The Ripples of Intentional Business
The nature of life and business has changed.
Post-2020, the world has reorganized while we each learned something deeper about ourselves.
Intentional, social founders find that what used to work now works better when leading from a higher and deeper perspective that’s functional as they scale like corporate…
…using the adaptability and well-thought principles based on universal product design.
In a time and place where people complain about what’s wrong, you know how to tilt the narrative to make it right.
You embody our tagline, “One ripple can change everything.”
Navigate the complexities of scaling while retaining your core values and integrity is possible when you’re open to making 1º shifts for the most profound efficiencies:
Create an operational framework that addresses your current situation and simultaneously builds your future sustainably and smartly.
Leverage your sense-making strategically to make your solutions more relevant and effective than those entrepreneurs who don’t.
Use your authenticity to communicate and build relationships that create trust in your shared goals by operationalizing your core values.
I believe:
Blending your deeper perspective and business acumen makes it easier to be relevant and resonant with your customers’ needs and allies’ interests, especially the ones they don’t talk about.
That requires a big voice that is responsibly empowered so others to find their own power, too.
Without it, things become a noisy monkey with a machete with no tangible outcome other than self-elevation.
And, the world has enough of those.
It starts with how leading our thoughts, instead of managing them, influence our decisions to take the right action that makes our impact more sustainable.
Goals → Mindset → Decisions→Actions → Others’ Perceptions → Experiences
Some solutionists work on making life in a box easier and prettier…so humans can find their way out of it.
Others, like me, focus on removing the box entirely through truth with solutions so humans can find their way forward.
Both are equally important.
But, here’s the shitty truth about scaling rapidly.
It feels like you’re doing a lot without a lot of confidence even when it’s powered by good humans doing the best they can with what they have.
The tremendous focus and energy needed to get things done quickly separates the original ethos that got you started.
Here’s what to keep in mind to align two opposing elements that cause friction and failure
Relevance: Evidence of your operational fluency:
Applies your capabilities and solutions to your growing company’s culture (by knowing the full context and sequencing of business capabilities).
Directs others’ perception to invest and buy-into the right things (by knowing their stressors, vertically ad horizontally) because your value is solidly embedded into your operations.
Blends business strategy with how you embody your authority in a way that doesn’t feel arrogant or ungrounded to get the most out of your teams.
Essence and Integrity: How you translate your intangible core values into effective actions:
Combine your deeper perspective into your business insight and foresight to unify your teams for mutual wins.
Provide a foundation for sense-making and balance when issues appear as your teams and customers look to you for direction.
Connect the dots that make logical and perpetual sense so your solutions break the patterns that bind humans.
This is what' I’ve found makes it easier.
The big idea behind One ripple can change everything
Ripples symbolize growth towards authenticity and resilience, guiding us to self-renew and thrive while we focus our energy into business frameworks that grow with us.
We’re reminded that purpose is both immense and intimate, informing actions that align with our deeper meaning and sustain the logical elements of owning a business.
Here, the right action is more important than being right, where profit coexists with principles.
“How” you do what you do means everything.
One Ripple shapes operational fluency through how business capabilities are implemented that are good for all humans.
What makes ripples hard:
Complications and inefficiencies become embedded in process implementations when the full context of their future impact are unknown.
This is where things we take for granted and never question replace our unfiltered trust in our mission.
Not knowing truth with solutions causes the misses of clear action, authenticity in control, and confidence without overpowering.
