6 Ultra-simple Ways Gratitude Builds Business Relationships |IBGR | Donna Kunde & Londina Cruz
​

1. “The most powerful weapon against your daily battles is finding the courage to be grateful anyway.” – Unknown
2. People can usually trace their successes and failures to the relationships in their lives. 
3. Being grateful puts everything in perspective and improves productivity. In order to add gratitude to your relationships, value people every day, make yourself more valuable in your relationships, put yourself in their world, focus your relationships on benefiting others not yourself, be consistent.
4. Think of how you can express your gratitude and appreciation in each of these areas:

• Clients – As a business owner, without clients and customers, you have no revenues.
• Employees (and contractors) – It’s easy to give feedback when things aren’t going right, but what’s necessary is to give gratitude and appreciation to your team when things ARE going right. 
• Suppliers – Engage with your suppliers, and show gratitude for them with thank you’s and referrals.
• Referral Network – It doesn’t have to be big, but showing your gratitude to referrals goes a long way in growing your business and improving your business success.
• Family and Friends – It’s important to stay connected and spend quality time building and maintaining your personal relationships and showing your appreciation. 
• You – YOU are your business…As a small business owner or solo-preneur, chances are, without you, your business would not operate. Therefore, it’s important to the success of your business that you appreciate you – take care of your body, mind and soul.

Build Strong Business Relationships by Valuing People |IBGR | Donna Kunde & Londina Cruz

1. “People can usually trace their successes and failures to the relationships in their lives.” - John C. Maxwell
   
2. We are defined by our relationships. Business owners can always learn to build better relationships and increase relational capacity. The best and easiest way to build better relationships is by being intentional every day when it comes to people interactions. 
   
3. Valuing people is about believing in their potential, their dreams and their aspirations. When you respect what someone else is thinking or doing you are showing you value them. If you don’t like people or secretly look down on them it could be a barrier to your success. 
   
4. Stop, look and listen. Valuing people is all about THEM. Take yourself out of the picture and get really curious about the people in front of you. There is no better way to show people you value them than by asking for their opinion.

Be the Business Go-To Connection by Making Yourself More Valuable |IBGR | Donna Kunde & Londina Cruz

1. “If you will help others get what they want, they will help you get everything you need in life.” - Zig Ziglar 
   
2. When you make yourself more valuable you also put yourself top-of-mind to your business connections. You will be the first one they think of in conversations where connections are being made. 
   
3. The fastest way to make yourself more valuable is to get really curious. People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. 
   
4. Make yourself more valuable by making yourself better so you have more to give. When you grow yourself, you raise your capacity to make yourself available for the connections in your life.
