Entrepreneur Mark Sham attracted a large audience to the Hirsch’s weekly workshop series recently.

Hirsch’s recently hosted a popular online entrepreneurship workshop featuring input from entrepreneur, writer, speaker and founder of Suits & Sneakers Mark Sham.

This was part of Hirsch’s weekly workshop series anchored by multi-award-winning businesswoman Margaret Hirsch and business coach Marlene Powell.

The event saw more than 3 000 people follow the hour-long informative and interactive session either through Facebook Live or Zoom.

Sham’s core message was that happiness in life equals success in business.

He said, “Happiness should not be taken for granted, in fact, we should study happiness at school. No one teaches us how to be happy. No one teaches you how to have a positive relationship with yourself or with other people.

“Several pointers that will help towards making you a happier version of yourself include prioritising sleep, finding a way to slow down and to speed up [meditation helps], eat correctly and train consistently.

“Spend time on becoming more self-aware. Create value for others.”

Sharing her view on happiness, Powell pointed out that our whole lives were a reflection of who we were and that the most successful and happy business owners were those who found a balance between passion, grasping how to run a business efficiently and having a guide to help with the day-to-day running of a business.

Hirsch said goal-setting was an important part of building a happy, healthy self-image. She added that putting together a vision board helped with setting one’s long-term goals.

“Don’t chase money if you want to be happy. Find joy in what you do and the money will follow,” concluded Hirsch.
