Gratitude is an Attitude

Hi Goal Getters, I really want to thank you for being with me today for this episode. This is our 39th weekly episode of Goal Getting Podcast.

It is also the day before Thanksgiving here in the United States. I, thankfully, have a four day weekend coming up. My department at work doesn't have to work on Thursday or Friday, and we have the usual Saturday and Sunday off. This is a great break from work.

If you want to learn more about the "Thanksgiving" holiday and why it is celebrated you can Google it. This episode is not about the holiday itself but the attitude that I believe we should have during this time of celebration.

To me, I believe it is a time for having gratitude. To me Gratitude is an Attitude. I believe I should have be grateful for the things I have, whether it be physical, material possessions, health, a sound mind, everything, including life. Having Gratitude is one thing that will set us up for leading a rich life, a life of significance and purpose.

So I am going to reflect on some of the things I am grateful for this year and some that I am always grateful for.

I am grateful for you, for listening to my podcast. If you didn't come to listen, I would have no reason for doing this show. My goal in starting Goal Getting Podcast was to be able to share the things I have learned about setting goals effectively so that we can change our subconscious mind into a Goal Getting Machine.  I have learned through training in hypnosis and hypnotherapy various techniques that can reprogram a subconscious mind that has limiting, goal stifling beliefs into a mind that will allow you to draw success and achievement to you.

I am grateful for the additional listeners that started listening to the podcast after I started doing the Goal Getting Quote of the Day on July 1st. I know that I am inspired by quotes that I hear or read and wanted to share some of those quotes with you to help inspire or keep you motivated. I felt that talking about these quotes and what they mean to me and how they inspire or effect me might help people that listen.

When I started the podcast on my birthday in February, I hoped it would do well. I made it to iTunes New & Noteworthy and was actually able to make it into the top 10 in a couple of the categories I was listed in. I was happy. After the usual 8 weeks on New & Noteworthy, the number of listeners seemed to drop, which is normal. I started thinking about how to reach a greater audience and started the Quote of the Day on July 1st. It has been great. Listeners like you loved it and my audience grew. I was happy and I am still happy.  I was helping more people.

So, Thank You all for listening to the show.

I Am Grateful

I am grateful for the opportunity that I have in this country to be able to do things like this podcast.

I am grateful that I started taking classes in marketing at UC Berkeley Extension in 2013. Had I not started that program, I would not have taken the Social Media Marketing Course taught by Michael Brito ( @Britopian ).

I am grateful for Michael Brito. His teaching style and the information he shared lit a new fire in my belly, a new passion for social media marketing. I also was able to overhear a couple fellow students behind me one class talk about listening to podcasts and that they were on iTunes. If you've listened to some of my other episodes, you know that I did my first podcast in 2004/2005.
