Being

Be the person who…

• When asked to write a review for a friend’s business, you do it because you know it will help.
• Comments on people’s blog posts instead of being a silent reader.
• Visits other’s blog posts and comments back on theirs every once in a while.
• Sends thank you cards for every and any reason at all.
• If you can, stay after a party has ended to help clean up.
• Gives credit to every one involved in your success or project.
• Markets for other businesses because you believe in them and you want to see them succeed.
• Forgives and forgets, because you know you aren’t perfect either.
• Doesn’t keep secrets when it comes to technique, business ideas, or contacts.
• Keeps secrets when asked to.
• Stops counting.
• Overlooks what people don’t or didn’t do, and highlight what other’s did do.
• Continually gives because you want to, not because you expect anything in return.
• Returns every single email and inquiry given to you, even if you can’t really help them or give them a job.
• Realizes you can’t be everything to every one, but you can still be pretty amazing.
• Tells people how much you appreciate them.

These are the things I hope to be this year.

Diana Elizabeth is getting the house ready for this weekend’s backyard reception!  Guess who’s designing it?  La Ricki of course!
