ACHIEVEMENT
SUCCESS IS MEASURED IN IMPACT.
Key performance indicators are quantifiable values that demonstrate progress toward an objective. While income is important, it is just one measurable KPI.
Personal stories on themes of worth, value, stability, and income are common. Over years of mentorship and training, I’ve noticed trends and developed tools to support clients who are not meeting their income requirements.
Revenue shares an intrinsic feedback loop that is amplified when the focus shifts from income to impact. When a client is not generating proportionate income, the first place to look is impact.
Imagine impact as the moment a stone touches the surface of the water. The ripples that cascade create a rhythm that reaches the shore of even the widest ocean.
In small, still, water impact is obvious even if subtle. In great seas, it compounds to contribute to the largest crashing waves.
At the bottom of the body of water, the floor is also changed.
The surface represents your impact to society. The sandy bottom, rocks and plants are your interior self.
Here are some ways to measure internal impact:
Freedom: you have more time to enjoy the things that bring you knowledge, experience and/or pleasure
Worth: you’re provided moments to build personal values, without judgment
Unlearning: you’re in a safe space to unravel old stories, generational trauma and self-damaging ideas
Faith: opportunities are curated to deepen your connection to your highest self and your Source
Health: you receive increased vitality through stress reduction, mindfulness, nourishment, water, movement
Community: you’re in a support system where you can be ‘yourself’ in (you ‘best’ and ‘worst ‘ self)
Connection: you yield deeper relationships intrinsically and familially
Knowledge: you receive more information, choice and therefore opportunity for personal creation
Influence: you get a direct connection to people, places and ideas that inspire you to think and behave differently
Mental health: you have access to information, ideas and actionable tools to shift your patterns of thinking/feeling, coping and regulating
Habit change: you’re guided in the transformation of day-to-day activities that compound into a greater change
The Natural Law of Correspondence shows that what’s within is also without.
Here are some ways to measure the external impact you have:
Time: you save someone precious hours with your presence, knowledge or offering
Joy: you add value to someone’s life by facilitating offerings that add to their joy and/or reduces their pain
Worth: someone feels seen, heard and understood
Faith: ministry of your own connection encourages another to find theirs
Health: your clients receive increased vitality through stress reduction, mindfulness, nourishment, water, movement
Community: you provide a support system and connection
Wisdom: you offer education in a new or meaningful way
Influence: you inspire others to think and behave differently in a positive manner
Mental health: you provide information, ideas and actionable tools to shift your clients patterns of thinking/feeling, coping and regulating
Habit change: you offer the transformation of day-to-day activities that compound into a greater change
Support: you offer unique opportunities to a person or population who may be underserved
Preservation: you help others create a memory that is lasting and meaningful
While neither of these are comprehensive lists, they are powerful perspectives to consider the impact you are making upon others and within yourself. In mentorship, there are measurable ways to translate these tools into metrics that lead to greater revenue.
Remember, impactfulness is the result of a rootedness is your true nature. The Toolbox offers you the fundamentals to build a strong soil through consistency, certainty and confidence and content that connects.
