It’s officially the end of 2021, and the year has flown by just like they always do. This time of year, many people, including Sam Boak, like to take the time to reflect on the previous year and set goals and aspirations for the next. While roofing, siding, gutters, sheet metal, and insulation are what we do here at Boak & Sons, we’re more than just an exterior contracting company. We’re part of a community that supports each other, whether you live in Akron, Cleveland, Pittsburgh or any of the other areas we service. Whether you like to practice setting a New Year’s resolution or just like to set goals in general, Sam Boak wanted to share some of his personal resolutions he would like to implement in 2022.
- Give back to the community.
This one is the same every year. Sam Boak puts giving back to the community at the top of his list of priorities, and carries that through to his employees by getting us involved here at Boak & Sons. We’ve worked with many organizations in the Cleveland, Youngstown, and surrounding areas such as The Salvation Army, Warming Warren, and many more to do our part in giving back. Sam always says that as a business, when you take from the community you have a responsibility to give back. He is encouraging other businesses and even individuals to make plans in 2022 and think of ways that you can give back to your local community.
- Visit your loved ones.
The past two years have shown everyone how precious the time we have with friends and family is. Many of us have experienced loss in the past year or two that will stay with us forever. For that reason, one of Sam Boak’s resolutions is to make time with family an even higher priority for both himself and his employees, and he’s encouraging customers and friends to do the same.
- Be kind.
Kindness is becoming an increasingly popular word in our society today, unfortunately due to a lack of its presence. There are so many opportunities for us to show kindness every day in the simplest ways, such as holding a door for someone, complimenting a coworker, or just simply smiling at someone in passing. If Sam Boak has learned anything in the past year, it’s that life is too short to harbor hate. If there is anything you can do every single day of 2022, be kind.
We would love to hear what your New Year’s resolutions are this year! Visit our Facebook page and let us know what your upcoming goals are. We wish everyone a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year to you and your loved ones.
