How often do you say "Thank-You"?

When was the last time you told someone Thank-you?

If your in sales you already know a sincere thank-you is a great way to win a customer.  A heart-felt sincere thank-you can lighten many situations.  Thanking another for kindness brings a tremendous amount of power yet some of us hold back on this simple gesture.


Let's evaluate the last time you said thank-you.

Sit down and make a list of who you thanked in the prior week.  Did anyone from your "circle of influence" (family, children, friends)  make the cut?  What about your barista that gave you that order of coffee?

Now, ask yourself this question, "How easy is it to say Thank-You?"  When you say thank-you does it flow freely? Or is a quick gesture that is not genuine.  Gratitude, or grace, is a powerful magnetic force that attracts positive things towards us.  What can you do to have a powerful magnetic force that attracts positivity?

Try, going first be the one to say thank-you.  Say thank you to those in your "circle of influence" then reach out and say thank-you to anyone who has done a kind act to you regardless of how small.  Did you assistant send a fax for?  Say thank-you.  I challenge you to find the "little things" in life and say thank-you for them.


Fear can prevent us from acknowledging others for many reasons.  Perhaps your afraid of being taken advantage of for displaying acts of kindness.  Be gracious even in situations where another may have wronged you.  Be the change. Begin with acknowledgement.

Communication opens doors, the better communication with those in your life, the more you will become unstoppable. Saying thank-you opens these doors.  Try it!  Then ask yourself if you had conversations or exchanges that you wouldn't have if you had not opened the door of communication.

Who is first on your list to say thank-you to?
