Each week Kirby will dig into a word that will help in personal development, sales, and growth. The weekly word is designed to be short and sweet, and provide a quick lesson that will help you grow each week.
THE 30 DAY CHALLENGE The Hasseman Marketing weekly word this week is GRATITUDE. The fact is studies will tell you that if you are more happy then you are more likely to succeed. Kirby feels that we have that all backwards in life. He says that people say to him all of the time “how do I become more happy?” Kirby answers this question by telling us to become more grateful. If you want to become more grateful, Kirby gives us an exercise on how to do this. In this video, he teaches us to go around each day and to think of reasons to write someone a Thank You card. Kirby says the first week is going to be pretty easy. You will be able to think of customers, mentors, neigbors, friends, and people that have helped you along the way. Kirby preaches that as you continue to go through this process and look for things to be thankful for, guess what…..you are going to find it! You are going to be more happy! Kirby challenges us to go through a GRATITUDE exercise. In this challenge he suggests to spend thirty days and try to send a Thank You card to someone every single day. Don’t miss a day. Be diligent and stick to this exercise. By doing this exercise, Kirby feels this will reshape the way you look at your world. Want to keep up all the time? Make sure to join our VIP List!

I was looking into the eyes of a frustrated young lady. She was in the middle of a situation where someone she used to be close to was disparaging her on social media. She was angry. She was emotional. And she looked at me and said “I want some advice. What do you think I should do?” It’s a tough spot. But I said, “What I am about to say is simple…but it’s not easy.” I told her that she needed to ignore it. She needed to rise above it. She should not respond in kind. The fact is, what she needed to do was simple from my perspective. It was simple because I was not emotionally attached to it. But simple is not the same as easy. The same is true for nearly everything we want to accomplish in life. We “know” what to do. You want to lose 10 pounds? You need to eat better and work out more. Simple. You want to increase your sales? You need to reach out and talk to more potential customers. You need to ask them to buy from you. Simple. Oh, you want to have a better relationship with your significant other? You need to listen more, give more, love them more. Simple. That’s why it’s really easy to look at other people’s lives and diagnose what “they” need to do. When we look at other people’s situations, we have no emotional attachment to the issues. So we can look objectively and easily prescribe a solution. What does this mean for you? It means we all struggle with the same challenge. We know what to do. We just need to do it. So grant yourself some grace if you have not done it in the past. You can only do something about today. The solution is likely simple…it’s just not easy. Today, do the thing you know you need to do. Then do it again. Make sure you never miss an update! Join our VIP newsletter here.
