Nate’s Notes 231: Elyce Arons, Founder of Kate Spade and Frances Valentine | What Elyce Always Tells Her Daughters

What great advice Elyce gave about the value of writing thank you notes. Not only has Elyce written countless thank you notes, but also she has helped countless others write thank you notes through her stationery line at Kate Spade.

After this interview with Elyce, I ordered a box of thank you notes and a pack of stamps. I first wrote a note to thank my wife Keshia for being so wonderful. And then I wrote a note to Elyce, thanking her for coming on the podcast. And just like that, I’m on track for 25 notes in six months when I check back in with Elyce.

I encourage all of you to follow Elyce’s advice as well. By doing so, you will make others’ lives better.

It’s a simple idea. Please take it seriously.
