BRX Pro Tip: Community Building Tip
Stone Payton: [00:00:00] Welcome back to Business RadioX Pro Tips. Stone Payton and Lee Kantor here with you. Lee, today’s topic, community building.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:08] Yeah. I think in today’s world, everybody should be in the community building business. And when you’re building a community, it is important to figure out ways to help your community achieve the goals that it has. And ideally, they get what they need from the community itself and not from you doing everything for them.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:28] And that’s really one of the traps, I think, from doing community building in a not great way. If you’re having to do everything and you’re having to be actively engaged in doing all the work, then your community really isn’t a true community. The more active, engaged, and self-reliant the community is, the healthier it is and the longer it will sustain itself.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:49] So, I am a big fan of giving your community all the coaching, support, recognition, and tools it needs to successfully fish rather than just giving them a bunch of fish. So, I think your role as a community leader is empowering them and giving them what they need so they can kind of sustain the community themselves with a little help from you, not all the help from you.
