Employees (and contractors) – It’s easy to give feedback when things aren’t going right, but what’s necessary is to give gratitude and appreciation to your team when things ARE going right.
Suppliers – Engage with your suppliers, and show gratitude for them with thank you’s and referrals.
Referral Network – It doesn’t have to be big, but showing your gratitude to referrals goes a long way in growing your business and improving your business success.
Family and Friends – It’s important to stay connected and spend quality time building and maintaining your personal relationships and showing your appreciation.
You – YOU are your business…As a small business owner or solo-preneur, chances are, without you, your business would not operate. Therefore, it’s important to the success of your business that you appreciate you – take care of your body, mind and soul.
