If I could show you a way to increase your lifetime income by over $1 million dollars, would you be interested? How about if I could show you a way to live 9 years longer and be healthier at the same time? Would that capture your attention?

I know those are old-time sales questions – and I’m not trying to set you up. There really is a simple way to make all that a reality. **Be happy!** Be happy with who you are and with what you already have.

According to Marci Shimoff, author of *Happy for No Reason*, **“Your success won’t make you happy. Your happiness will make you successful.”** And you know what? Research supports this statement.

Why am I telling you this? Because so many people have it backwards. They think they’ll be happy when they make $150,000 – yet when they do, it’s not sufficient. They think they’ll be happy when they drive the BMW – yet their happiness is short-lived.

**But when you focus on loving what do, appreciating what you have and enjoying your relationships – you can be happy today.** And, believe it or not, that happiness actually helps you achieve those otherwise elusive goals. Give it try! There’s no way you can lose with this sales tip.![sales tip](https://www.jillkonrath.com/hs-fs/file-169673-png/images/play.png?width=1&height=1&name=play.png)
