Holistic Capital is a powerful concept in the life of an impactmaker. It enables you to be as generous as possible and find the fulfillment you desire.

What’s your purpose? There are no wrong answers but it can be challenging to determine the right one.

Making a positive impact in the world requires you to become someone to whom you strive. It takes a decision to be the best you can be.

Service is proactive. Work is reactive. You have to employ the former to make people feel a special experience.

Generosity is something that involves getting and giving. Teach and learning are an application of those things.

Honesty is the best, but hardest, policy. It’s worth it in the long run but challenging in the moment.

The acronym B.E.A.R. is a great way to explain how to be successful in the positive impact space.

The way you behave is a way of communicating with others. But, did you know it’s also a way to “speak” with yourself?

Impact starts with you. But, you can’t sustain positive work without appreciation for what you do.

You shouldn’t do it for free, but would you?

What kind of value are you providing for the people you serve? You MUST figure out what people need and make sure that what you give is helpful.

The best way to support others is to shift your focus not your skills. You are already great at building something. Keep being great. Now build for others.

I love money because it is an amazing tool. Actually, I love what it can do; not it.

Your relationship with money is a very important part of your life. Treat it as such.

Your organization’s vision is the most important component to success. You and everyone else involved (even those not involved) must have an understanding of why the organization exists. With that knowledge, execution becomes simple.

Ordinary is easy. Extraordinary is hard. Pick the latter to make a positive impact in the world. If you believe the world could be a better place, you’ll to do things differently to make change. Acknowledge the differences we have in the world and use them to make each other better.

Our lives are filled with many trends. We can follow them. Or, we can build our own. We can let others decided what we want to be great at. Or, we can help others be great at what’s most important.

We must learn to use what we’ve learned. We have to “steal” our lessons otherwise we might as well never learn them. Don’t give back what you have gained. Apply it often.

Impactmaking takes courage. You have to be willing to struggle, but it’s worth it. The bad things will roll off you and you’ll be better for it. You’ll be stronger, more successful, and the world we be a better place.

Giveaways are great. We all love free things. But has our society made getting free things too important? Should we pay for value? Companies give away free things in hopes you’ll become a customer. Your charitable giving is not a business. When you give, you should expect nothing in return.

We should be lowering our fences and building bigger tables for people to join us. The blessings that we have can be shared with others to make our world a better place. Making a commitment to selfless behavior is better than having to take selfish action. Take control now and make an impact.

Are you overextending your strengths? Too much of a good thing is bad. Sometimes it’s good to work on another skill. Maybe your weaknesses can be improved upon.
