Yellow Factor

There should be a key driving factor in business (and life), and thatʼs Happiness.

We called Yellow Goldfish anytime a business does a little extra to contribute to the happiness of its customers, employees, or society. We have identified nine paths – or Yellow Factor – that we can follow both to contribute to our own happiness and to increase happiness in business to delight the customer and to drive growth, productivity, and prosperity. Even when companies choose other ways than happiness to differentiate themselves, every company and each of us can still have a ☀️Yellow Factor 🌻 and do a little extra that seeds happiness, shines sunlight, and contributes to a happier, healthier, and more sustainable world.

Based on nearly 300 case studies, Yellow Goldfish, published by Stan Phelps and Rosaria Cirillo in September 2018, covers nine ways increasing H.A.P.P.I.N.E.S.S. in business can drive G.R.O.W.T.H., productivity, and prosperity for everyone.

Yellow Factor was published in November 2020 as the revised version of Yellow Goldfish book and it’s available for sales on Amazon & Kindle. Divided into four main sections, Yellow Factor will help you and your company understand WHY happiness in business matters, WHAT you can do to contribute to happiness (of customers, employees and society), and HOW to do so.

Section I outlines the Why. It explores the history and science of happiness and the background of the metaphors behind the Goldfish, the Sunflower, and the color Yellow.

Section II showcases the What. We’ll uncover nine keys for H.A.P.P.I.N.E.S.S: Health, Autonomy, Purpose, Play, Integrity, Nature, Empathy, Simplicity, and Smile.

Section III explains How. Here we share the process behind developing your Yellow Factor to Drive G.R.O.W.T.H.: Grounding, Reaching-up, Operationalizing, Wowing (or Wow Blossoming), Taking Time, and Harvesting.

Section IV summarizes the key takeaways and provides extra resources and a list of Happiness in Business Trailblazers.

Also available: A blog series containing highlights from the book and a sample keynote about Happiness in business
