​Gratitude- It seems to be counter-intuitive to business but it is a feeling we should keep top of mind- whether it be for mentors who have helped shape you and your business to an employee who represents your company on a daily basis.  In this month of celebration and thankfulness take a moment to share a word of gratitude with someone who has made an impact on you - a client, a co-worker, an employee, a competitor, or a vendor- it can open doors you never thought possible.
