At its core, businesses are about helping others.

A customer has an issue, they turn to a business, and as a result the issue gets resolved. Whether that customer needed a service done or needed to purchase a product, it gets done.

Sounds easy right?!

The customer leaves happy and the business is happy that they could help.

Except, when it’s a friend, family member, coworker, classmate, or even a stranger that needs help, we often become hesitant; hesitant to help.

The same concept applies – when you help someone else, you’re helping yourself.

• Stronger relationships
• Sense of community
• Self-esteem boost
• Kindness is contagious

While we are living in a run-run society where it’s easy to get wrapped up in our own lives, it’s important not to overlook the other people in our lives.

Helping someone might be simply lending a hand, giving a compliment, or by being a listening ear; ways that mean more to them than you’ll ever know.

“Never look down on anybody unless you’re helping them up.”– Jesse Jackson

Being people oriented, can really differentiate yourself in this world.

To lift others up, can improve the world, one day, one person at a time.
