No, I’m not talking about another html editor, but:
What You Give Is What You Get
A cool term for which I’d like to thank Eva Abreu and Michele Carroll.
WYGIWYG
Think about it. Business or personal, we truly recieve back what we give to others. If another business owner shows kindness, promotes your business, gives me a tip, I’m naturally inclined to return the favor. When I hear that all important question. “Who do you know that would be good for. . .” guess whose name pops up for a referral.
Flipside, recently in one online business community 3 individuals kept having flame wars with each other, it got quite nasty. Reminded me of bickering kids, each wanting to have the last word. They gave wrote negative words and recieved negative words in return. Not a good business practice.

What You Give is What You Get
My favorite company is SendOutCards. The founder Kody Bateman teaches how it is better to send out to give instead of sending out to get. Develop relationships with your clients, generate customer loyalty.

Aloha Heidi,
Yea, I remember that discussion on WYGIWYG. I didn’t know what it was either and promptly forgot. So I clicked your link to here and now thank you I kinda sorta remember.
But the philosophy behind that is so true. I get so much from the community and can’t give back monetarily, in time, I’m still building a business. I try to give back what I can in the form of product or submitting a site to StumbleUpon which I believe everyone should get involved in, or just word of mouth promoting.
If I get crossed, which doesn’t happen often, I won’t flame anyone but I’ll slowly stop anything I had to do with that organization. The main thing is I keep it to myself.
Have A Great Day!…and…
StayMotivatedForever!

Thanks Yolanda, I’ve heard many good things about stumbleUpon, one day we’ll all be searching such places instead of google.
Now I’ll let a company know if they’ve messed up my order or such and give them a chance to correct the issue. Where customer service is very important, as their response is what will make or break a company’s reputation.
