‘How do you run a successful, sustainable business in a fragile economy? By creating opportunity.’

‘Better wages lead to improved conditions, which create stronger families and well-made houses.’

By taking care of their dreams. By taking care of their minds. By taking care of their souls. By creating an environment where growth is possible.

To do that, according to Yusuf Amdani, ‘Making impact starts with doing business well. If the company is profitable, it will have the resources needed to support and improve the community.’

‘To create a true impact, we need to shift our mindset away from token gestures. Think beyond one-time, scattered, or small efforts. Look for long-term opportunities that can be carried out routinely and incorporated under the company’s umbrella.’

‘Be on the lookout for ways that your company and the country of operations could scale together. If the economy is set to take off, align your business plan so you can both achieve exponential growth.’

‘When doing business, find the average wage offered to employees in a specific country. Consider offering a salary that is slightly above local expectations. Creating a comfortable lifestyle for workers can increase retention rates.’

‘Don’t underestimate a labor pool that is eager to earn a better wage. You can offer a salary that is slightly above average for the area. Workers pay attention, and compensation is a great contributor to employee satisfaction.’

‘If a local economy is open to your industry, show them what you can do. Focus on the improvements you can make for their area. Point out the jobs you can bring in through your company.’

‘Seek out ways to collaborate when carrying out educational projects. Nonprofits, governments, and schools may be eager to participate in a well-laid-out approach.’

‘Start small and use trial and error to learn best practices. Once you’ve found a strategy that works, seek out ways to expand efforts.’

‘Talk to team members about how to elevate the middle class in the country of operations. Ask them what benefits they would like to see.’

‘The best approach includes maintaining integrity at every step.‘

‘Build your business around something that you love-something that is inherently and endlessly interesting to you.’

‘Focus your attention and creativity on basic things, things that people need and want. Then look for ways to enlarge, improve, and enhance your Big Idea.’

‘Create a business plan that allows you to stay true to your Big Idea but help you focus on the details. Then remain flexible enough to zoom in or out on the vital aspects of your enterprise as your business grows.’

‘By sharing your knowledge about your product or service with your customers, you create a deep connection that will help you learn how best to build and manage your business.’

‘Use smart, cost-effective promotional techniques that will arrest the eye, tug at the heart, and convey what is unique and special about your business or service.’

‘Quality should be placed at the top of your list of priorities, and it should remain there. Quality is something you should strive for in every decision, every day.’

‘Seek out and hire employees who are brimming with talent, energy, integrity, optimism, generosity. Search for advisors and partners who complement your skills and understand your ideals.’

‘When faced with a business challenge, evaluate or assess the situation, gather the good things in sight, abandon the bad, clear your mind, and move on. Focus on the positive. Stay in control, and never panic.’

‘In business, there’s a difference between a risk and change. A well-calculated risk may very well end up as an investment in your business. A careless change can cause it to crumble. And when an opportunity presents itself, never assume it will be your last.’

‘Listen intently, learn new things every day, be willing to innovate, and become an authority your customers will trust. As an entrepreneur, you will find great joy and satisfaction in making your customers’ lives easier, more meaningful, and more beautiful.’
