    Thanks a lot! But I wonder if you know Artur Grandi, who is a founder of venture fund and he gathered a great community, with one common purpose of spreading the idea of his formula of healing whole world’s financial system, for the sake of which he wrote a book “Grand Time”, with descriptions and many other insights in it?!

    Great insights on community building! One advanced tip is to leverage 'super users' in your community; these are highly engaged members who can help drive conversations, reducing the pressure on you to always be the initiator. It's like having a team without the payroll.

    • @TomRossMedia
      @TomRossMedia Před 2 měsíci

      Yes I love doing this! We've built entire structures around this. I often recommend providing structure for the help they're already providing, but then setting expectations of a 3 month period for this engagement, to then reassess how both sides are feeling. Otherwise you risk awarding members titles that are forever, even if they drift.

    Working on building a community for songwriters here. The more I embrace the process, the more I get to be present for the people who show up for my service. What I never realized about building a community was simply how long it takes... The consistent effort needed and the certainty as a leader required is occasionally quite daunting. But the more clear I become in the vision the more exciting the journey. Thanks to The Futur for helping me in this transitional time of my life, as well as Tom for his great insights. Looking forward to what the futur (hehe) holds! 😄
