In this episode of the "She's Making an Impact" podcast, Terra shares an inspiring and practical message on overcoming perfectionism and embracing the principle that "done is better than perfect."  As we start a new year, let's focus on obedience to God's calling, take action on goals, and trust Him with the results. It's time for us to stop spinning our wheels and start making an impact by releasing our gifts and talents to serve others! Episode highlights include:   Done is Better Than Perfect The importance of finishing tasks and releasing them rather than endlessly tweaking and striving for unattainable perfection is emphasized. Progress is better than stagnation. Obedience Over Fear Fear of the results often holds us back, but it's essential to trust God with the outcomes of our efforts and focus on being obedient to His calling. God's Desires in Our Hearts Psalm 37:4 shows how delighting in the Lord aligns our desires with His will, empowering us to act in faith and confidence. Taking Action on Goals Real-life examples highlight the challenges of perfectionism, such as hesitating to submit a resume or launch a project, and the importance of pushing past those mental blocks to move forward. Using Your God-Given GiftsThe encouragement is clear: trust that the skills and talents God has placed in you are sufficient to make a meaningful difference when shared with others. ___________________________________________________________ Connect with Terra:  If you want to talk business, go to helpmecoachnow.com and set up a time to chat about your next best steps in this journey.  For prayer requests or to discuss your relationship with Christ, text Terra at 865-309-4737. ___________________________________________________________ Ready for more?

Did you know? 44% of the American workforce makes less than $20 an hour and are living paycheck to paycheck. Much of that hourly wage employee sector is considered essential workforce to keep our economy humming, as evident in the pandemic triggered shut down and in the current supply chain crisis. For this Compassionate Capitalist Show, Karen Rands is joined by Sabina Bhatia, Chief Customer Officer at PayActiv, to talk about the impact 'financial insecurity and well being' of hourly wage workers have on the profitability and scalability of businesses. Earned Wage Access is rapidly becoming the #1 way for companies to attract and retain their non-salary employees. Understanding HOW high turnover and job vacancies, and how distracted and anxious employees effect quality control and customer experience, is critical for both founders and investors. The soft dollar impact on the financial performance of a company and stagnation of a company to reach their growth targets directly correlates to the ROI of an investment. With great passion and focus, Sabina Bhatia has been instrumental in building the financial category of Earned Wage Access from infancy to mainstream adoption as the most important employee wellness benefit of 2022. As a Chief Customer Officer at Payactiv, she acts as a daily advocate and amplifier for the needs of thousands of corporate clients and millions of lower-income workers.

In diese Folge gibt Ulrike Trenz vom Impact Hub Ruhr einen Einblick in den Aufbau einer lokalen Impact Community und die damit verbundenen Hochs und Tiefs, die dabei durchlebt wurden. Ulrike hat gemeinsam mit einer weiteren Gründerin (Janna Prager) und einem Gründer (Benedikt Brester) den Impact Hub Ruhr aufgebaut. Doch selbst zu Gründen war kein “Masterplan” von ihr. Inspiriert durch ihre Arbeit bei Impact Hub Zürich fragte sich Ulrike, ob es nicht auch sinnvoll wäre, so etwas auch im Ruhrgebiet zu etablieren. Gründen? Ich doch nicht, oder doch? Zurück im Ruhrgebiet hat Ulrike die Idee dann vielen Menschen erzählt und den Kontakt zu anderen gesucht, die bereits ähnliche Ideen hatten. Ihr erster Gedanke dabei war andere bei dem Aufbau zu unterstützen. Warum sie selbst dann doch gründete? Nach einiger Zeit merkte Ulrike, dass sie bereits so stark involviert war, dass der Schritt den Impact Hub Ruhr mitzugründen gar nicht mehr so groß erschien. Das zeigt sehr gut, dass das Handeln (egal wie abwegig das Ziel zunächst erscheint), ein wichtiger Grundstein zur Gründung ist. Gemeinsam Gründen In dem Podcast wird ersichtlich, dass ein gemeinsames Verständnis von der Vision wichtig ist. Aber noch wichtiger ist beim gemeinsamen Gründen das Verständnis des Gründer*innen-Teams untereinander. Hier zeigt das Gespräch gut, wie wichtig es ist am Anfang die “Hosen runter” zu lassen. Klar, offen und ehrlich zu kommunizieren, wie die Situation wirklich ist. Das schließt manchmal auch das Private mit ein. Nicht in allen Situationen, aber es sollte auch kein Tabu sein. Netzwerk aufbauen Wie hat es das Team geschafft ein Netzwerk aufzubauen, dass selbst schwere Zeiten durchsteht? Beim Impact Hub waren neben vielen anderen Faktoren auch das Gründer*innen-Team, mit ihren unterschiedlichen Stärken, und der Ort direkt am Essener Hauptbahnhof essentiell. Im Podcast erfährst du wie dieser Ort möglich wurde und entstanden ist. Klare und große Ziele im Kopf Bei der Suche nach dem richtigen Ort (darf übrigens nicht unterschätzt werden) half dem Team von Anfang an, dass sie klare, wenn auch große, Ziele festgelegt hatten. So viel es ihnen leichter nicht passende Orte auszuschließen und weiter nach Möglichkeiten zu schauen. Große Ziele, wie: “Ein Ort an einem Bahnhof” schienen zuerst unerreichbar. Doch wurden schlussendlich doch Wirklichkeit. Mit mehreren Standbeinen durch die Krise Ein Impact Hub hat für gewöhnlich mehrere Standbeine. Darunter zählen zum Beispiel Veranstaltungen, Vernetzen, Wissensvermittlung und viele mehr. In herausfordernden Zeiten kann das aber bedeuten, dass sich der Fokus verschiebt. Das muss jedoch nicht nur negativ sein, sondern kann auch Neues hervorbringen, was vorher nicht denkbar gewesen wäre. Genau darüber berichtet Ulrike in dem Gespräch. Wirkung als Antrieb Ulrike zeigt in dem Gespräch sehr gut, wie die Wirkung seiner Arbeit ein großer Antrieb sein kann. Der Impact Hub ist ein großartiges Vehikel, um gemeinsam mit vielen Partnern Wirkung zu erzeugen. Sie lädt andere, die etwas Gründen wollen, oder mitwirken wollen dazu ein, in den Impact Hub Ruhr zu kommen und Teil der Community zu werden. Über den Impact Hub Ruhr Der Impact Hub Ruhr ist Teil eines globalen Netzwerkes und setzt sich dafür ein, Innovation durch nachhaltige Ansätze in Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft zu verankern. Als Coworking Space, Event-Veranstalter und Berater vernetzen sie Freelancer, Kreative, Social Entrepreneure und Unternehmen in gleicher Mission. Dort wird Expertise geteilt, Inspiration gesucht und Innovation durch ungewöhnliche Partnerschaften geboren.
