Gratitude is Catching On in Business

A few weeks ago I was referred to this site and happy to find someone is promoting gratitude as a business tool. Take a look, I’ll wait for you … gratitide cubed blog

In my own work, I discuss the four steps of intention as a business tool to help you step into the best frame of mind for deal-making. The steps are:

Praise
Gratitude
Love/Worthiness
Cognition/Acknowledgement/ Namaste

I explained the steps in more detail in an earlier post here:
four steps of intention

Of them, gratitude is very important. It quiets our approach and things go better when we can hold an intention to be grateful, whatever the circumstances seems at the moment.

Try it out on your own family and see how it works. You’ll be anxious to try it in business as you get the hang of it.

    Laura,
    Thanks for your comment on the G3 Blog. Gratitude just may be the best business tool ever non-invented!
