The importance of community

It's the weekend and I finally get a chance to catch up on the really important things in life. The important things for me are family, friends and doing some sort of work that is fun and that gives me a sense of accomplishment.  Right now in my life everything is going great.

I want to write a little today about the value of community.  Most of you reading this blog are taking part in the same Internet marketing course that I am.    I am certain all of you would agree that the content is awesome and that the course is fast paced.  I would argue that there is another component that makes Kevin's course much better than any of the others out there.  I believe that extra component is the sense of community Kevin brings to the participants in his course.

How important is this sense of community?  It makes the difference in how successful we are when the course is over. Just knowing something isn't enough, we need to apply what we know.  All of us in this course are spread out around the globe.  We have people in Finland, Canada, England, New Zealand and the United States who, if we combine our efforts and cooperate, can be Internet Millionaires in a few years time.  Yes, Road Warrior Scott Bell will finally be able to get off the road and Dating Coach April will have the freedom to finally get out of the bay area.  (With occasional visits back!)

Participating in a community imparts the value of acceleration. When people of like mind combine their efforts they reap the magic of teamwork. This works like compound interest, magnifying the results for all members of the team.  If we can hold this community together after the conclusion of the class and support one another we will all see our dreams come true faster.

This is my plug for continuing what Scott Bell suggested earlier, forming a mastermind group to continue supporting one another when the course is over.  Right now we are bound by the confines of the course.  Later, we need to make it a point to keep on supporting one another and building our nascent little community.

I took this course last year.  I learned a a lot, in fact, much more than I could possibly absorb at the time.  That is why I am taking it again.  Speaking from experience, you will miss your fellow travelers here in the course. Kevin's exhortations are true, we all need to take advantage of the support we receive from one another.

We all hold in our hands a jewel of possibility. If you ever dreamed of being a success on the Internet your chance is here.  Let's take advantage of it.
