IN SHORT: November 2009
You know the drill. In Short this week at Outlandos focusing on, surprise surprise, thanks.
For most of us, it’s easy to remember the big things: life, health, happiness, friends and family, the end of Oprah, leftover turkey sandwiches. But then there’s the day-to-day and the people who help us retain basic sanity.
So I’m going to get all touchy-feely on you. Take a moment to thank the people who work with/for you. From your postman to your VP. Without them, you’d likely be screwed.
1. Interns
I don’t know what I’d do without them. These guys do all kinds of banal stuff for me and in exchange, I pledge to give them as many free concert tickets as I can and someday plan to write them a recommendation that hopefully lands them their dream job. Mostly, I tell them how friggin spectacular they are ad nauseam. John, Jay, Elijah: I can’t thank you enough. I’m incredibly fortunate to have you on the team and am grateful every single day for the outstanding work you do. Without you, I would most certainly lose my mind (even more). I owe you like, forever.
2. Partners
People helping people. Oh boy, I told you, it’s like I’m my own Oprah. But seriously, we’re all stronger together. So it only makes sense to partner up with people who get it. You scratch my back, I scratch yours. It’s all in good faith and Outlandos has some amazing partners. In part because we’re such glass-half-full, anything’s-possible, nothing-to-lose folks. Frankly, I’m amazed at the number of people who reach out, wanting to help. More amazed at the people I reach out to who accept. As they say, all opportunities are opportunities. Interested? E-mail me.
3. Fans
That’s you. You forward our blogs, you share us on Facebook, you refer potential clients, you listen to The Daily Dose, you read our newsletters, you send us supportive e-mails. Every little bit helps. And on those days where we don’t know what the hell we’re doing, you ground us. By us, I mean me. So I thank you. If I had a dollar for every thing you’ve done, well, I’d probably hire someone to redesign The Daily Dose. But then I’d buy you each a beer.
Happy Thanksgiving.
