Is This Your Year To Have More Impact?

Is This Your Year To Have More Impact?

By Ursula Jorch

It's a new year, which means an opportunity for new beginnings.

The beginning of more impact for you and your business.

Impact is more than a mission, more than a purpose.

Impact is where your uniqueness, your unique voice, meets the needs and desires of the world. It's where only you can uniquely contribute in a meaningful and powerful way.

Having impact isn't an accident. It's a decision.

A decision to bring out the best in yourself. To bring out the best in your business.

I've been an entrepreneur for quite a long time, almost 22 years. It's been a great journey of discovering myself, even while I was serving my clients. But it wasn't until I made the decision to focus on impact that I started to have results that really mattered, to me, to my clients and my business, and to the larger world.

Having impact is a decision to take that extra step that impact requires: to step up and out into the world and contribute your best to others.

As I wrote in The Impact Manifesto, I believe that impact is grounded in love. Love for yourself, for others, and for the world in which you live.

Having impact, being a positive influence in the world, touches a deep human need to contribute and change lives for the better.

You can influence how things unfold at that level. And the ripple effect of all of us taking positive action means we can collectively influence the future for the better.

So I invite you to be the change you wish to see in the world. Is this your year to have more impact?

What would that look like, for you? What change do you want to see? How could things improve? How could your business be a vehicle in making that improvement?

You have the opportunity, as a business leader, to be a contributor to meaningful and positive change. You have the opportunity to have impact, maybe on a bigger scale than you're ever imagined.

I invite you to look inside your business, for ways you can have more impact. How are you showing up for your clients? For your team members, even for your suppliers? How can you show up for the people who partner with you to deliver your product or service, so you can together have more impact?

How can you show up in your marketing, in a way that reflects your unique voice? How can you authentically be present for those you serve?

I invite you to look outside your business and see the tremendous opportunities there, for yourself and your business. And even beyond that: for the community and the larger world.

Your impact isn't limited to your business and the influence your business has. Your impact is about your whole life. How are you showing up for the people in your life who matter to you? How are you showing up for the causes that are important to you?

Are you showing up in a way that honors your best, that honors the deep impact that only you can have?

Consider how you can show up as your best, in your business and your life.

We live in interesting times, as the Chinese proverb says, and it can be scary because we don't know what's coming.

You can empower yourself at times like this by focusing on where your best can have impact.

You matter. What you do matters. And what you contribute is a gift to all of us.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
