It’s a new year, and that means there’s a chance for all of us to start fresh! For 2015, this has manifested as the “Pay it Forward” initiative. Some of you may have seen the following message floating around your social media:
“I'm participating in the 'Pay it Forward' initiative: The first five people who comment on this status with "I'm in" will receive a surprise from me at some point between now and a year from now - anything from a book, a ticket, something homemade, a postcard, absolutely any surprise! There will be no warning and it will happen when the mood comes over me and I find something that I believe would suit you and make you happy. These five people must make the same offer on their Facebook status. Once my first five have commented "I'm in" I will forward this message to you privately, so that you can copy and paste it, and put it on your status, (don't share it) so that we can form a web of connection of kindness. Let's do nicer and more loving things in 2015, without any reason other than to make each other smile and show that we think of each other. Here's to a more enjoyable, friendly and love filled year!”
We recently saw the above posted to the Facebook pages of two SMB Nation Community members, Keith Nelson and Xavier Canez, and it really rang true for us. The SMB Nation Team encourages you all to take the initiative to make someone smile this year!
