The Power of Being Useful: How to Make an Impact in Life and Business In a fast-moving world where competition is fierce and expectations are rising, one simple but powerful question can define your success: How useful are you? Whether in business, relationships, or personal growth, usefulness is the key driver of impact and income. This idea, explored in a recent radio segment by Stan Hustad, offers a compelling framework for success in 2025 and beyond. The Key to Success: Be Useful Stan Hustad’s discussion stems from a lesson he learned from his daughter Megan, who years ago set out to establish herself in the publishing industry in New York City. Despite coming from a Midwest state school and facing biases from the elite East Coast circles, she succeeded—not because of privilege or luck, but because she proved her worth by being useful. Her book, How to Be Useful, highlights a critical truth: success doesn’t come from charm, intelligence, or even connections alone; it comes from offering value that people need. A striking parallel can be drawn with Elon Musk, a man who built his fortune and influence not by chasing money but by seeking ways to be useful. Whether with PayPal, SpaceX, or Tesla, Musk identified areas where he and his businesses could provide solutions, making them indispensable in their respective industries. His approach reinforces an essential lesson: usefulness leads to impact, and impact drives income. Key Takeaways for Life and Business • Success Is About Making a Difference – Being useful means solving problems, offering solutions, and improving the lives of others. The greater your impact, the greater your rewards. • Impact Drives Income – If you want to thrive financially, focus on how much value you bring to others. Money follows impact. • Simplicity and Innovation Matter – The best solutions are often simple but highly effective. Identify areas where you can streamline processes, create better experiences, or provide essential services. • Speed and Adaptability Are Crucial – The pace of work and communication is increasing. To remain relevant, you must be quick, adaptable, and continuously improving. • Differentiate Yourself Through Value – It’s not enough to just be different; you must offer something uniquely valuable that makes a real impact. Final Thoughts: A Challenge for 2025 As we navigate a rapidly changing world, the ability to be useful is more important than ever. Those who succeed will not be those who sit back and wait for opportunities; they will be the ones who proactively create value, solve real-world problems, and make a meaningful difference. So here’s the challenge: • How can you be more useful in your current job, business, or community? • What unique skills, insights, or talents do you have that can create an impact? • How can you turn usefulness into a source of income and long-term success?
