Given all the challenges you face, it\u2019s far too easy to focus on the negatives. Remembering what you\u2019re grateful for can improve your mood and give you the energy to take action. Here are five groups that you should be sure to thank this Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n<h2>Your Investors<\/h2>\n<p>They\u2019ve entrusted you with their money, which shows how much they believe in you. Even when you don\u2019t hear from them, they\u2019re thinking about you and searching for ways to make your business more successful. When you need help, you can ask them to pitch in, and they often have great connections and insights.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"right\"><p>Rather than waiting for your next board meeting or investor update, take the time to reach out to your investors and thank them for their support.<span id=\"tweetquote\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=http:\/\/bit.ly\/2fvgGyd&amp;via=unreasonable&amp;text=&quot;Don't wait for your next board meeting. Reach out to your investors and thank them now&quot; @chrisyeh\"><i class=\"fa fa-twitter\"><\/i> Tweet This Quote<\/a><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Rather than waiting for your next board meeting or investor update, take the time to reach out to them individually and thank them for their support. Just don\u2019t be surprised if they ask you, \u201cAre you looking for more money?\u201d They\u2019re not used to spontaneous expressions of thanks!<\/p>\n<h2>Your Customers<\/h2>\n<p>They\u2019ve invested their precious time and money in your product. Unlike your investors, who assume that the majority of their investments are going to end up worthless, your customers are counting on you to succeed. When you meet or exceed their expectations, they love to talk about you and share your story with their friends. When critics say nasty things, customers can defend you in a more credible way than your mom or your PR firm.<\/p>\n<p>Give your customers something extra to express your gratitude. Not something financial, like a discount or credit; treat them like a human being, not a wallet! Maybe it\u2019s a kind note. Maybe it\u2019s a party to celebrate the great things you\u2019ve accomplished together. Best of all, when you thank your customers, not only do they feel good, but they\u2019re also more likely to tell other people about you.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"center\"><p>When critics say nasty things, customers can defend you in a more credible way than your mom or your PR firm.<span id=\"tweetquote\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=http:\/\/bit.ly\/2fvgGyd&amp;via=unreasonable&amp;text=&quot;When critics get nasty, customers defend you in a more credible way than your PR firm&quot; @chrisyeh\"><i class=\"fa fa-twitter\"><\/i> Tweet This Quote<\/a><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Your Employees<\/h2>\n<p>Every single one of your employees is a volunteer. They don\u2019t have to work for your company; they choose to join your mission every single day. They probably spend more time working for you than they spend with their own family, which demonstrates their devotion. Even when they cause a mess or need you to intervene, they\u2019re still generally trying their best to do what\u2019s right for the company.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"left\"><p>Every one of your employees is a volunteer. They don\u2019t have to work for your company; they choose to join your mission every day.<span id=\"tweetquote\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=http:\/\/bit.ly\/2fvgGyd&amp;via=unreasonable&amp;text=&quot;Every employee is a volunteer. They don\u2019t have to work for you, they choose to.&quot; @chrisyeh\"><i class=\"fa fa-twitter\"><\/i> Tweet This Quote<\/a><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>During this holiday season, take the time to see your employees as ends in and of themselves, rather than as the means to an end. Don\u2019t do nice things for your employees to boost their engagement and productivity; do it because it\u2019s the right thing to do. Most importantly, engage with them as human beings, not as tools. Find out what\u2019s important to them outside of work, and see how you can help them. Maybe it\u2019s buying them something they might never buy themselves, like a gift certificate for a date night. Maybe it\u2019s giving everyone an extra day off for holiday shopping. Whatever it is, demonstrate that you respect who they are outside the office, not just their professional role.<\/p>\n<h2>Your Friends and Family<\/h2>\n<p>Take the time to reconnect with your friends and family. These are the people in the world who truly love you and want the best for you (even if they\u2019re sometimes wrong about what that \u201cbest\u201d really is\u2014sorry Mom!). When you decided to start a company, you signed them up for a roller coaster they never really agreed to ride. Because they care, they\u2019ve been dragged along for your ups and downs, and they\u2019ve been the people who picked you up when you got discouraged or exhausted.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"right\"><p>All your friends and family really want is the thing you haven\u2019t been giving them \u2013 your time.<span id=\"tweetquote\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=http:\/\/bit.ly\/2fvgGyd&amp;via=unreasonable&amp;text=&quot;All your friends and family want is what you haven\u2019t been giving them \u2013 your time&quot; @chrisyeh\"><i class=\"fa fa-twitter\"><\/i> Tweet This Quote<\/a><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>All they really want is the thing you haven\u2019t been giving them \u2013 your time. If these are the most important people in your life, show them that you care by spending more time with them than with your CFO. When you\u2019re with them, give them your whole attention. You might even want to turn off Slack notifications for an hour or two. They understand that this time is temporary, and soon you\u2019ll be back to working day and night to build your business. But occasionally, you have to remind them of the reasons why they decided to care so much about you to begin with.<\/p>\n<h2>Yourself<\/h2>\n<p>Finally, don\u2019t forget to thank yourself. If you don\u2019t do it, who knows who will? While the other folks on this list have supported you along the way, you were the one who made the decision to start your company, and every morning, you make the decision to keep going. <\/p>\n<p>As my friend <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Reid_Hoffman\" target=\"_blank\">Reid Hoffman<\/a> puts it, starting a company is like jumping off a cliff and assembling an airplane on the way down. Making the leap requires incredible courage; completing the airplane before you hit the rocks at the base of the cliff takes incredible skill (and incredible luck). Be thankful that your life experiences gave you the confidence and conviction to make this choice and the know-how to back it up.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"left\"><p>Starting a company is like jumping off a cliff and assembling an airplane on the way down.<span id=\"tweetquote\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=http:\/\/bit.ly\/2fvgGyd&amp;via=unreasonable&amp;text=&quot;Starting a company is like jumping off a cliff and assembling airplane on way down&quot; @reidhoffman\"><i class=\"fa fa-twitter\"><\/i> Tweet This Quote<\/a><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You might be lucky enough to have investors or friends and family who tell you when you need to take a break, but then again, you might not. Make the commitment to show some gratitude to yourself, so that someone is looking out for you. Take the time to exercise \u2013 it will make you happier, healthier, and more productive. Set aside a few hours to do something that you truly enjoy. If you don\u2019t remember what you enjoy, think about what you loved doing in your childhood.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re an entrepreneur, you\u2019ve been truly blessed. You have the opportunity to pursue your dreams with the support of so many around you, including your investors, customers, employees, and friends and family. Take the time to thank them for their support.
