I’ve been struggling to come up with a goal/cause/mission for 2016. Goal for the community, how do I give back?

One of them which I delivered is the 31 Day Free email course (Sign Up Here). That still not felt satisfying or big enough. Thought of donating money to charities, but that was also not satisfying enough.

Once decided to share half of my workshop content for free or give my workshop for dirt cheap price. All those options were still feeling that I’m trying to sell something, the heart wanted to help but the mind was still trying to make money. It was struggle, a real struggle.

What helped me get my head clear was a weekend away to my holiday house (peace) and the workshop on stress management, I did with some less fortunate people.

It was clear to me after that free workshop that peoples’ THANK YOU and Heartfelt Gratitude towards my effort matters to me more than $$$.

One of the participant came after the workshop and said, you know – “no one has ever listened to our psychological problems. Just sharing the challenges we face and understanding everyone faces same challenges, reduced our stress by half.”

They were really appreciative of me sitting down with them, the smile and relief from pain was more than the workshop fees to me. It was clear that I should do free work for people, as that is more rewarding to me.

The next question came, I’ve to have a Goal. A goal which is measurable and meaningful. Initially decided to reach out to 5000 people for free with the workshop, although me physically reaching out to that many people in 11 months seemed daunting. I might be able to achieve that goal if the online course was ready. So decided to go with 2000, something is challenging but achievable. If things workout and I achieve this goal early, I’ll be re-calibrating my goal.

There were also thought about finance, the travel, venues, videos, audio all that will cost real money. One time I decided to do Crowd Funding for the cause but decided to do it later. I think the funds I’ve allocated towards this cause will get me to many people. We’ll see how things travel.

For now 2000 seems, great way to start. Get in touch, if you want to be part of mission 2k, I’ll be grateful. Sign Up Here
