When it comes to making a difference or achieving our goals we can fail with the first step. Forget figuring out what you need, figure out what you're already doing that can be leveraged.

1. You already have what it takes
to make a big impact

2. At some point all of us
dream of doing something
good for the world, right?

3. But most of us find we’re
already stretched too thin
with our current commitments
or that we lack the skills,
resources, and tools to make
our vision happen.

4. But what if we’ve got it
backwards?

5. You probably already have a
passion, hobby, or skill that
can be leveraged to achieve
your goal.

6. I had the opportunity to go
to Kenya with my job but had
to come up with $3,500 in 4
weeks to make it happen.

7. I didn’t want to canvas, had
no time to throw a big
fundraiser, and had nothing
to auction off.
How was this going to
happen?

8. Instead of trying to come up
with a way to fundraise, I
looked at what I was already
doing that could get me to
my goal.

9. I love baking vegan desserts
and decided to see if anyone
was interested in ordering
them.

10. I made $ 3,000 in 4 weeks.

11. While I was in Kenya I met my
friend Rubie and decided I
wanted her to come visit me
in Vancouver.

12. I created another vegan
dessert menu and fundraised
enough money in 4 weeks to
bring her here.

13. Everyone has a skill or hobby
that can be used to achieve
goals. You’re going to fail or
work too hard if you try to
achieve something by trying to
obtain what you ‘need’.
STOP

14. What are you already doing
that can get you what you
want?
