090: The Surprising Reasons to be Thankful as an AEC Marketer

It’s Thanksgiving week in the US which makes many of us think about what we are thankful for. And, often that includes our jobs – even after very tiring and stressful weeks.You may have heard that if you are outwardly grateful—meaning saying or writing the items you are grateful for—your mood and mindset will change to be more positive. I thought this was a little too “kumbaya” for me. However, I just realized this for myself. I plan to be more outwardly grateful for other parts of my life as well—family, home, friends, and myself.And that starts with this episode.Even with all the stress, deadlines, and sometimes lack of respect we are given, this is often a thankless job. What can I possibly be thankful for as a marketing professional working in the AEC industry? That’s why I stopped to think about some reasons why and recorded them for this episode. And when I took a few moments to do this, it just started pouring out of me. I hope some of my reasons resonate with you or make you stop and think about just what our industry provides us. It isn’t always rainbows and kittens, but it is amazing with the right perspective.And, THANK YOU for listening and supporting me with this podcast. The ratings, reviews, and emails I get fuel me to keep going. I started Marketers Take Flight to support AEC marketers and I’m so grateful that 10 years later, I am still able to do that. And that’s because of you. Have a very happy Thanksgiving and thank you for listening. 🚀Ready to take your content marketing game to the next level?Join me for my popular masterclass: 3 Effective Strategies to Boost Your AEC Firm’s Online Presence!
