In the bump and grind of business it's easy to lose sight of the BIG PICTURE. To forget why you are putting in all this hardwork. There have been lots of business owners who said the reason they are working so hard is for their family. But when they finally stopped to share their success their family was gone. 

As we fight our way through a global pandemic, we can easily lose sight of what really matters. The things we can still be grateful for. Your health, family, and perhaps technology for allowing us to maintain some connection with loved ones. 

Joe Jordan is a veteran of the Financial Services Industry. He was concerned by the way his industry was heading and the low esteem his profession was held in, so he decided to do something about it. He wrote a book and started speaking to others in the industry to encourage them to move their thinking. And his message is having a profound effect.

He also taugh Joe about his practice of contacting someone ever Friday he was grateful for. To let them know the impact they have had on his life. This is a practice Joe has adopted into his own life and one I plan to adopt as well.
