Our Community, for all intents, works on the same premise as a club or a collective. The idea here is that people are interested in and agree to participate in something. In this process, we share ideas, strategies, tools... all leading to the outcome of people achieving a similar result: to create an additional financial resource.
As I "grew up" in a small town, the adult "clubs" were the Lions, Moose, Kiwanis - that all served some civic or social function. Typically, these were predominantly male organizations who all agreed to rally around and participate in "good works". For example, among other things, the Lions Club sponsored the public pool we went to in the summer time. They also rented the space in the Club House for community functions. The proceeds all fed back into doing more good works and to perpetuate their core mission of "service".
The similar thread we share with any club is that we agree to and participate in the Good Work of helping people elevate their life circumstances. This is made possible by this core construct of "Agree To - Participate In". This is what we do. Our "job" is to find people to educate to the point that they agree with our strategy to create additional income. This is 80% of the first half. The other 20% is getting people to trust that their participation will be rewarded with results.
This gets us to the 50-yard line. Pushing the ball down to the goal line is the other aspect of our business: teaching, supporting, holding accountable. The monetary goal is different for everyone based on their situation. My first goal was to replace my part-time job at a Home Improvement Center. This was approximately $300 a week, or $1,200 a month of consistent, reliable income that I could count on month after month.
This consistency is only possible when the ones supporting the consistency are having success. In other words, "success" goes well beyond initial recruitment efforts. Success means that you help, guide and mentor others to ensure the stability of their and consequently, your income. This gets to the idea of a "collective" of shared norms and values... primary among them is doing our level best to ensure everyone succeeds. Again, this is done through education, support and mentorship and buying into the ethos that "no one gets left behind".
A Money Club. People agree to and participate in a way to make money. We share this common interest and consciously choose to adopt the norms and values of the Community as they relate to all the positive and productive outcomes we seek.
The goal is the number of commas we see in our bank balance. However, to get there involves significantly more... and it all starts with exposing people to an option to learn about, agree to and participate in. Then, having them pull the trigger to commit, and join with us.
