movement building
I suppose that word “movement” has been deeply engrained in me, maybe because of my history with an organization that mentions this word quite frequently.
I saw this post on Carlos Whittaker’s blog about 7 keys to movement building. I’d like to share it here.
[The best 3 minutes of your day]
A few things I think we can learn from this video.
1. One man can start a movement.
2. A movement need not be started by the most skilled member of the movement.
3. When beginning your movement and you look around and no one else is joining the dance, just keep dancing.
4. When the one guy who joins your movement slowly fades away, keep going.
5. Before you know it, the people joining your movement won’t even know you started it.
6. When your movement takes a life of it’s own, just let go. There will be no stopping it.
7. The very people who are staring at you like your nuts as you movement alone, will be the very same people dancing the hardest in the end.
I like this. Especially #2 and #5. What are your thoughts?

That is great!!! I like #7 the best. Too many people start a successful movement and then step back to watch the view and admire what they have created. That’s the sure sign that your movement is about to die.
