Great job Ted. Can't wait to read the book Stan. I think you both know how much I agree with you !
CARE is what it's all about. Thanks for all you do to make a difference.

Whut r u talkin bout ?
Thanks Daniel. One of the best I have read in awhile. This is one that should be read by everyone. All politicians and leaders, especially. Fantastic, my friend.
Also, thanks for the RT of my guest post at Ted and Shawns place. Much appreciated.
Take CARE brother.

Love this Ralph. And I love golf too. Shoot about like Bill Dorfman. Ha. Would love to play with you guys sometime. Don't get to play as much as I used to. Like Bill, when I was in Florida (Ft. Lauderdale), I played all the time. I miss it down there. Some nice courses here around Atlanta too. Thanks for writing about golf Ralph. Take CARE brother. Maybe we will actually speak or skype one of these days.

@Lori Probably wont make it back till November or December. My plan is to move back in the next year or two. Take CARE and enjoy your time away.

Hi Lori. Had to chime in on this one. I LOVE the ocean. Mainly the water and beach in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. I grew up there and hope to eventually move back. I was just at a lake in SC for a quick visit with relatives. Didn't have time to enjoy or take a boat out. A lake is nice and I enjoy it, but their is something special about the ocean, salt water, breeze and sun rises, on the southeast coast of Florida. Ahhhhhhh. Can't wait for my next visit. Luv ya.
Big Hug ! and a High 5 !!

Love this Chris. It is all about the CARE. You said it. When you CARE for your people, they will CARE about you. When they feel "A Part of" instead of "Apart From" they will be happier and more productive. Yes, indeed.
Thanks again for this and for the connect on linked in, too.
Take CARE.

Great post Chris. I try and practice the CARE acronym in all my affairs. Communicate, Appreciate, Respect, Encourage. It works.
Thanks again for all you do. take CARE.
Al
Thanks Chris. Communicate is the "C" in CARE. Absolutely critical. When you communicate with your employees, it also keeps them involved and gives them a sense that they are important, they matter and WE are all on the same team.
Take CARE.

Hi Chris. You are definitely hanging with some of my favorite people. love Liz Marshall, Carol Roth, Ted & Shawn and Angela Maiers. All wonderful people. its time for me to join the group. Ha. I have a story to tell. CARE and share with others. Make a difference. "Inspire & Influence Positive Change"
thanks again for what you are doing.
Al
This is so true. Great job Cayce. Following you now. Need to work on a CARE guest post for you, Chris. Thanks again for all you do.

Great list Daniel. Hope all is well with you. The only thing I thought of was, of course to genuinely CARE about people. Ha. and the other one, you kinda covered with #2 Empathetic. and #5 Interesting, made me think of this. "Be Interested" before being Interesting. Like you said, people LOVE to talk about themselves. I we learn to ask relevant and good questions, and LISTEN, the relationship is usually off to a good start. Make it about them.
Thanks brother. This is going on my favorite list as a reminder.
Al
Absolutely. Its all practice. My favorite is from Angela Maiers of "You Matter" fame. http://www.angelamaiers.com/ She and her message are awesome. I spoke with her on the phone a few weeks back. A giving, humble and Caring person. Thanks again.
Of course, I would attend yours. And yes, a TED talk is on my to do list. This title might be a bit long, but here goes mine; "Positive change in your life is possible and a little CARE goes a long way"
Thanks Lori. High 5 and a Hug !
