Gratitude In Business
What role does gratitude play in the everyday affairs of business?
It can be rather important and meaningful one.
Take the following example: Yesterday I was working through some complex (to me) HTML issues on my web site (http://BarryMorris.com). I was getting nowhere fast.
Luckily, I'm a member of the Action Plan Marketing - Info Guru Support Forum. I posted a brief message about my woes and in no time at all, I was receiving all sorts of assistance. The most crucial aspect of this came from Eileen Parzek of www.SOHOitgoes.com. Eileen is a web-guru incorporating design, photo touch ups, you-name-it she-does-it.
I responded with a phone call to her home office in New York. We chatted for a bout 15 minutes. It was a meaningful conversation and I wanted Eileen to know how much I appreciated her help.
Eileen posted the following to her blog: (http://www.soho-it-goes.com/resources/blogger/2005/10/how-to-be-supremely-help-able.html)
It continues to be my experience that when gratitude is expressed without any expectation of return, it returns in exponential measure.
Try it for yourself.
If you need a refresher course on gratitude, see this post: http://gratitudecubed.blogspot.com/2005/07/what-is-gratitude-cubed.html
Peace.
