Corporate to Social Enterprise and Making an Impact with The Water Magician (Jeroen van Overbeek)

Read Time: 2 minutes

What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.
Jane Goodall

If you’re contemplating starting a social business or losing that power that keeps moving forward, you may want to know more about Jeroen van Overbeek.

I genuinely value staying connected with people within my core values: serving people and contributing to saving Planet. Glad to have Jeroen in this show.

Jeroen van Overbeek came from a corporate executive background, managed hundreds of people across nine countries, and had huge responsibilities with all those other corporate benefits that we tend to feel luxury. Yet, for him, something isn’t giving him the spark. Something is missing within his inner self-purpose – that’s where the adventures began and how Social Impakt was born. Providing high-impact ceramic water filters to improve access to clean drinking water for rural communities in Indonesia.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Find Your Inner Purpose
Make Friends with your Mind
Be Okay to start being a Student again
Focus on Your Strengths
Seek for HELP
Leap of Faith
Things to have in Mind before starting a Social Enterprise/Business

If you have the idea of jumping to a massive shift to something you want to do, this episode is a must-watch.

DEEP THINKING:

As we grow older, most of us begin to find or search for the meaning of life as if we never understood the life we had when we were younger or felt that there’s more to that. Now, Jeroen and I want to suggest that you consider giving yourself time, space, and moment to be in a quiet place and truly reconnect to your inner being, like meditating – don’t resist, surrender – when that moment comes, your inner voice will tell you what is it that you want to do and achieve to create a higher and meaningful purpose in life. REMEMBER: Take that one step…and the rest will follow. Don’t let your past identity or personality stop you from creating a new chapter of your fulfilling life.

Until next time ❤️
No matter how big or small you want to achieve in life, take action now, use everything you learned from this interview, and keep going for your goals. Take small steps every day.
Yours,
