Getting Involved: Is This Your Year To Step Up? Ursula Jorch
We live in interesting times. You can empower yourself in times like
this by getting involved, by contributing to the environment that
directly affects your business.
It’s a new year, which can mean new beginnings.
I’d like to raise your awareness of a place where you can contribute,
something I don’t hear talked about much.
As entrepreneurs, we are all leaders. We have the opportunity to
really change things, to make a difference in a positive and significant
way.
We spend a lot of time thinking about how we can be better leaders in
our businesses. We spend time and energy on it. And that’s very
important.
Now, I invite you to expand your awareness of how you can be a
leader by looking to the community.
Your city or town is changing. It may even be growing. Every
community has the potential to be a role model of what communities
can do and be. And your business is operating within that
environment. It’s affected by it.
You can be part of deciding how things change and grow. What better
way to have impact on your business than to be a leader in the com-
munity?
I’m not necessarily talking about running for mayor, city council, or
the county commission. It doesn’t have to be big. There are many
ways you can get more involved in the community and be a leader.
Here are some ideas:
Step up and offer to lead in organizations you’re already a part
of: hobby groups like hiking or photography, religious communities, or
service organizations.
Consider joining a city or county commission or committee that
covers topics that affect you and your business, like sustainability,
housing, and redevelopment.
Join a non-profit as a volunteer or even a board member. Boards love to have people who have business experience.
Pick a topic that interests you, and find a group or organization that
shares your interest. That can be directly connected to your business
or not.
These organizations are looking for leaders like you.

And the networking opportunities are endless. You’ll meet people you
wouldn’t otherwise meet. You’ll connect with them in a joint effort that’s
meaningful, which will help you form bonds you wouldn’t otherwise have.
Whether you’re an introvert or an extrovert, there’s a place for you.
It’s really wise to expand your network beyond the obvious business
connections. You just never know who can connect you to your next
wonderful client or stream of income.
We live in interesting times, as the Chinese proverb says, and it can be scary
because we don’t know what’s coming.
We can empower ourselves in times like this by remembering that
everything, everything begins locally. It begins person to person on a local
level.
You can influence how things unfold at that level. And the ripple effect of all
of us taking positive action means we can collectively influence the future
for the better.
So I invite you to be the change you wish to see in the world. Is this your
year to step up?
You have the opportunity, as a business leader, to be a contributor to
meaningful and positive change. You have the opportunity to have impact,
perhaps on a bigger scale than you’re ever considered.
I invite you to look outside your business and see the tremendous opportunities there, for yourself and your business. And even beyond that: for the community and the larger world. You matter. What you do matters. And what you contribute is a gift to us all.
