The power of praise

I was recently hired as a social media manager for a regional company, a job that it seems I was born for. As you know, for the last two years I have been building my web design and social media business. Unfortunately, I have never been good at promoting myself so while I have managed to find some great clients, I have also been my greatest roadblock. However, through some great connections that I have made, and with the support of numerous peoplewho believe in me, I was given a great opportunity to do what I love.

The funny thing is that this has created a domino effect. Not only do I feel that I am finally being rewarded for my skills and knowledge, but I feel great about myself. I am more determined now to take over the world.

It’s funny how things work, right? How suddenly you can start to feel more positive about yourself because someone simply says, “good job” or “I believe in you!”

Don’t forget to tell your children these things every now and then. They are powerful and too often left unsaid.
