The “BE MORE HAPPIPRENEUR” Show

Be More Happipreneur!

This is the entertaining one-man show of Tony’s philosophy of Happipreneurship as first revealed in the 5* rated book, “The Happipreneur”. Happipreneurs are happy, enterprising people making a positive difference in every workplace. Some are leaders; some are entrepreneurs; some are business owners; some are side hustlers and most are the game-changing employees that every organisation needs.

By the show’s end, everyone knows how to be more happipreneur or help others to be so.    An example of the values and actions that happipreneurs adopt and take is shown through Tony’s own entrepreneurial journey and the entrepreneurs he has learned from. He explains the key decisions he took for ever greater happiness and fulfilment in his work life. This journey includes his family’s business to being a professionally qualified HR Director and then CEO of a large American multinational through to his three decades as a business owner, leadership coach and enterprise champion.

Charles Dickens is Tony’s role model happipreneur, but delegates will be delighted to know that most of the role models referenced in the show are alive, active and able to be watched and learned from on YouTube.

Every show is different, as every audience is different. Everyone’s route to happipreneurship is different too. What Tony can promise is an entertaining, enterprising hour that gives food for thought and the know-how as to why happipreneurs are so successful at their work.

Most delegates will know someone, even themself, who may want to “Be More Happipreneur”.

Every organisation, of every size, in the private, public and third sectors, needs enterprising people to succeed.

Do you lead or value or enjoy being with enterprising people?

Could you fill a theatre, a conference room, a hall, a cafe, a pub or a field with enterprising people?

Do you have employees, customers, suppliers, a network, a community, colleagues, friends and family that might like to learn how to BE MORE HAPPIPRENEUR?

I’m loving all the amazing venues for the show. 

TONY’s JOYFUL SHOW

– Is entertaining and of great value to all leaders, entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, side-hustlers, start-ups, prospective and existing self-employed people, and small and micro business owners who want to be, or help someone else to be, more enterprising and happier in their work.

– Tony and his co-author Taryn Lee Johnston created the philosophy of Happipreneurship in the new ‘Small is Beautiful’ – the 5* rated ‘The Happipreneur’. Enterprising people everywhere are now benefiting from this approach to working life.

— the show is a great philosophy and history lesson too. Charles Dickens is Tony’s role model Happipreneur but he features many new, young Happipreneurs and some of the famous entrepreneurs he’s met and still learns from.  They include Tim Campbell MBE (The Apprentice and wrote the 5-page introduction to ‘The Happipreneur’), Kanya King CBE (his inspiration), Charlie Mullins OBE his #MicroBizMatters Tsar, Sir Jim Ratcliffe (his schoolmate) and Lord Sugar (once a client).

– Tony explains how key decisions in his riches-to-rags journey allowed him to stumble into an evermore happier and more enterprising work life.

– Guaranteed to be joyful, inspiring, unique and fun. As Brad Burton, the UK’s Number One Motivational Speaker says on the book cover “If you want the truth go to the ‘Dickhead’ in the red-feathered hat”.

At least four out of five #startups adopting the Happipreneurship philosophy will survive their first three years of trading.

Happipreneurs are successful in life and in an enterprise. They build happy and high-impact teams, avoid damaging stress, innovate, collaborate and, most importantly happily, control their own destiny in the long term.

Whether, you’re a freelancer, or a multi-billionaire like Tony’s school friend, Sir Jim Ratcliffe,  Happipreneurship is a business and life philosophy worth considering for yourself and enabling in others.
