Happy Thanksgiving 2012

By | November 21, 2012

Happy Thanksgiving! I realize that only about half of Eric’s Tips readers are in the USA, but gratitude transcends all borders.

First, I want everyone reading this to know that I’m thankful for YOU. Without you, Eric’s Tips wouldn’t exist.

Here’s a small free gift as a token of my appreciation. It’s a 49-page ebook that I paid to have ghostwritten awhile back, but I never got around to launching it.

I literally paid $600 for it, and it’s been sitting on my hard drive ever since. It’s never been released until today.

So I’m going to let you download it for free WITH Master Resale Rights. I even left it white-label (didn’t put my name on it), so you can sell it or add it as a bonus to any product.

Next, here is the 5th annual Eric’s Tips Thanksgiving contest!

Wow, this is the 5th year we’ve done this!

It’s a good thing to express your gratitude for what you’re thankful for. In fact, it’s been shown to have health benefits.

So once again, we are going to do a group exercise to demonstrate our thankfulness.

All you have to do is post a comment below saying something you’re thankful for. It could be one word, or it could be much more… it’s up to you. If you need some inspiration, feel free to check out the comments from the past four years: 2011 | 2010 | 2009 | 2008

Here is something I’m thankful for…

frozen custard
(My wife, 5 kids, 2 cousins, mother-in-law, and 24 flavors of frozen custard. This was a fun day on one of our road trips, and was a special time because it was the last day we saw my wife’s grandfather before he died.)

Please post a comment below and let us know what you’re thankful for 🙂

Have a great day and a happy Thanksgiving!

    Hi Eric,

    Happy Thanksgiving to you. Although I am from Singapore and we do not celebrate it, I personally think it is a good idea to have a Thanksgiving day.

    I am greatful to have roof over my head, food to eat, water to drink, good education, having an online business and most importantly my family.

    I have been a long time reader of your blog and I learn lots of knowledge just from your blog alone. I am looking forward to your next blog post.

    Happy Thanksgiving 🙂

    Hi Eric

    I am thankful primarily for my health, At 70, I really didn’t think that I would make it THIS far and still be in reasonable nick (for an old boy that is).I also have a LOT to be thankful for, having had a wonderful wife, a healthy, successful son and now 2 lovely grandchildren. I must also be thankful in my semi retirement, for having a nice home in a gated, safe, secure and very comfortable Lifestyle Village community. Despite the foregoing, I can still come and go as I wish and really do wish to take off around Australia with my SUV and caravan,getting OFF the pension and making my living online with just my laptop and spending my spare time becoming a latter day “Crocodile Dundee”. I will be extremely thankful if I actually CATCH any crocodiles and even MORE thankful if it DOSEN’T go the other way around ? ( Dear Oh Dear ?) I WILL of course just let them go – after I have caught them. I will just enjoy the thrill of the chase – and so most probably — will they ?

    I am thankful for a discovery, during a routine health check, that I had a main blocked artery going to my heart. My doctor had me attended by a heart specialist that same afternoon and by 5pm that afternoon I was in the operating room having a stint implanted. My life was saved and could have had a very different outcome if it had not been discovered. I’m very thankful.

    There is soooo much in all of our lives to be thankful for,and many of us are blind to the majority of it because we are so wrapped up in every day life. We tend to take things for granted as a society and forget the really important things like;Thanking a soldier when we see one for the sacrifice they have made,or getting involved in a related activity in your community when you have the opportunity to.Or how many turn a blind eye to the less fortunate of our communities and just choose not to help at all.Or just thanking our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for his sacrifice.I am truly thankful for all of God`s blessings,for His offering of eternal peace,for my family and friends,and for the men and women serving active and non who give unselfishly of them selves that we all keep the rights we enjoy in this country.Thank you to their husbands, wives and mothers and dads who stand with them as support for them in their hour of need. We are all blessed in this country. And for the good folks over at Erics tips.Thanks so much you guys. Ya`ll are an awesome group led by an equally awesome dude.

    Dear God,
    I am thankful that You have afforded us a bountiful final harvest in the midst of a severe drought. You bestowed upon us the strength and ability to radically change our lives and profession as we begin our venture into ecommerce and leave farming behind. May we honor You with the success that You deserve and expect from the opportunity You present. Thank You for opening our eyes to change and suppressing the fear of the same. May Your will be done.

    Firstly, thanks heaps for the Thanksgiving gift. I truly appreciate it.

    After a recent scare, I am thankful to still have my eyesight. You learn to appreciate things a whole lot more, when you are faced with losing something.

    Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Eric, and to all who read this page.

    As Yogi Berra said…”Only in America..”

    I recall even in the middle of financial crisis in America…I could take my walk and still hear the birds chirping, sun shining, and breathe in that clean air of freedom…
    Thanksgiving is Great!
