The Power of Appreciation

by | Apr 25, 2025 | Entrepreneur Tips

The Power of Appreciation – Hey friends, it’s Angel with another episode of Finish Strong Friday—and today’s message is simple but powerful: Appreciate the people who make your business possible.

This week we celebrated Administrative Professionals Day, and it’s a day that’s deeply meaningful to me personally. In truth, every day should be a day we honor those who support our businesses behind the scenes.

The Heartbeat of Every Company

In my opinion, the executive assistants, administrative assistants, and business partners are the most important people in any company.

Why?
Because they:
✅ Support operations behind the scenes
✅ Keep things running smoothly when no one’s watching
✅ Step in quietly to solve problems before they even reach you

And let’s be honest—without them, many of our businesses simply wouldn’t function.

I know this from two perspectives:

  • I started my career as an administrative and executive assistant.
  • Now, as a business owner, I rely on incredible team members who fill these vital roles.

You need both perspectives to truly understand how essential they are.

Appreciation Isn’t a Task—It’s a Leadership Mindset

Appreciation isn’t something to check off once a year.
It’s an ongoing, intentional practice.

When you take a moment to genuinely recognize and thank someone, it can:
🌟 Boost morale
🌟 Strengthen loyalty
🌟 Encourage deeper engagement

It doesn’t have to be elaborate. Sometimes a simple, heartfelt “I appreciate you” makes a world of difference.

Your Finish Strong Friday Challenge

Before you end this week, pause and ask yourself:

Who can I appreciate today?

✅ A team member
✅ A partner
✅ A colleague who always steps up

Take 30 seconds to send a text, an email, or a quick thank-you call. It’ll make a bigger impact than you realize.

The Power of Appreciation.
