Thanksgiving…A Good Time to Recharge Your Batteries

Do you 'live to work' or work to live?'

For many professionals, a hard day's work efforts usually stem from a little of both. Especially for sellers, whose job it is to essentially help people and communicate effectively, if you were to win the lottery jackpot tomorrow, a truly entrepreneurial salesperson would likely continue looking for opportunities to help people and communicate effectively in some way. It's in your nature.

Last month, our Canadian friends to the north celebrated their Thanksgiving in October. It's not surprising that their Thanksgiving holiday comes earlier, corresponding to their earlier harvest season. To us, it was just another day at the office. But they took a day, just like we will take a day off tomorrow to relax, reflect, and recharge. To me, Thanksgiving should be more than just a good excuse to get a day off from work. Rather, it's one of those times when we should take stock in our accomplishments, count our many blessings, and enjoy the fruits of the effort that you have invested over the last several months.

There's no doubt that success can be taxing on the body and spirit. It can also be  empowering if you are able to enjoy it with those whom you care about the most.

Happy Thanksgiving from me and my family to you and yours!
