As we enter Thanksgiving week, I want to take a moment to tell each and every one of you how grateful my team and I are for your support this year. Smile today knowing that you help us get our message out and motivate us to work hard at sharing ideas that can help us all grow our businesses and ourselves.

This year, we’ve been able to see your smiling faces at GROW! 2020, the Grunder Landscaping Co. Fall Field Trips, and most recently at the ACE Summit. You’ve also pivoted with us to virtual events, and invested in training your teams even as you’re frantically working to overcome the challenges this year has presented. You’ve recommended our events to your friends in the industry, sent us words of encouragement on social media and over e-mail, and have reminded us of why we are proud to work in the green industry over and over again. This community is special, and everyone’s willingness to share and help each other succeed is inspiring. 

This week my task for you is this: send a quick note to the people who have had an impact on you. Thank the parents and mentors who have helped to grow your business, the friends who help you talk through challenges, the clients who refer you to their friends and family, and anyone else who deserves some appreciation.

Have a happy Thanksgiving!
