hearts glow - Make use of our passion & talent - Help us grow and develop - Give us purpose and meaning - Are not primarily aimed at money
Happiness
Creating wow is the shortcut to happiness. Using your passion and talent, doing work you love AND serving something that’s bigger then yourself is scientifically proven the best route to happiness.
HOW?
1. Change your mindset
The first and perhaps most important thing to do, is to change your mindset into that of a Chief Wow Officer. Change your beliefs, take on the right attitude and make it a habit to start doing as soon as possible.
