Social Impact: Are we ready to make that dent in the universe? by Anjana Chennagiri

We all have our own versions of our universe where we hope to make a difference or have an impact. Be it our small families or communities or this entire world.

“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever”- Steve Jobs

As entrepreneurs we are completely uncertain about what the future holds for us. But it was empowering to see each one of us taking the leap of faith, trusting our gut and embarking on this beautiful journey called Entrepreneurship.

The Social Impact class last week was all about learning our personal journeys and reflecting on our personal “why’s”and trying to understand our core values and how it can translate into our individual businesses.

It was interesting to learn each entrepreneurs journey and how we all got here and why we are doing what we are doing. It was heartwarming to see that though our paths were different our hope and desire to help the communities and make a difference remains the same.

The takeaway was that, it is important to keep questioning our “whys” throughout our entrepreneurial life to help us give clarity, drive us and keep us going.

Also this day , It was very inspiring to hear the story and mission behind Mastermind Adventures at Swansea Mall. Their journey towards social impact has definitely been adventurous and inspiring.
