Francis de Sales on Growing
“Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections, but instantly set about remedying them – every day commence the task anew.”
–St. Francis de Sales (1567–1622)
French bishop

Part of the problem is the eggshells.
We’ve laid them out around ourselves and become worried about stepping on those that others have laid around themselves.
Some of us (all of us at one time or another) have forgotten our interdependence and obligation to other people. We’ve place ourselves (our comfort, our hearts, our minds) at the center of our universe (our universe?).
I want to encourage you to Like Your People.
Who are your people? All who’s vital to you… your family… your friends… your colleagues… your customers, patients, team, students. These are your people (and you’re theirs).
And like? It’s care.
And care? It’s attention and contribution (what you give, what you do)…
(please continue reading… it’s a leadership message… whether you have the title or not)

A quick (2.5 min.) video made by Baby chicken-fil-A to remind their employees that their customers are people and they may have things going on in their lives (a excellent business to remember as you sell and service your prospects and customers).
A fantastic small 15-minute video on the value of a smile, being encouraging and hard-wearing, and the impact we have on others (even when we don’t grasp it). Save this for outside your money hours (and maybe watch it with your kids).
