"Make the time in your lives to do something for somebody else."
CEO of The MacNaughton Group, Duncan MacNaughton, sends out this message to entrepreneurs and career people believing that their success is ultimately carried to them by the community where they belong. According to MacNaughton, establishing a symbiotic relationship maintains a healthy community
"Make sure that there is a contribution back to the community which gives us so much," MacNaughton said. "Our businesses are not successful because we're geniuses, it's because the community's healthy and to keep it healthy people have to invest back in it."
He became more active in community giving when his former boss, Herb Cornell, talked to him about his generation's lack of involvement in the community. MacNaughton said that at 34, Cornell was chairman of the board at the University of Hawaii while he, at 40, was a member of the Hawaii Preparatory Academy board.
"He rightfully told me that at 34 he had a major commitment to the community through the UH," he said. "Cornell was asking and sort of demanding that I should organize my age group to do more. So that was a real message that I got from him."
According to MacNaughton, now is always the right time for entrepreneurs to be involved in the community.
"You can always make time in everything you want to do, it's just a matter of priorities."
