Teaching the Value of Gratitude | Episode 212
Gratitude is a game-changer. With it, you learn to recognize what you have and you become humble. But gratitude isn’t something that everyone values…let alone understands easily. Gratitude isn’t often taught, but rather it is learned. But what if that isn’t the case? What if you could teach others its value and start their path with gratitude without giving them harsh lessons?
In this episode of Real Business Owners, Kale explores the concept of teaching gratitude to individuals without resorting to harsh punishments or adversity. He shares a personal anecdote about his son who lacks appreciation for the gifts and blessings in his life. Initially, Kale considered using a temporary removal of privileges to emphasize what his child had been fortunate to have. However, Kale now presents a better approach. Throughout the episode, Kale explains his new idea and delves into the significance of gratitude, not only in the business world but also in life as a whole. He emphasizes the importance of cultivating gratitude and how it can propel individuals to greater achievements in both their personal and professional endeavors.
