How might you get into the spirit of the season, feel good about yourself and make others feel good too? Here is a list to get us started, feel free to add your own items to the list below.
1. Smile, look people in the eye and greet them. “Good morning” or “Good day”…
2. When driving, actually STOP at the STOP sign, the Right On Red Corner and for those in crosswalks. Who knows maybe this will remain a habit.
3. Say “Thank you”. Checking out when shopping, say “Thank you” when finished.
4. Call a client or a customer to simply ask them how they are planning to spend their holiday. Thank them for your relationship and their doing business with you.
5. Volunteer in some way in your community to help others. Possibly it is a toy drive or working in a soup kitchen or collecting goods, clothes or toys for those in need.
6. Slow Down. Stop Rushing. Take a Moment and Breath.
7. Pray. In the way that works for you either with your group in an organized manner or by yourself. Peace on earth. Good will toward others. Since we are not in the U.S. Senate or Congress can’t the rest of us just get along?

Hey, I do all of those things all year round. No wonder it always feels like Christmas!
Mitch,
These fundamentals are so lost in our busy world today. Thanks for sharing.
Write on!~

Mitch, it’s funny that you say that. Today I worked the party at my son’s school with a group of parents that looked like the U.N. We all got along marvelously! I wondered why our world leaders couldn’t do the same. Thanks for the thoughtful tips.
I’m with Jessica – let’s always be like this!
For this time of the year #4 is super: Call a client or a customer to simply ask them how they are planning to spend their holiday. Thank them for your relationship and their doing business with you.
I’d like to add one: compliment a complete stranger… “I love your hair” or “that’s a great color on you!”
Thanks for encouraging a return to common courtesy!
Awesome! Thanks for the reminders, Mitch! I do these all year round but I do notice less people doing them. They really do make a difference, especially around the holidays, when people are exceptionally stressed!
If a client is unsatisfied with the quality of my performance, product or service, what are the ramifications.
Once you have your short list of companies you should visit their office and
see how they run their own office. The agreement should specify whether
the contractor is paid on an hourly or time
and materials basis, or is paid a project
fee based on deliverables.
