You Change the World by Your Actions

Our friend Niki Nicastro McCuistion, co-author of Women, Wealth and Giving, sent us this quote that inspired and motivated us today:

*Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change
the world; indeed it is the only thing that ever has…” – Margaret Mead

Soap Hopers – our customers are supporters – are the thoughtful committed citizens that are changing the world. Thanks Niki for reminding us of what we can accomplish together!

Hope Quote for November 10, 2010

“Hope is the companion of power, and mother of success; for who so hopes strongly has within him the gift of miracles.” – Samuel Smiles

All great steps forward – whether individual or for our society – begin with hope and are sustained by hope. We must believe that our vision is a realistic possibility if we are to have the tenacity and persistence required to achieve it. The greater the hope you can build and maintain, the greater the heights you can reach. So to reach the pinnacle of who you can be, fill yourself with hope completely, removing every fear and every doubt, and march on toward your vision.

Free Hope Pourri Ten-Pack, a $25 Value

People love Hope Pourri at the holidays – Soap Hope’s golden sachet filled with chunks of all natural soap. They fill any room, bag or drawer with wonderful aroma, and they are topped with a card about our mission to help women around the world.

So we have a special for you: go gift shopping at Soap Hope, and if you spend $99 or more in your order we’ll include a ten-pack of Hope Pourri – worth $25 – free in your package. Just use coupon code 10HOPE when you check out.

That gives you ten extra stocking stuffers and party favors for free – you’ll always have one handy for any situation. One great idea: get 10 gift bags and 10 Hope Pourri – that’s 20 gifts – all for under $100! Here’s a link to our gift bags, starting at just $9.99:

The Good Minute

Great impact more often comes from many consistent small steps than from one big action. We all know this from personal experience: tens of thousands of small incremental steps form a child’s education, create a person’s character, elect a leader or change a culture.

Many Soap Hope customers and fans have “Shared the Hope” by telling friends and family, posting on Facebook and Twitter, giving Soap Hope gifts – one customer last week even asked Oprah to feature Soap Hope before she retires! I thank each of you for your contribution. And to achieve our mission of teaching 1,000 businesses the Good Returns model and deploying a billion dollars toward ending poverty, I ask you to Share the Hope again – and again.

Creating this movement is like educating children or raising women from poverty – it takes lots and lots of small consistent actions. Luckily, to help with Soap Hope the action is easy: just share with others. It takes less than one minute. I call it the Good Minute.

Every day I ask our friends and supporters, old and new, to Share the Hope. I know you did it last week and the week before – and still, please take one Good Minute today to send an e-mail, send a tweet, write on your Facebook wall, tell a friend about Soap Hope, or shop in the store. Take one small action right now to share Soap Hope with someone you know, and we’ll take care of the rest: we’ll build the inventory, sell the products, fulfill the orders, invest the profits into anti-poverty initiatives, and recruit 1,000 more businesses to do the same.

Give us your Good Minute today: click one of the Share buttons at the end of any post in the Soap Hope blog. Thank you for your support, Soap Hopers!

The Power of Leverage

Read Salah’s blog on the power of personal leverage to change the world for good.

Hope Quote for October 20

“Great hopes make everything great possible.” – Benjamin Franklin

Hope is more than a fanciful dream: it is a necessary ingredient in the human act of creation. The first step in bringing our vision into the world is to believe it is possible to do so: that’s hope. Stop struggling with the details of your problem, and instead look at your state of mind. Set aside any doubt that you will prevail, fill yourself with hope, and the right course of action will become crystal clear.
