Community Oriented Success

Posted on January 7th, 2010 by tim bursch. Filed under Community, ideas.

It is that time of year when a lot of us make resolutions and goals for the new year. I know I do.

Here’s a thought: Why do we focus mostly on personal goals?

What about community based goals or resolutions? Have you ever thought of creating a goal with your community? Yeah, me neither.

Here’s the deal. I think there might be some power in collective resolutions. Let’s say you are part of a industry community. You share ideas, network, help each other get better at your business. What could your group (community) impact this year? If you were spending some of your goal-energy working with other people on a bigger goal, don’t you think you would grow…and everyone in the group.

So, what communities are you part of? Why not start a group resolution this year?

What a great post, Tim. Personally, one of my community goals this year is to increase collaboration with fellow Twin Cities bloggers. I think there's a lot we bloggers could do to educate our respective networks on the power of online marketing.
