Making A Difference As We Make A Living — Why Not?

Making A Difference

As We Make A Living… Why Not?

While Sitting In Church…

After spending a typically enjoyable morning in church and listening to a great message, my older than it used to be body calculated that it could be about time to exit the area, but the pastor sharing with us the message decided to share something else…

A Video

During the process of explaining how a team of from our church returned to Karogoto, Kenya to help out in an effort there to be a blessing to others, he…

  • Shared the video
  • Gave an explanation of what was going on there.
  • In the process raised his hand and told about a bracelet he had — and that we could wear as well.
  • And if any of us felt comfortable in sharing only five dollars to make a difference in the lives of others in Kenya, we could do that by giving…

Only Five Bucks.  Just Once.

Now here’s one of the neat parts: if you gave your five dollars, you received a bracelet with a child’s name of it from Kenya that was personally written by a child there.

And…

You signed your name to a bracelet and they would then be worn by children there as well as kind of a “bridge” between the folks there and those that had given from around the world.

(Side Note: It is my understanding that the exchanging of bracelets is not available through online donations)

You Can See It Here…

Okay, click here to see what I’m talking about –> ThinkBigStuf
Everything is explained much better than me trying to share it with you. Please take time to watch the short, inspiring video. But my point is...

“We Can Strive To Make A Difference While Striving To Make A Living”

  • No, I am not saying we have to do it at this location.
  • And this is not some type of poorly crafted guilt trip to say we must give.

But what I am saying is that as I saw that, and as I am wearing my yellow bracelet thinking about what transpired in church, I am saying…

Maybe my sharing here might find someone else who says…

  • “Yep, that’s me.”
  • “My heart is there.”
  • “I could do that.”
  • “I think I just will!”

Or your responses might following this line of thinking:

  • “That gives me another idea.”
  • “Maybe I could…”
  • And you are off making a difference in your own unique manner in your own unique place…
  • While influencing others to do the same.

No Pressure.  Just A Thought.
That’s it.  My small contribution to making a difference as of today’s date.
Maybe yours will take the form of a compliment given, a resource shared, a helping hand to someone who needs some marketing help, a child who needs attention, a spouse who needs encouragement, or someone else who needs to hear “the hard things said” in order to move forward in life.
Or…
You enjoyed the thoughts and feel in your heart: “Nice thoughts, but I’m on my own journey today and it does not include the whole ‘making a difference’ idea.  At least not today, at this time or in this place.”  And that is how I would want you to feel: content and rejoicing at the heart level during this stage of your life.
Either way: fine!

And By The Way, If You Would Enjoy Being An Encouragement

if by any chance you would decide to share five dollars or pass on the idea/link to others, it would be cool to reply and let me know here. At least cool to me!

You kinda no my mantra in this post: “No pressure. No guilt. Only as you might feel comfortable.”

But as I was creating this post, I thought: “Why not see if anyone would not only share in some way but share a simple ‘I enjoyed that and I _________’ response of some sort.

But beyond that…

  • Does this give you any creative ideas for “making a difference while making a living?
  • Would the thoughts prompt any journal entry for some reason or another?
  • Maybe the video itself just gave you a ton of ideas on how to market something you have been thinking about creating?
  • And what about your own blog post?  Give you any ideas?
  • Or, possible, this prompted an idea or two relative to family developing and the whole idea of “giving back” as it is termed.

May these brief words of mine prove to be a blessing for you and those you love in one way or another.

Stay Motivated! An Inspirational Handbook For Attraction Marketers by Lee Wise

This is a brief video introduction to my new ebook entitled…

Stay Motivated!
An Inspirational Handbook For Attraction Marketers

Stop for just a few moments to see what I have to say in the video.  But first ask yourself several questions:

  • Do you find yourself finding it hard to “stay in the game” at times?
  • Do you value short, doable and very hands on material to help you become all that you desire to become in your attraction marketing journey?

If so, I suggest that you listen to the video below and travel on over to http://attractionmarketinghandbook.com or clicking on the tab at the top entitled “Attraction Marketing Handbook” to read more.

And remember as well…

  • Do not hesitate because you don’t happen to be an “Attraction Marketer.” Honestly, while it is written to and for those who love and appreciate attraction marketing, it can help many people.
  • Do stop long enough to hear what I say if you love and appreciate the art of self development.
  • And very definitely take several moments if you love and appreciate Attraction Marketing: it is written for you.

An Attraction Marketing Excellence Quote: The Importance Of Purpose

An Attraction Marketing Excellence Quote: The Importance Of Purpose

You cannot be around this blog long without realizing my strong feelings revolving around the subject of on purpose living.  Not that I have that subject nailed down by a long shot, but I honestly do work at trying to make my life count as best as I possibly can.

I trust that the short quote below will be a small motivation in your world to keep refining what you would like to do and why you would like to do it.

Drilling A Bit Deeper

  • Should you be in a business setting where you have a significant say in what goes on in your area(s) of responsibility, have you defined your purpose as much as you would like or feel you need to do?
  • In the area of attraction marketing, much talk revolves around creating a marketing funnel — which, in effect in my opinion, centers around a defining a specific purpose for an email series, home page, or sales page, etc.  Are you moving in the right direction with regards to your purpose in this area?
  • Do you feel creating a mission statement for business or your personal life might be helpful at this time?
  • Should you decide to create a statement, what values would you identify that would give meaning to the statement you might create?  Could you list the top five?
