  Hi, this is Stephanie Maas and today I want to share what I thought was a really neat feedback from a speaker I heard at a conference and they were giving their foundation of success and encouraged us to adopt it as our foundation as well.

  It was very simple, just three little things.
• 0:17
  Number one, work hard.
• 0:19
  Sounds silly, but for them, working hard wasn't just a matter of how many hours you put into each day, but what you actually put into those hours.
• 0:28
  I kind of heard it as work hard, but also work smart.
• 0:32
  Second thing they talked about was being teachable.
• 0:35
  You're never too old to learn how to do something new, something better.
• 0:40
  Every single day we see it, it's remarkable.
• 0:43
  What's happening, what's being created, what's being become better.
• 0:47
  So you got to stay teachable.
• 0:49
  And the third thing, and this was my favorite was you got to have the right attitude, specifically, you got to have an attitude of gratitude.
• 1:00
  If you do, you will always have more than you need.
• 1:04
  If you don't have an attitude of gratitude, you'll never have enough.
• 1:08
  I thought that was kind of cool, but then also what is the fundamental success of business?
• 1:15
  People.

  And it just got me thinking about how we treat people in the midst of business.
• 1:20
  Let's face it.
• 1:21
  We are all business people.
• 1:22
  We have to make business decisions every single day, but let me encourage you in the midst of all that business to remember people are the foundation.
• 1:32
  You need to treat them well, treat them right, and remember the golden rule.
