Another magic month treat you should check out is the film classic “Harvey.”

Based on a Pulitzer prize winning play by Mary Chase, “Harvey” tells the tale of Elwood P. Dowd and his friend – a six foot tall invisible rabbit.

Even though Harvey’s powerful presence remained a key focus of the film, what comes through in spades is the warmth, charm, and overwhelming goodness of the main character, Elwood P. Dowd.

And besides being a totally fun and enjoyable film, there are some nifty little success lessons oh-so-ably demonstrated by the good Mr. Dowd.
1) Get your name out there.

Every time he met someone new, Elwood would pull out and hand over his business card – taking pains to ensure they had the correct contact information.

2) Always look out for the others’ interests.

You wouldn’t find a more “other” focused individual than Elwood. He made sure to take the time to sit, to ask questions, and to listen intently to what others had to say.

And the final simple yet powerful lesson:

3) Give give give

Elwood was always buying drinks for others, offering flowers, holding open doors, picking up the tab, inviting folks over for dinner… making sure other people felt welcome and valued was his greatest gift.

Now, I can’t say for sure whether you’ll spot Harvey hanging out at our office, but I can state without question that we share those same values of giving, sharing, and listening when it comes to helping our clients reach their goals.  Give us a call at 513-563-PLAN (7526) or book online for your free portfolio review today.
