The Emotional Heavy Lifting

I have a loved one
I always call
when I need cheering up.

If it has been a bad sales day
or I’ve received some harsh
customer feedback
or something else has gone terribly wrong,
she’s the person I talk to.

That emotional heavy lifting
is HARD on a person.
I appreciate
that she does this
for me.
I’m grateful to her.
I ensure I return the favor
and I treat her
as much as she allows me
to treat her.

If you have a similar person,
someone who cheers you up
when you’re down
(and all business builders
need
at least one person like this),
show her/him your appreciation.

Consider surprising this cheerleader
with a thank you card
or flowers
or some other nice gesture.

She/he deserves this.
