Whiskers the Cat found herself curled up on the couch, watching the family prepare for the big Thanksgiving dinner. The sweet smell of roasted turkey filled the air, and the sound of laughter echoed throughout the house. As the table was set, Whiskers couldn’t help but feel grateful for another year of family, food, and fun. But there was one thing missing... her spot at the table! Maybe next year, she thought. But then again, 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘰𝘥—𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭.

Let’s call it what it was, a lunch that hit all the right notes. From first-timers to seasoned pros, the room didn’t just show up, they delivered. Conversations ran deep, laughs ran loud, and nobody even noticed the clock. This one? Definitely for the books. #NetWorkWise #BuildingConnections #NetworkingDoneRight #ConversationsThatMatter #MeaningfulConnections #OneForTheBooks

It's the First Friday of the year and I could not let it go by without celebrating #weeklywins What did you accomplish this week? Large or small every bit counts towards progress. For me: I started January off with booking a few meetings. Refreshed my talk tracks so I can uncover more of the prospects pain. Organized my social media accounts a little better. Cooked a hearty meal for New Year's Day (and still have leftovers tonight so I don't have to cook...now thats a W!!) What were your wins this week?

Today, as I celebrate my birthday, I received the most unexpected and delightful surprise a money cake from one of my cherished clients, the incredible CEO of Bake4Me LTD, Brenda Sekabembe. Beyond the edible beauty of the cake itself, this thoughtful gesture reminded me of some priceless lessons about business, relationships & life. From working with her, I’ve learned that success isn’t just about the products or services you offer,it’s about the emotional connections you create. Her cakes don’t just taste amazing,they tell stories, evoke memories & celebrate milestones. Isn’t that what every business should aim for? She’s shown me that consistency is the key ingredient for growth. Whether you’re baking a cake or building a business, you must show up, deliver quality & sprinkle some creativity on top to keep things fresh. But what strikes me most is her generosity & kindness. This money cake wasn’t just a gift,it was a reminder to pour into the lives of others. After all, clients may forget what you said or did, but they’ll never forget how you made them feel. So here I am, not just grateful for the cake but for the invaluable lessons this woman has taught me,through both her work and her actions. How are you adding sweetness & generosity to your own relationships,be it in business or life? #LessonsFromClients #GratefulHeart #BirthdayWisdom #Bake4MeLTD #BusinessAndRelationships #SprinkleKindness

Looking back on memories, I noticed that over the last two years, I’ve shared posts on this day expressing gratitude for our customer count and celebrating our growth. With Thanksgiving around the corner, I’m reflecting on what I’m truly thankful for this year. First and foremost, I’m thankful for a wonderful God who has blessed me beyond measure with health, strength, wisdom, and drive. I’m deeply grateful for my wife, Contea, who has stood by my side through thick and thin (and consistently thin). She’s been my rock and my biggest supporter every step of the way. I’m also thankful for my parents, family, and close friends who have supported me throughout this journey. To our customers: I’m thankful for your trust—not only in me but in the team of people I trust to keep your homes and businesses #pestfree. Your support provides not just a living for my family but also for five other local families. And to my employees: I’m so thankful for each of you. Your hard work and dedication have been instrumental, especially over the last few weeks as we navigate our merger with Swat Team Pest Control. The growth over the last few years has been incredible! Pictured below is the growth of our customer base. What’s not pictured is the growth of our team. In 2022, we had just 2 team members. In 2023, we still had 2 (though we lost one just before Thanksgiving that year), with Sara being the one constant through it all. Now, in 2024, we’re a team of 6! Not only did we double in size—we tripled! I’m so thankful, so blessed, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds. #Growth #Gratitude #Thankful #Blessed #supportlocalbusiness #TailorMadePestControl #CommunitySupport #supportlocal

**25 ‘Lifetime Supply’ Winners Share Their Stories, From Ecstatic to Regretful** Winning a lifetime supply of a product sounds like a dream come true. Imagine never having to worry about running out of your favorite snack, beverage, or even toilet paper. But as the saying goes, “Be careful what you wish for.” Recently, an intriguing discussion unfolded on Reddit where users shared their experiences after winning a lifetime supply of various products. The highs and lows revealed in these stories are both fascinating and eye-opening. For some, the win was a blessing. One Redditor who won a lifetime supply of chocolate bars shared how they have saved hundreds of dollars over the years and have never had to think twice about reaching for a sweet treat. Another winner, who scored a lifetime supply of a popular soda brand, throws the best BBQs in the neighborhood, never running out of drinks to offer. However, not every story had a happy ending. In one case, an individual who won a lifetime supply of a particular brand of cereal found themselves tiring of it after a few months. The cereal boxes piled up, unwanted and unused, leading to a cluttered pantry and even regifting frenzies during the holidays. Another winner, who was overjoyed to win a lifetime supply of toilet paper initially, turned regretful when storage became an issue. They found themselves overwhelmed by the sheer volume of TP that arrived regularly, far more than their household could ever use. These stories shed light on the unexpected challenges and mixed feelings that can come with winning a "lifetime supply" of anything. While the idea seems like a no-brainer – who wouldn’t want their favorite things in endless quantity? – the reality can be quite different. For those considering entering such contests, these stories offer a word of caution: consider what you’re signing up for. It’s not just about the joy of winning but also the practicalities of receiving, storing, and actually using the product over a potentially long period.

Thank you Blue Engine Collaborative for highlighting our CTO Eric Lubbers: Engage publicly on social media or community forums: Responding to reader comments or joining discussions shows that you’re listening and appreciate their input. Earlier this year, The Colorado Sun co-founder Eric Lubbers joined a Reddit discussion about its membership program. He shared insights into the organization’s mission and highlighted The Colorado Sun’s commitment to transparency and user-friendly practices: “We have to earn your monetary support, not trick you into it by hiding news from people who need it… And if anyone has a problem, we handle all customer service in-house with our actual employees who are empowered to help everyone who reaches out (instead of following some corporate policy to stretch everything out).” This transparent, sincere response resonated with readers and sparked a wave of positive feedback (no small feat on Reddit!) The interaction served as a reminder that a direct “thank you” and open dialogue can build trust and reinforce the organization’s dedication to community-driven journalism.
