You know, most people at the top of these respective areas had somebody that at one point helped them.”“Be aware that you don't want to be transactional. You want to be reciprocal.”“There are so many different books and strategies on the power of positive thinking. But gratitude is a huge play. So if you find yourself being ungrateful, that's probably a very good sign that you need to kind of recalibrate and maybe do yourself a little gratitude list.” SOCIAL MEDIA LINKSKen BadenFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheKenBadenInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bluecollarcloser/WEBSITE:The Kitchen Table Podcast: https://thekitchentablepodcast.net/
