This Thanksgiving, I’d like to share a few thing that I am thankful for, both in business and personal life.

1. My faith. Out of respect for others and their beliefs, this is not something that I bring up too often without invitation. However, I would like to take the opportunity to express my gratitude for my knowledge of Jesus Christ and His plan for us. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Chris of Latter-day Saints and my testimony of this faith and the happiness it brings to me is something I am incredibly thankful for. It is the foundation for my life and guides my way in all things. I am grateful that I have had the opportunity to choose to believe and that I live in a country that offers me the freedom to worship as I see fit.

2. My friends and family. I have been very blessed to have a fantastic group of friends and a family that loves me. My life is constantly enriched by all the conversations, arguments, and great times I share with friends and family.

3. My team at SpinWeb. The people I work with are incredible. They are the smartest, most dedicated, most ethical people I know and our success is a result of their efforts. Our team is among the best in the city and I am grateful every day that I can rely on them. They care about our clients and about each other and it shows.

4. My clients. Without terrific clients, SpinWeb would not exist. Our clients truly “get it” when it comes to online marketing. They listen to us, they communicate with us, and they respect us. Our clients are progressive, forward-thinking business owners, marketing professionals, and executives who have a strong desire to build a better business and go to the next level. I learn a great deal from my clients and I am deeply grateful for the trust they place in me and my team.

5. My country. I am proud to live in the United States and am extremely grateful for the freedom and way of life that I enjoy here. Though certainly not perfect, this country offers unprecedented opportunities for business and personal achievement and I feel very fortunate that I have been able to live here and start a business here.

Thanksgiving is certainly a time for great food and friends and family, but it is also nice to reflect on what we are blessed with and thankful for. Soon I also hope to be thankful for warm pumpkin pie with vanilla ice cream Happy Thanksgiving!
