Remember I told you that you are not living just to live life or to exist. Rather you are living to make a difference in life. You are actually living to make an impact in life. An impact in this context is a marked effect or influence on people around you. This impact must be global in scope. So the whole world in its length and breadth as it were is your domain. There is no restriction to your global coverage or global reach when it comes to success. It is all about maximum global impact.
Success is a global phenomenon. It has no boundary or nationality, neither is it tied to any particular language. Rather it understands every language whether Igbo, Spanish, English, French, German, Chinese, Jewish, Afrikaans, Arabic, etc. Moreover, the mandate of Success is the same everywhere around the globe whether in Europe, Asia, Africa, and America. Hence, the universality of success is a reality. It is now crystal clear that you can make a maximum global impact and have fulfillment in any given field of endeavor no matter your location.
By implication making a maximum global impact means succeeding globally. Ideally, your success and fulfillment in life answer to your impact. Once again remember the challenge. Take a good look at the world around you. What are the everyday needs in people’s lives? How do you explore and exploit the earth to meet these needs and by so doing add value to people’s lives? The world and people are waiting for a solution. The problem you solve is the impact you make and it must be global. And the value attached to this impact and the fulfillment the people enjoy is tantamount to success. Succinctly put, maximum global impact means global success.
In this post, we shall consider some important steps that are necessary for you to make a maximum global impact. These steps are sine qua non if you must extend your global coverage or reach for global success. In any sphere, you may find yourself, in business, academics, ministry, career, science, and technology, or in the ICT, etc you are about to make a maximum global impact. Just make sure you are in sync with the whole idea.
Think Global
The first step you must take to make a maximum global impact is to think global. Don’t confine yourself to your own little world. Expand your horizon if you want to make a global impact in life. The gateway to maximum global impact is your thought process. So critical thinking is the first prerequisite for maximum global impact. Remember your thought defines who you are and your level of impact in life. Thinking globally does two amazing things. First, it will help you to form a vision of global scope. Second, it will generate and galvanize ideas. Global thought breeds global ideas. Hence, if you must stand a chance of succeeding on the global scene then you must bring forth global ideas.
Remember, vision answers the question of what to do on the global scene, whereas, ideas answer the question of how to do it well. Hence with a global vision, you will have a vivid picture of your aims and objectives, and matching it with global ideas will result in global impact. Thinking global also helps you develop the global mentality that will empower you to traverse the global scene. This mentality transcends the local mentality or principle of the locality where one feels too inadequate and too insignificant to make a maximum global impact. Thinking global provokes global vision and ideas to flow like a stream. Endeavor to write them down as they come. Let it become your business plan, and your blueprint to guide you in your quest for global success.
Show Global Commitment
The second step is to show commitment. Maximum global impact is a function of global commitment. For you to succeed globally you must match your quest for global success with a commitment to global goals and objectives. There is always a price tag on success. Conversely, there is a global price on global success which must be paid to have a bite of this global success. Moreover, the willingness to pay this global price is a high mark of commitment to global success.
On the contrary, the inability to pay this global price will land one in the abyss of mediocrity. Understand that success is a process, and so it is progressive. Just as life is in phases global success is also in phases. Hence, your commitment to each phase determines your progression to another. Therefore you must be committed to the pursuit of these global goals and visions for you to make a maximum global impact.
Deploy Global Resouces
The third step is to squarely match your global vision with global resources. Your resources must be of global standard and must match your vision. These global resources put you within the purview of global success and also empower you to compete favorably with any competitor from any part of the globe. It facilitates the churning out of world-class services. Global resources are tools that will give you an equal footing in the global domain and ensure world best practices. It will become suicidal if the resources do not match the vision.
This is where foresight comes in. I shall discuss foresight in the next chapter. Hence, with foresight, one will be able to understand trends in the global scene. Planning is very crucial when it comes to global success. And foresight reinforces your ability to plan and strategize on how to allocate global resources in order to achieve global success. With these resources, you are able to impact the global community by meeting both immediate and remote needs.
For instance, social media and the internet are global resources that one must explore for maximum global impact. Social media handles like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, LinkedIn, etc can be a plus in your quest for global success. You must maximally explore these resources. There is also a need for you to assert your online presence through ownership of the website and blogs.
The Final Word
the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein - Psalm 24:1
Finally, don’t fail to acknowledge the owner of the globe. While you are critically thinking, showing commitment, and deploying global resources you must recognize God Almighty who’s got the whole world in his palm. Have faith in him and this imperatively will facilitate your maximum global impact.
