For the beginning of this week, we should be thinking about the things that we are grateful for. There's the obvious stereotypical good health and family and friends, but let's take it a step further. What are some of the business reasons we are happy to be here in the United States? I made a list of 50. It's on the radio website. I'll share some of the preview with you in just a second.

So the list, Top 50 Reasons to Be Thankful as a Business Owner or an Entrepreneur, number 12 on the list: you get to build something that lasts longer than you and is perhaps greater than you. I love writing a book and putting stories in it that my children or grandchildren could read 50 or 100 years from now, or building a business that has an impact on many people's lives or tomorrow.
