How Gratitude Makes a Difference at Get Simple Box: The Story Behind Thankful Thursday

Why Gratitude is Often Missing in Business and Life

In today’s world, gratitude is often overlooked. Why? Many of us fall into the trap of believing we’re entitled to more than we have—whether it’s recognition, success, or material things. This mindset can lead to frustration and dissatisfaction, making it hard to appreciate the good in our lives. In my own experience, I’ve seen how easy it is to fall into this mindset during networking events or conferences, where discussions about success often pivot to frustrations over what we don’t have—better employees, more funding, or fewer regulations.

Yet, Craig Groeschel wisely points out, “Everyone gets better when the leader gets better.” In my case, that also means that everyone gets better when the Leader gets better at being grateful. 

At Get Simple Box, adopting a gratitude in business leadership approach has encouraged us to appreciate what we have, rather than complaining about what we don’t. It sounds crazy to say, but practicing Thankful Thursday, has actually improved our business and the way we connect with everyone around us – customers, vendors, co-workers, and even competitors!

Gratitude as a Hallmark of Our Business

Being thankful has also changed how we handle problems at Get Simple Box. Instead of feeling upset, we see each problem as a chance to do something great. This new way of thinking helps everyone get excited about finding solutions that even our competitors might not think of.

When we face a challenge, our team doesn’t just complain. We get together and think of smart ways to solve it. Everyone throws out ideas, and we all pitch in to make things better. This has made our team stronger and more creative.

“Instead of seeing problems as a bad thing, we now get excited about the opportunity to find solutions,” I always say. This positive attitude has helped us grow. It makes us work better together and shows our customers that we really care.

At Get Simple Box, we aim to be more than just a great container company. We want to be known as a company full of grateful people. This goal shapes everything we do, from how we talk to each other to how we serve our customers.
