Read this if you want to feel alive, fulfilled & prosperous in your business journey...in a way that's easy & free...even if you're just getting started

As I sit doing my morning routine (I use GrowthDay), and as I read the prompt, my heart was full and beaming.

Here's the prompt: "If one word could describe the kind of person I want to be today, then that word is ... and I chose it because ..."

My word is MAGNANIMOUS. I chose that because, not only was it the perfect word for how I was feeling (I wanted to even expand it & make it bigger), but it was drilled into me and beautifully modeled by my teacher Toni Stone.

Here's the definition:

Magnanimous means generous, forgiving, and noble, especially towards a rival or someone less powerful. It describes someone who is big-hearted, not petty or resentful.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

GRATEFUL: Gratitude is a fundamental habit and mindset that makes everything better, and how you feel about anything. We may not have control over what happens, but what we do with what happens...well THAT IS HUGE. Gratitude is also magnetic. Have you ever noticed that the most grateful people somehow have the best luck, and things just seem to work out for them?
GENEROUS AND KIND: Magnanimous individuals are not stingy or selfish. They are willing to give freely of their time, resources, or forgiveness.
FORGIVING: A key aspect of magnanimity is the willingness to let go of grudges and resentments, even when someone has wronged you.
NOBLE: Magnanimous people are often described as having a noble character. This implies a sense of honor, integrity, and a commitment to doing what is right.
NOT PETTY: Magnanimous people are not preoccupied with trivial matters or small slights. They have a broader perspective and are not easily offended.
Examples: A magnanimous person might, for example, offer words of encouragement to a competitor who has just defeated them, or they might forgive someone who has deeply wronged them.

If you're wondering 'How is being MAGNANIMOUS (grateful; generous & kind; forgiving; noble; not petty) going to help me be more prosperous in my business', then keep reading.

I chose MAGNANIMOUS because it has a super power that lasts and bleeds into all areas of our lives...and...when we show up as MAGNANIMOUS, it has multiple benefits:

it grows/builds our self esteem and confidence - and even protects it
it guards against/displaces that negative inner voice we all have (you know the one - it's that ego/shit-talker; strange how we wouldn't tollerate someone speaking that way to a loved one, but we sometimes do it to ourselves)
we make the world a better place...for real, when we show up MAGNANIMOUS
its the force that inspires us to do the right thing for the right reasons...even and especially when it's hard
we are a force for good in the world
it helps us be more mindful, present and self aware
we are more likely to stop >> think >> then consciously respond instead of reacting unconsciously
you will get more new clients
more of your existing clients will renew and stay with you (reduce churn) - and that is $$$$$
you will get more people referring you - and everyone wants that
when we are MAGNANIMOUS we are less easily offended. So many people are walking around looking for opportunities to be offended. And being easily offended is a terrible way to live (crappy quality of life)
and how awesome is KINDNESS? It's just awesome. One of my favorite social channels "On The Road With Steve Hartman", where he documents everyday humans going out of their way to do incredible acts of kindness. It fills my heart to the point of tears every time I watch it.
