Why Play Might Be Your Secret Weapon in Business Success

When most people hear the word entrepreneurship, they picture sleepless nights, endless spreadsheets, and caffeine-fueled survival mode. But according to Lisa Jones, host of Women Winning the Game of Life, the entrepreneurs thriving today aren’t the ones chasing perfection—they’re the ones who embrace play.

Lisa introduces us to the rising trend of creative entrepreneurship and why it matters now more than ever. Perfectionism whispers, “Don’t launch until it’s flawless,” but play gets you moving, solving problems faster, sparking curiosity, and keeping momentum alive. She shares stories—from IKEA’s accidental innovation to her daughter’s duct-taped cardboard castle—that remind us the magic isn’t in perfect planning, but in the courage to start building, wobble and all.

Her philosophy is simple but powerful:

Play solves problems faster than perfection.

Curiosity beats credentials every time.

Lightness keeps you in the game long enough to win.

If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect plan,” Lisa challenges you to try just one playful experiment this week. Because fun isn’t fluff—it’s fuel.
