It has always been important for humans to be of service to others, but in today's hectic world, I think more than ever we need to be reminded to focus on the needs of others in addition to providing for our own happiness and stability. The great part is that by doing things for others, even if you are getting paid for it, your own happiness and stability will be a side effect! Patricia,

Thanks, and I’m glad you liked it!

From a business standpoint, I agree. The way that you deliver your service is as important as the service itself. People do tend to hang out with and do business with people that they know, like, and trust. One of the goals of this post was to point out that the service that you are providing (business or otherwise) may need to be tweaked, improved, or implemented if growth has plateaued. There are a lot of people who are actively trying to improve their lives or their businesses, yet are still not making much headway. Improving the service that they offer to themselves and others - or the <b>way</b> that they offer that service - can be a great tool for getting the ball rolling in the right direction. Thomas,

Depending on the area we live in, we can all walk down the street and find someone else providing the same service. But I think most of us still patronize the businesses that we are comfortable with and ultimately like and trust the business owners. I think this may be most important. I believe that consumers buy you more so than the actual service or product. I am mainly referring to small business versus big department stores. If the business owner is not happy in his or her life, this may and will effect their bottom line. Sometimes we all need to just take a break and work on ourselves in order to continue to be successful. I don't see anything wrong with some Personal Growth or Coaching services. I could always use some and don't think it would hurt anyone else either.
