In the spirit of thankfulness, I want to sincerely thank you for the relationship that we have and for being a part of it. It means the world to me to have like-minded people in my life who are committed to being successful and are dedicated to serving out excellence, day in and day out. I truly am looking forward to continuing that relationship in the coming year ahead.

This month more than any other, I find myself reflecting over the past decade by looking at ways that practicing gratitude has served me well. To me, gratitude is an action, and I have tried to apply it daily. I’m not perfect at doing so but I do it 5 to 7 days a week.

This week’s message and lesson ties in perfectly with this time of the year, Thanksgiving and the biggest advantage we have as small business owners operating in our local marketplace.

The world around us is moving at warp speed. Entrepreneurs and business owners often get caught in the trap of searching for the new answer to their dream of new business growth.

Getting more referrals is NOT just about asking for them.

Although asking at the right time is critical to this process, referral culture is basically drawing a line in the sand and stating …

“My Business Will Be About Referrals, … AND … I will design and execute the best system for me and my team for attracting them into our agency.

Many people focus on PASSION. They ask themselves, “What am I passionate about?”, and they try to do that.

In Cal Newport’s book, “So Good They Can’t Ignore You”, he writes about a different perspective.

Do you ever sit down and REALLY think about what you want in life? I don’t mean what you think you want so you can keep up with the Joneses, or what you think you want because someone else thinks it’s good for you; I mean what YOU REALLY WANT!

Hi ~Contact.FirstName~,

Over the years I’ve received many questions on how to get the best results from team members. One of the best ways is to keep them motivated!

Motivation is hard to find these days. Most of us are burned out not just from work but from everything going on – the pandemic, wildfires, civil unrest, election politics and more.
