Over the years I've written that saying "Thank you" is something that you can never say enough to clients and prospects (family and friends as well of course).
With that in mind here are some people I would like to thank publicly for something they have done to help me in 2012. I'm limiting this list to people that have helped me this past year in the professional realm.
I know this list is incomplete because there is somebody I forgot as I'm trying to remember this off the top of my head.
If you are that person please know that I'm thinking about you and appreciate your efforts in working with me and for all you have done for me!
In no particular order:
