This morning an ad popped up in my computer browser (go figure) about a “free online game series” I never heard of before. Not sure why monkey games would pop up in ads for me. But stranger things have happened. So…
Here’s the description I saw in the monkey games ad:
“Monkey GO Happy is a free online game series that takes place in different places and settings, but they are all united by a common theme. A crying monkey driven by the goal to solve the puzzles that it faces and gather small relatives scattered everywhere.”
If you play those games, or you know someone who does, maybe you already know all about the series. But I don’t. So, it seemed weird to see an ad like that.
But it reminded me of something similar in the real world. I’ve shared this before:
Years ago, when I was still in the corporate world, a new manager I met noticed how workers went to the owner with too many questions or problems. He talked about questions and problems they should have been resourceful enough to figure out on their own. And I agreed that was a problem.
But the manager said it was important to help them. And not send them away in shame. Or belittle them by asking why they couldn’t solve the problem themselves. And he said he liked to teach them how to find the answer on their own. Then, once they saw how it was done, he’d send them back out with three more problems to solve.
As he put it, “one monkey in…three monkeys out.”
Of course, that was to show me how to get the monkey off my back, so to speak.
And once I took his advice, soon enough those daily interruptions became a thing of the past. That’s the monkey solution in a nutshell. Or should I say coconut? No, I shouldn’t.
OK, here’s why I brought up all this about monkey games and that corporate lesson.
I’d like to see you enjoy the “go happy” part.
And, at the same time, don’t be the “crying monkey driven by the goal to solve the puzzles that it faces and gather small relatives scattered everywhere.”
But that’s what tends to happen when business owners and entrepreneurs piece their business tools together from a dozen different sources. Email service here. Schedule control there. Customer service, inventory management, communications everywhere else.
It can be a lot easier than all that. And you could enjoy more sane time working ON your dreams and goals instead of playin’ monkey games like chasing interfaces and tutorials.
