Recognition

Are you happy with the recognition that you experience in your business and personal life? Does your partner or family tell you that you do the right things or how important you are for them? Does your management team tell you that you are doing a good job? But this is not a oneway street. Do you tell your partner or family how much you need and appreciate them? Do you tell your team how good they are and how much you appreciate them?
These things are very important because as social beings we want some recognition from others and we should recognize others. This is what makes life good. We want to feel good about ourselves and our environment and we want others to feel good. When we feel good we are much more willing to give more and do more and that benefits everyone in our business and personal life.
Tell at least one person every day what you appreciate about them. Small steps make a big difference over time.
