Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is clear – altruism matters! I’ve shared a lot about how much it means to me – in particular, and how it drives my decisions in business and life. When it comes to the importance/power of of living selflessly, one of the people I look up to is Scott Harrison. Who is the founder of Charity: Water. Like myself, Scott's past includes a firestorm of heavy partying, late nights, drugs, and a merry-go-round of banal hedonism. Rising from the ashes, he made a massive change to his life – which led him to to the innermost villages of the poorest regions of Africa. There he learned of the world's striking water crisis – which led him to dedicating his life to finding a solution to that very problem. In this podcast I share 10 lessons that I have learned from Scott in the building one of the most widely known and efficiently run charities on the planet. The latter part of the show I share 11 models of evolved enterprises that for profit businesses can employ to “bake in” impact into every sale. Including examples, as well as how I'm currently using the Evolved Enterprise Model to build my social calling: The Vigor DREAM Project. Let's go. IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN: 1. Why fast cars, big houses, pretty acquaintances and partying, will NOT lead to fulfillment or happiness. And the question to ask yourself when seeking purpose. 2. Why you should never burn bridges because you never know which connection will become a collaboration or a helping hand when you need it most. My tips and lessons to building great connections. 3. Why you need to be willing to risk some money to make money. 4. Why if you want to earn freedom, you to risk some of your time. 5. What you truly need to succeed, and why you need to lose your ego to become a master. 6. Why people don’t buy with their minds, they buy with their hearts, and how Scott told stories people connected with. 7. How to use radical transparency in your business to not only create trust and more social impact, but grow your business. 8. The perspective you need to take and things you need to do when you fail so that you can come out on the other side a winner. 9. The secret to VIP’s and how to treat people. 0. The 11 impact models of “baking in” impact with every sale including buy one give one, direct impact, all in, give what you want, and 7 others that you can use for your for profit business to make a difference in your community, while differentiating yourself in your marketplace and increasing sales.
