What’s your gratitude plan for your business?

I wrote this in my journal one day a while back: Thanks, Happy-Giving!

Then, during the winter of 2007 I sat down with Jim - a mentor of mine - for one of our quarterly breakfast meetings. While we ate oatmeal (him) and pancakes (me), Jim asked me a question that I’ve still been answering almost every day.

Have you ever walked away from a meeting with someone KNOWING that that conversation had the potential to change everything?

Here was the question he asked, “Jason, what’s your gratitude plan for your business?"

I had a business plan. A financial plan. A marketing plan. I even had a “hire-a-freelancer” plan! I had a customer care plan, as well as a product development plan. But…a “gratitude” plan?

 

As a social psychologist, I study interconnectedness. I write down hypotheses and then I go do my research. I read studies, I interview experts, I find information and statistics that prove (or disprove) what I set out to find. Well, this one discussion almost 9 years ago was one of the most “interdisciplinary” ones I’ve come across.

Here’s that question, and I invite YOU to answer it:

In a blog post titled, Brain, Consciousness, Gratitude and Productivity, I write about the interconnected and interdisciplinary condition of studying the “Three -ologies” that I spend my life helping people like you understand. The 3 are:

  1. Psychology
  2. Sociology
  3. Technology
