Inspiration Sunday: Who Have You Thanked Today?

By
Education & Training with Although I'm retired, I love sharing my knowledge and learning from other real estate industry professionals.



"Great things in business are never done by one person.  They're done by a team of people."

-Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs is certainly right in that statement!   And, it is true in all of life, not just business.  We count heavily on the service and support of others  in our quest to be happy, healthy and successful in whatever we do.

Who have you thanked today for making your life better?  I would like to challenge each of you to thank one person every day for a week.  It doesn't matter if it is a spouse, or child, or business partner, or your mechanic.  Please call, write or meet someone daily and tell them why you are thankful for them. 

How would each of our lives change if we made this a daily habit?

Good morning, Carol --- this is a good reminder and easy too especially when the thank you is truly genuine.   Gratitude is a good habit for each of us to develop.

Great reminder, Carol... and one thing I do religiously at the end of each transaction is write thank you notes to all involved... inspectors, lenders, cooperating brokers, buyers, sellers, contractors, etc.

Good morning Carol Williams,

Feeling gratitude is really a wonderful way to live a purpose driven life..letting others know how much you appreciate them is not only a good feeling for yourself but the person you are thanking!

Wonderful advice... in fact I always kept thank you cards in the office and encouraged each of our agents to send out no less than 10 hand written cards every day...  This generated more business than any of their other activites... Unfortunately few followed my advice...

Hello Carol Williams, I like that challenge, it is one that we should all do without it being a challenge.

I love the idea of creating a new daily habit of thanking just one person! I think I can manage that.

Steve Jobs was right, I dont know how I would survive without my team of great people.

I do need to remember to let them know how much I appreciate them more often.

Today I stopped by to tell a coworker thanks for always being so kind and cheerful.  I didn't need anything.  I just wanted her to know I appreciated her.  She was surprised and delighted.
