Is it money? No. Fame? No. Awards? Nope. The best gift of all is gratitude.

My clients gave me this card recently. I’ve been helping them build a powerful partnership for their business. They’re married and also work together, but they fought a lot, and always about the same things. They told me my work with them has made a difference.

I’ve been in business a very long time, and I can tell you—making a difference is the only thing that matters. That people trust me enough to give me the chance to make a difference fills me with gratitude. They gave me that gift, and there is no better feeling.
