Excitement in the beginning...

Aloha Everyone!


I am so sorry I haven't blogged in a loooonnnnnnggg time. For the Entrepreneurs Club, we are starting off our new semester, and it has been pure craziness. We just finalized our membership, and have a fresh batch of 60 amazing entrepreneurs. Here are a couple pics from our recruitment events...






Through marketing, we have built a lot of excitement about our organization. People will gravitate towards interesting things, gaining their initial attention. But for leaders and tribes, you aren't just looking for their attention. You are looking for traction and movement. You gain initial attention by telling the truth about why your tribe is remarkable, but as a leader, you must show them the remarkable process. Take them on a journey where they keep that initial excitement throughout the rest of time. It is your job as a leader to show them enough value where they are excited to come to your events, want to volunteer, put their best efforts forward at all times for the tribe.

If people start to lose their initial excitement, that is a sign that their expectations aren't being met. Look back at what made them excited in the first place. If their excitement came from what your tribe truly is, and now they aren't excited, you might want to look back on your process and tactics.

If it came from another reason, the loss of their excitement is okay. It wasn't in the best interest of the tribe.
