Beyond you.Because of you.
"Beyond you. Because of you." is a phrase coined by Sherrie Rose, author of The Masterwork Years, for the value your masterwork brings to other people: it reaches beyond you, and it exists because of you.
Who is better off because of you?
Picture them for a moment.
- The manager who runs her team the way you once ran yours.
- The client who still calls you before a big decision.
- The grandchild who repeats a saying that started with you.
- The stranger who uses your method and has never heard your name.
Each of them takes a piece of your decades into places you may not see. That reach is beyond you. Its source is because of you.
Why does the phrase come in two halves?
Beyond you.
The value reaches people outside your own company, family, and field. It travels further than your calendar, your contacts, or your title could take it.
Because of you.
It exists only because of what you developed from your decades of experience and chose to share. Remove you, and it would not be there.
Together, the two halves describe Masterwork in other people's lives, while you are active and can see it happen.
Where does Masterwork come in?
Masterwork is a person's defining contribution, drawn from decades of worthy experience and shared to benefit other people, a concept introduced by Sherrie Rose. "Beyond you. Because of you." is what that contribution looks like from the other side, in the lives it reaches.
The phrase also activates your enhavim, a word coined by Sherrie Rose: purpose and mission led by vision. It turns a sense of responsibility toward others into decisions you make today.
