THE HEART OF THE MATTER
YOUR ‘WHY’
IMPACT INVESTING IS INHERENTLY PERSONAL
MOTIVATION
WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PERSONAL ACCOMPLISHMENT?
OR, WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PERSONAL FAILURE, TRAGEDY?
WHY ARE YOU HERE? HOW CAN IMPACT INVESTING HELP YOU SOLVE WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING TO DO?
WHAT FEARS, DEMONS, LOSSES AND DISAPPOINTMENTS DO YOU HAVE? LEAN INTO THESE, GROW
THROUGH THE PAIN AND BECOME YOUR GENIUS THROUGH THE PROCESS… THIS IS HOW YOU CAN FIND
MOTIVATION FOR SELF AND IMPACT INVESTING
