Let me give you an influence principle I have observed over
the years.

REPEAT AFTER LEE...

"Maximum impact
Minimal touch"

In a couple of seconds I'm going to lead you through a short
exercise.

A life-changing exercise for someone.

Maybe you.
Maybe someone else.
Maybe both.

First, however, let me define maximum impact for our
purpose:

Maximum impact is...

The greatest help -- even though small -- that would
inspire, encourage, or assist someone in becoming the person
you know they could become.

Now on to our exercise.

List three people you know.

But...

HERE ARE THE QUALIFICATIONS

They must already listen to you -- at least to some degree.

You must enjoy them.

You must enjoy helping them or growing in Christ together.

List your three

1.
2.
3.

A QUESTION

Now ask yourself this question: "In what way could I touch
the lives of one or more of these people - in small way -
that would have a maximum impact in their lives - right
now?"

However...

It must be fun for you!

It must be meaningful to you.

You must be able to "see" it happening.

AND YOUR THREE IDEAS ARE?

List the three ideas.

1.
2.
3.

TAKE A SECOND LOOK

Looking over your list.

Which one of the three causes you the greatest measure of
personal delight?

List it here -->

WHAT DATE WAS THAT?

The action you just wrote down.
When could you do this?

Month, day, year.
What's the date?

WILL YOU OR WON'T YOU?

Will you do what you *could* do?

Yes or No?
Circle your answer.

I will assume you answered yes!

Assuming that is the case, ...

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

You have "discovered" something that is *doable.*
With *someone* you like.
In a way that is *fun.*

And that is called...

A non-killer way of extending your influence -- and your
life.

Enjoy!
