The phone rang.
It was a long-standing client.
I was quick to answer the call. I assumed they needed something right away.
They only said two words.
“Thank you.”
I was not sure how to respond besides “you’re welcome” so I also asked if they needed anything.
Nope. We just wanted to say “thank you” for our call a few weeks ago. We were a little stuck and needed some direction and talking it through really helped. We also realized that we typically call when we need something but don’t really ever call afterwards, but it seemed important to say “thank you.”
After that call I felt more inspired. More energized.
They didn’t have to make that call, but they did. They didn’t have to say “thank you”, but they did. And it made an impact. My work felt more meaningful, more important.
Where can we make those calls, and use those words? Who is helping, guiding, or assisting us in our journey? Who needs to hear from us?
Try it out today, make at least one call. Be grateful, say “thank you” and imagine the impact we can make.
