WHAT ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR?
The Thanksgiving season provides us the opportunity to take a bit of a break and reflect on the things we have to be thankful for. In this issue, I'd like to share a few of the things that I am thankful for and give you the opportunity to share as well. I'll get things started with my list: 2009 has been a year filled with challenges for many and I am THANKFUL for the business we have. I'm THANKFUL we are in a great industry that rewards effort and embraces creativity. I am THANKFUL I made business decisions that have better positioned our company for a slower economy. As part of those business decisions, I'm THANKFUL, I affiliated with a solid company that enables me to function without all the stress I had before I made this decision. I'm THANKFUL we are not buried in debt. I'm THANKFUL I truly enjoy what I do. I'm THANKFUL that PromoTips has grown to be a very popular resource that is a positive communication vehicle for our industry.

Family Times Simply
Makes Good Business Sense.
Have you ever made one of those
"to do" lists? I have a friend who is so serious about those things that she even writes down stuff she has already done, just so she can cross it off!
And then there are those nifty priority plans-they're all the rage in the management and self help guides. "Figure out what is important!" "Get focused!" That sort of thing. I tried to make a list like that recently, and I was surprised at what I found out about myself. I was embarrassed, too.
Now, according to the business gurus, my next step should have been to break down those priorities into manageable short term goals. But, you see, my list was all wrong. There were some important items missing from the top. How about this:
Priority number one: Family First.
Hey, now we're talking productivity!
Fact - people enjoying harmonious family relationships are more productive at work.
