Gratitude in Business: How to reflect and how it helps your business succeed
I know this is cliche, but November always reminds me to be grateful for the different things in my life, including my business. Gratitude in business not only gives you a moment to appreciate what you have, but is also a powerful tool for your business.
Gratitude shapes the culture and operations of your business as well as having an internal and external impact. It shows appreciation to your customers, clients, and employees/contractors. This creates a positive culture in our businesses. Gratitude inspires generosity and generosity fosters gratitude.
Last year I took a moment to be grateful to one of my employees by buying their next cup of coffee. As a result, my day was brightened, knowing I could do something nice for my client. She, in turn, felt like someone cared, was able to get a cup of coffee, and down the road was able to send a referral my way. I didn’t do it for the referral, but it was a nice bonus.
Being grateful for my clients, my business, and my friends reminds me of the good I have in my life. It keeps my spirits up and helps me keep going when things are tough.
