BE KIND
To put it lightly, the world can be an unkind place. The business world in particular can be competitive and uncompromising, requiring grit, tenacity, persistence... and also kindness?

Yes, researchers and business experts say kindness can actually play a big role in your career and business success, from improving your ability to network to inspiring a company culture centered around customer service.

Kindness is also contagious, meaning your helpful words or actions can have a ripple effect on those around you, often magnifying the impact of any good gesture. Sounds like a pretty good investment to me!

Of course, practicing kindness towards ourselves is also important, especially for entrepreneurs. And bonus: a little self-compassion can actually boost performance.

So we leave you with a challenge to practice one act of kindness today -- to a colleague, a friend, a family member, or yourself.
