Helping others

Everyday, sometimes just once and sometimes multiple times, I help someone. I help small business owners get the money they need to purchase their inventory, to expand their businesses, to purchase a business or a building. I help someone looking for a loan that cannot qualify improve their business or their credit so they can qualify for a loan in the future. I help an individual or a small business find the right checking account, the right money market account, the right credit card processor, the right cash management product, or the right Internet banking suite to help with their particular need.

Sometimes I give something to someone as simple as a bag of Saffron Rice or a flower cut from my yard just to let that person know I appreciate them and am glad they are apart of my life. Sometimes I sit and listen to a friend, a colleague, a client, or a stranger discuss a problem, an issue, an achievement, or something they experienced. I share that moment with them, listening to them, offering advise if needed, or giving comfort.

Everyday I smile at perfect strangers and they smile back. Everyday I waive at someone I know and they waive back. Everyday, in little ways and big ways, I help someone and someone helps me back.

Helping others gives me purpose and fulfillment.
