Grab your backpacks & join the field trip!

It’s Field Trip Time! My first Guest Post at Productive Flourishing is live!

It’s called The Three Tribes Within Your Tribe. And just to whet your appetite, here’s an excerpt:

We all know that our businesses depend on people, and much of the advice about growing your business focuses solely on getting more people to know, like, and trust you or your business. Scaling communications and relationships is incredibly challenging, though, and what adds to the challenge is that the kinds of people coming through your door changes.

As your blog or business grows, there are three identifiable tribes of people who will surround it:

  1. The people who have been around since your early days and humble beginnings,
  2. Those who have joined your tribe as the blog or business developed and are solidly your “right people,”
  3. Those who show up when you start getting Big and getting some social media attention, and bring a lot of buzz and excitement with them.

Understanding each of these tribes is essential, not just because of the marketing or sales implications (though those exist too), but because of the impact each group can have on your energy level as you approach your work each day.
