What does prosperity mean to you?

I am still reeling from the amazing QB Connect event and have one question that I continue to mull over in my head. I was asked on the spot in an interview, 'What does prosperity mean to you?' 

 

Honestly, I was taken a bit off guard as I hadn't put too much thought into it to share a profound thought on the topic. I believe, I answered something of the likes to, "It's an abundance of spirit, when it grows within you, you can then share it with others." Perhaps not as eloquent as this...but the sentiment. I heard a few other fellow vendors...one stuck out and said, 'Happiness'. I love that.

 

I'm curious...how do you define prosperity?

The luxury of being able to to have comfort in my ability to provide for my family and accomplish my goals. As well as support my family in their goals. 

 

Or the less dreamy, fluffy version. I want to be able to walk into a Porsche dealership, and choose not to buy something because I don't like Porsche, not because I can't afford it.

Thank you @jmisunas for asking this question! I had to really think about how I wanted to put my answer into words. 

 

With financial prosperity, we are able to share the wealth by giving to charity, purchasing items from businesses and supporting our economy. If we focus on building self-love and confidence, that abundance will overflow and we can spread the love onto others. :heart:

It may be a simple answer, but I think finding wholeness in whatever you do or pursue is prosperity. The world can be a challenging place, some of us will have more financial "success" than others, a few of us might get lucky and know exactly what we want to do with our lives from day 1.

 

I think if you are satisfied with who you are and understand that being you, in that moment, in that space (all an imperfect exercise) is valuable, then you've found prosperity. It's the lifelong pursuit!

Hey Joanna! I’m so sorry I didn’t get to say hi in person at QB Connect. Every time I came by your booth, you were packed! Good problem to have. (And I’m ready to help with your Portland box!!).

For me, prosperity means alignment. Alignment with what makes my heart sing, with what enables me to provide, with my community, and through service. Thanks for the amazing question!

Hi Joanna! Great meeting and speaking with you at QB Connect. Love this question. For me, prosperity includes ease, laughter, creativity and productivity. And a good night's sleep. :-)

Leslie!  Oh, I know, it would have been great to see you lovely self...however, I absolutely understand the demands of an event like this. You were sweet to have Willow send on your hello! :)   Great! I'm thrilled you will be a resource for the Portland box!  Thank you!

 

Ahh...YES!  I really resonnate with 'makes my heart sing'. I think we often don't stop to slow down and tune in to that energy to make sure it's in true alignment for us. As when we are...that is pure flow of life. Community and service...wonderful!  Just by being with Intuit, you are doing that for the small business, which I appreciate whole heartly! So thank you!  And, I can't take credit for the question...that was from your lovely circle at Intuit. A great question indeed!  Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

When I was younger I thought of prosperity in a materialistic way. however, now married with two children and running my own business. Prosperity is the luxury of living comfortbaly (vacationing when I want, no luxury cars, bills and mortgage current, and the ability to attend family functions) while working my passion. 

 

Passion is prosperity. Work that passion so that you can become prosperous!
