Do you want to make a big Impact on a small number of people, or a small impact on a large number of people?

Sometimes people say to me, “You do videos, courses, programmes, a lot of stuff online that reaches lots of people. I'd love to do that, but I don't seem to have the time, I have other things going on in life.”

Sometimes I reply, “Well, I don't have children. I have puppies.”?

That enables me to work more towards having a small impact on a big number of people.

Maybe these Daily Uptimisms impact you in some little way now and then.?

Whereas for parents, or people that run a small business, they have a big impact on a small number of people.?

They're bringing up new citizens, new humans.

They're creating a business that feeds a family of three.?

They're having a big impact on a small number of people.

I don't think it matters which way you choose, which way you go.?

What matters is that you care.

That you're conscious of the impact that you're having.?

That you're choosing to do that for the right reasons.?

I've also seen thought leaders, people who have built a business around their speaking, preaching, teaching, books, only to realise it's not really their jam.?

It's not making them happy, so they go on to run a business somewhere else.?

They give it all up, start a hobby farm and love doing that.

There's a couple out near me who were corporate and decided that the impact they'd have on the world is rescuing abandoned farm animals.?

They have an amazing sanctuary, and they make a huge difference in the lives of those little little goats and lambs and cows and horses.?

Are you someone who wants to make a big impact on a small number of people, maybe just your family and your friends?

Or do you want to make a small impact on a lot of people??

Maybe you can become an internet sensation. Instagram, Tik Tok. It doesn't matter - the choice is yours.?

But no matter what you do, whether you're conscious of it or not, you do make an impact on others.?

What you do matters.?

You're always making an impact, whether you mean to or not.?

Everything you say and do has an impact, has a ripple out into the world.

The choice is yours for what that ripple, that impact looks like, feels like and who's in the circle.?

Whatever you do, just make a good choice and be conscious.?

Choose to do what you do.?

Whether you're a doctor and you impact the patients that come to you, whether you are a writer and you write a best selling novel that goes around the world.?

It doesn't matter.?

Just choose you, do you and be conscious of the impact you have each and every day.
