Clate Mask, President of Infusionsoft, just passed this one on to me.

"On occasion, what you need most is a burst of inspiration to keep you moving forward. This is a quote I recently stumbled upon... and found very inspiring." -Clate Mask

"Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment."

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

It's amazing how one random idea, leads to another idea.  As I thought about this quote, I reflected upon my life and where it has taken me.  I then settled in on the thought of "Thanksgiving".  Now except for the last 4 years, or so, most of my "Thanksgiving Days", where spent outside of the U.S.

For me "Thanksgiving Day", meant Turkey Dinner, with all the trimmings and a gathering of family and friends.  Some of my earliest and fondest memories are of "Thanksgiving" with a large family around the table, having a feast. Plus watching some football, and usually falling asleep on the sofa. Well, I have to be really honest here, in the early days we did not have T.V., so I know it was more about the "Gathering", than the football.

Every year since, no matter where I was, I have always celebrated Thanksgiving, took the day off and had a Turkey prepared, the rest of the menu would change but the Turkey was there. Minus, the football.  See, it was all about the "Gathering".

It's a time to say thank you to my family and to my friends for being in my life.  Whether, I was able to actually tell them face to face did not matter.  I was saying thank you for being a "Blessing in my Life", and I know that they could sense that "Thank You".  Keep in mind that the U.S. is the only country that celebrates "Thanksgiving". So I was a bit of an oddity, but I do know this that there are still a few people in other countries celebrating "Thanksgiving" even now.

So, this weeks "Business Building Tips", is about being "Thank:FULL.  Full of thanks for everything. 

Come to think of it, this is one of the most important parts of CRM.  The act of saying "Thank You".  Not only in CRM, but in any relationship.  Tell your customers, Thank you. You will be surprised how much the relationships will grow.

So, a very sincere "THANK YOU",  and a wish for prosperity and happiness.
