PUBLIC RELATIONS AND BEING THANKFUL
Yesterday I received a call from an old acquaintance of about 10 years, completely out of the blue, requesting a meeting. We spent considerable time together in 2003 when I first started 5WPR, which I remember vividly. We have spoken many times over the years, both personally and professionally, and he’s risen very rapidly in his industry. For someone my age, he has become very high profile, tremendously successful and, other than a few yearly emails, I have admired him from afar.
We met yesterday, simply for him to say “Congratulations” to me. Someone had mentioned me to him earlier this week, we hadn’t connected in quite a while, and he said “You should be proud of what you have built. I am proud of you.”
We ended up spending quite a few hours together, we discussed the prospects of a future business venture. It was really nice to hear from him, and for me as an entrepreneur, it reminded me to thank people who do good things and who succeed.
It’s rare for people to appreciate the success of others, and I vow to do it more. Be appreciative of people who succeed – Its much harder than it looks.

This was interesting…I agree that we must appreciate the success of others, and I vow to do it more. Be appreciative of people who succeed – Its much harder than it looks.
I’m sure that is one reason I do try to be supportive of my sisters and brothers who are succeeding. However, when will my sisters and brothers that I’m supporting in return realize that it is not always about them. Since, they can support those who aren’t succeeding as fast as they just the same.
