Integrate giving whilst still making a living!
I was taught that to do good was to give money to charities. And of course that was what I did! But my blinkers started to come off after I invested some energy into supporting a charity in Thailand for trafficked children. I had always felt a sense of being pulled away from the donation models but to have witnessed it became very exciting for me!
We saw the Non For Profit purchasing land and planting coffee, their vision to then teach the rehabilitated women to become barristers and learn hospitality skills. This opened my eyes and I started to see more and more social enterprise style businesses being formed! Imagine instead of donating $10k into a once off support like feeding children and putting that $10k into a social business that made in excess of $10k a month?
The world is changing, we all know that! But are we changing the way we view giving as well? I would be bold to say no we are not! We still support without questioning models that are not long lasting in their very make up! That is not innovative or smart!
The most common words I hear so many business owners say are - 'One day? One day I will work long and hard enough to give back to a charity or cause', well at least they care to dream of that reality, But what if they said 'Now is the time to find a way to be positive impacting the world whilst building my own personal empire'. What would the world look like if this was the norm?
Integration is a strategy, a choice and with new models for giving becoming more recognised the opportunities are endless!
At MIAKO we have created the pathway to learn about 'Integration'. The way forward to evaluate and critique your practices in business. There is nothing more satisfying then making huge profits whilst solving social problems (or at least not creating any new ones!)
