Suggest You - The Power of Thanking People With Handwritten Notes --Show Gratitude
If you are looking for a new job, you might be considering self-employment. This is a growing option in the past decade. Companies are much more willing to hire outside consultants and advisors, because it is often easier for them than having you on their payroll. Before you launch yourself into a new business venture, there are a few things to consider.The major difference between being self-employed and working for someone else is the paycheck factor. When you are employed
Yes, you're very busy. It takes time to write notes. In fact, it just might make your hand hurt since you're probably so used to typing on a keyboard or dictating into a machine!

In the modem world no business can afford to remain secretive because various parties such as creditors, employees, taxation authorities, investors, public and government etc., are interested to know about the affairs of the business. Affairs of the business can be studied mainly by consulting final accounts and the balance sheet of the particular business. Final accounts and the balance sheet are end products of book-keeping. Because of the importance of these statements it became nec

*a teacher like Mrs. Jordan (my fifth grade teacher) who said the right thing at the right time?
*the person who wrote a glowing recommendation letter that won you a major scholarship or admission to your school of choice?
*mentors who appeared at just the right time to guide you personally and professionally?
*the gatekeeper who put your important phone call through to the company bigwig?
*a friend who consoled you through a painful time?
*a stranger who did you an extraordinary act of kindness?
*someone who opened the door for you, leading to incredible opportunities?
*the minister who listened to you for hours?
*family members who've supported you with love and encouragement?
*your boss who backed you up in the midst a major corporate crisis that threatened to put you out of a job?
Why not become extraordinary, stand out from the crowd and send these people handwritten notes, thanking them for something they did for you? It will cause a few raised eyebrows, guaranteed.
You say you already sent them an email thanking them? Well, that's nice but it doesn't really count. I'm not saying email should never be used to thank people. In fact, we've all done it and we will continue to do it. It's too easy not to.

Your message is first among your weapons in the battle of perceptions.Your message allows you to accomplish many things. Your message can educate the masses, convert the non-believers or separate the wheat from the chaff. But not all three.Your first clue to your message comes from where in the Awareness Scale™ your target sits.

Trade shows offer a great opportunity to showcase your company's product or services. A brochure can explain your selling points, but a trade show can demonstrate them in action.

Career change is no walk in the park.If it was easy, the castle gates would have burst long ago under the stampede of restless corporate warriors. Even with a burning desire to escape, the gritty issues of money and future work loom larger than life. Add in the trauma of a lost security blanket and you’ve got a love-hate relationship that keeps you marching stoically in place.It doesn’t have to be that way.

If you think about it a moment, the people who helped you were also busy; yet they found the time to guide you, listen to you, write a letter on your behalf, etc. Imagine the ripple effect your handwritten card would have on them. It would mean much more because they know you're a busy person. Wouldn't you agree?
Just a simple note will suffice:
"Joe, It's been many years since I've seen you but I never forgot what you did for me when I was towards the end of my career at ABC company. You helped me get started with my new speaking career by hiring a professional speech coach and writing a recommendation letter. Thank you Joe. Warm regards, Carl."
I'll bet "Joe" was very surprised to hear from "Carl" since so many years went by. There are no statue of limitations on thank you notes. Hint: This actually happened to me several years ago and someone is about to get a surprise card from me this week!
Here are some rules I go by when I want my "thank yous" to really count:
*substitute handwritten notes in place of email for significant deeds
*use blank cards (not the preprinted ones where you sign your name and be done with it)
*insert your business card (especially if it has a photo on it - they'll love it!)
*send a card to each family member and watch their eyebrows go up-they'll never ex
