Your first question might be what is a tribe?
A tribe is any group of people who come together for a common purpose. Tribes are passionate about what they represent and they love sharing their story with other people in hopes that they might join in the movement.
Tribes are typically around a single mindedness, some examples include: Harley Davidson Motorcycles, Marathon Runners, Quilt Makers, German Music and Dancing, Wellness and Anti-aging groups. You get the point.
Why would someone tattoo a company name on the back of their head?
Or dress like a German Musician and make a cow that dispenses beer? (Yea, that my dad)
It’s because they LOVE want they are about.
Here’s the question that really matters…
What tribes are you part of?
More importantly… what tribe are you ‘Leading’ ?
Today more than ever people are uniting for their cause. More often than not, people play small. They have no purpose they have no cause and they have no self-fulfillment.
Don’t let this be you.
Believe in something. Be willing to go out and tell the world about it. Have fun with it. Work for it and sacrifice for it. Connect with other like minded people.
Create a positive change in the world.
Can a larger group (tribe) influence more people then a smaller group?
Yes. Size does matter.
A larger tribe has many more tentacles to share the story and connect with others.
Now is the the time for you to step up and play BIGGER.
Create a tribe that gets you passionate. Find others who have the same interests and create some positive change in the world.
In the video below, Seth Godin argues the Internet has revived a human social unit from the distant past: tribes. Founded on shared ideas and values, tribes give ordinary people the power to lead and make big change. He urges YOU to do the same.
