Gratitude in Entrepreneurship and Work Culture
People start businesses because of need or dissatisfaction.
In my case, I entered entrepreneurship quite abruptly after a traumatic layoff. I needed a way to support my family, and starting a new business seemed like my best option.
Others take the leap because they’re not happy with their status quo. They want to achieve more and get more.
The drive that comes from need and dissatisfaction is not a bad thing. It’s the foundation of development and progress.
But at Thanksgiving, which is observed this week in the United States, I also want to share some thoughts on what I see as another critical element in life and in business – namely gratitude.
