Say yes to the challenge


Time to decide on the problem in your local community you can best contribute to solving.

In order to choose it, you have to discover which leaves from the branches of your tree are best nurtured by the roots – which challenges in your community you can best build solutions for, to make your desired reality come true.

Your personal statement may lead you to solve challenges, but how do you know which ones? Map possible paths according to two factors: their potential, the impact and effort required to implement them.

 

Draw on a piece of paper a 2×2 matrix with the impact level increasing from bottom to top and the effort level increasing from left to right. This creates a different impact-effort combination in each quadrant.

High Impact, Low Effort: The best ideas go here!

High Impact, High Effort: Further study is required.

Low Impact, High Effort: Better avoid these.

Low Impact, Low Effort: Further study is required.

Write down on sticky notes the challenges that keep you on the track defined by your Purpose Statement. Then place ideas on the matrix.

Now it’s time take a commitment and to answer one more question:

Focus on - Defining a purpose

I invite you to use a compass, not a map, by being purpose-driven. Throughout this challenge, I’ll encourage you to define your driving force and not let yourself drift aimlessly from one goal to another. The purpose will be your compass, giving you a sense of direction on your entrepreneurial journey. It will remind you of why you’re doing things, help you set achievable goals, and make sure you’re consistent.

About this challenge

You’ll begin this challenge by defining the internal and external resources you’ve gathered so far. Next, you’ll define your personal statement of purpose by reflecting on how and whom you want to help, and which activities you want to do in order to help them. In the end, by linking your strengths and purpose, you’ll discover which local problems you’d enjoy solving, and which will have the most impact.
