Let’s talk about growing a community, especially in its early stages. One saying that comes to mind when I think about this is “Do things that don’t scale” - Paul Graham One way to implement this when growing the community at its early stages is to make everyone feel involved and heard. I’ve had to opportunity to work on a couple of communities over the years and I’ve seen how brilliant this can be. Taking the time to talk to everyone of your community members is a plus. This is something you might not be able to do when the community gets to 10k. But while you’re starting at 20, 30, 40… Find a way to make everyone be a contributor to the community. One thing I’ve realized is that every one wants to be heard, sometimes they just need a little push. So when building a community, it’s important to take this into consideration.

Community Building Myth #2: “More members means more success.”... The size of your community isn’t a measure of its success. A large number of inactive members doesn’t contribute to growth or value. It’s better to have a smaller group of highly engaged members who contribute to discussions, share knowledge, and form connections. Smaller, close-knit communities often foster stronger loyalty and meaningful impact than large, unfocused ones. I want to read your thoughts! 👇 👇👇

Good Monday morning, friends. Just a quick reminder that the ability to bring people together is not all there is to community building. Knowing someone's name is not all there is to community building. Helping with wayfinding is not all there is to community building. Components of? Yes. And to effectively build communities you must put the needs of those in your stewardship first. To effectively build community you must decenter whatever your motivations are to leave room and flexibility for those you are building WITH (not FOR). To effectively build community you must always think of what it means to ensure these spaces feel safe and inclusive and that you allow people to show up and contribute in a myriad of ways while upholding your community's why. To effectively build community, values and norms must be explicit and any correction must be applied equitably and with dignity to the members of your community (i.e., no public reprimands). If at any point you do this work for the glorification and magnification of YOU in the name of belonging and connection, get out of it. Because it isn't about you.

Your community is your greatest asset. Far more than just a network of contacts. Building a thriving community leads to collective success: ✔️ Uplift each member as you all grow ✔️ Share knowledge and insights openly ✔️ Celebrate wins, big and small, together Remember, we rise by lifting others. 🌟 Our individual success amplifies community prosperity. True community isn't about size, it's about depth. Foster meaningful, supportive relationships. These bonds create opportunities beyond imagination. Invest in your community. It's the foundation of enduring wealth and fulfillment. 🌱🤝 Crafting Financial Legacies, Leading with Heart.

What does community building mean to you? Are you just using the word, or are you actually taking action to build a strong one? For us, community building isn’t just a buzzword; it’s about taking real, tangible steps to create a space where people feel connected, valued, and supported. It’s easy to talk about “community,” but the real work is in actually making it happen. Are you checking in with people regularly? Are you creating opportunities for others to connect and collaborate? Are you listening to the needs of those around you and responding with empathy and action? Community isn’t something that just happens. It’s built through consistent effort, genuine interactions, and a commitment to making everyone feel like they belong. If you’re not putting in the work, then maybe it’s time to rethink what community means to you. So, are you building a community, or are you just talking about it?
