A cross between The Promise of a Pencil and She Means Business , this book from the co-founder of a charity dedicated to bringing education to students in rural Kenya demonstrates how finding your purpose can change the world and change your life. What if you took five minutes out of the day to meaningfully pursue your passion? Not what your friends, family, or spouse love to do, but what you love to do. What if we all pursued our passions for five minutes per day? What impact could we have on the world? Amy McLaren shares the lessons she learned on her journey from schoolteacher to entrepreneur and co-founder of Village Impact--a charity that builds schools in Africa. Once she identified her central passions for teaching and travel and turned them into her purpose, she took control of her life and made a big impact in now just her own life, but the lives of all around her. With this book as your guide, move through the seven key lessons from Amy's story--from seeking sources of inspiration and tapping into your network for support, to overcoming obstacles and establishing your legacy. Bridging your passion and purpose takes determination, perseverance, and grit--but you can start small and before you know it, you will change the world! In the process, discover how to: * Find time to feed your brain with possibility. * Discover ideas where you'd least expect them. * Eliminate self-doubt for good.

* Trust in yourself and have faith that it will work. * Get out of your comfort zone. * Champion those around you and surround yourself with positivity.
