subject: Just A Few Words Of Appreciation [print this page] This week I am going to write about one of the most powerful yet simple "pebbles of action" towards building your mountain of success. This one action step will separate you from the crowd and empower you to develop a network of people, who have a high regard of respect for you. The action is simply using a few words of appreciation. The words "thank you" are simple, but at the same time extremely powerful!
I wrote in a past issue that the difference between ordinary and EXTRAordinary is just a little bit of EXTRA. Well, as I meet people and do business, I always make an extra-effort to say "thank you" by way of e-mail, voicemail or send a card in the mail. People always comment how much they appreciated the "thank you". In these days of such hectic schedules and people running all over the place and trying to get ahead, sometimes we forget the simplest things in life are the most powerful and rewarding. You need to think to yourself about a time someone sent you a thank you and how much it meant to you. Always remember to "Do unto others as you would have done unto you!"
After you finish a meeting make a note to your self to send a timely thank-you. Easy actions reap big rewards! I personally like to leave a voicemail message or send an e-mail message using the topic line "Thank You". Existence is a journey and when you progress, the crucial is to establish a reputation as one who appreciates others.
People will always really feel comfy to introduce you to among their contacts understanding your past pattern may be among professionalism and respect. You have to realize that your most notable achievements in life will generally be the result of somebody introducing you to among his or her contacts.
From this day forward, always take a little pebble of action in order to build your mountain of success! "Thank you" is a fantastic place to start! I will start the ball rolling by thanking YOU, the readers of this manual. I truly appreciate your time and testimonials about how we have been able to help in your mission in Life.
