I was a bit bored and had decided to clean out a closet where I keep a lot of papers and there it was. This client had landed a good job and in thanking me, she wrote: &#8220;I carry your book, Eliminated! Now What? around like a Bible. It gives me great comfort and reassurance when I falter or self-doubt begins to creep in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That was and is a gift. An important reminder of why I do what I do. A connection. If you&#8217;d like to take my gratitude challenge, think of a person, past or present, who has helped you, and drop them a note. You&#8217;ll rarely know its impact, but do it anyway.
