Building Community

By

Building Community is something we don't often think about, unless you are doing it consciously, but the reality is that we are all doing all the time.Every time we share our dreams, our hopes, our fears, with another human being, we are engaging and enrolling others into our world. Every time we open our hearts, we are bringing people closer to us.To build a business, a brand, a tribe, or a group of any kind, we are building community. Or rather, we are modeling community behavior to those around us as to inspire them to model community behavior as well.The quickest way to build a community around you is to be authentic, share your heart and your fears, and ask for support and feedback. The quickest way to destroy a community is be inauthentic, self-centered, and cruel.If you are a business owner or a practitioner of some kind, it does not take a huge community to support you and have a good life. A few dozen, a couple of hundred people that you are serving consistently may be all you need. Treating those people like they are your brothers and sisters (or better) will ensure that they stick around for the long haul.So what are your dreams and fears? How can we support you in your quest to build a life of meaning and contribution
