\"I'm<\/h3>\n

I’ve been thinking a lot about community in the last few months.<\/h3>\n

My pondering really got going with a phone conversation with Tim Bursch a few months back. He’s a guy that understands the value of making connections and helping people<\/strong>. He had some really interesting ideas for fostering more Innerpreneur interaction online.<\/p>\n

I’m more the solitary type.<\/h3>\n

But I launched the Innerpreneur Forum… with little personal understanding of how to cultivate conversation there. I’m not so into community<\/a>. I know very little about fostering community. I’m know about connecting one-on-one. <\/strong>I’m just not gregarious<\/strong> (definition: fond of company).<\/p>\n

But I see the value in being a part of a community that shares my values and can help me to live a more abundant and meaningful life<\/strong>. Those kind of communities I am looking for.<\/p>\n

People like us.<\/h3>\n

There is a community here. I don’t know many people like you.<\/strong> But to me, a true community is built upon the interactions between its members. I started the Innerpreneur Forum because I couldn’t think of a better platform to allow you to interact freely. Admittedly, the forum has already stalled.<\/p>\n

Could you use some support?<\/h3>\n

Yesterday it dawned on me. I could. I benefit from talking to other Innerpreneurs about the challenges of business.<\/p>\n

In an instant I decided to go against my grain and be social with strangers. Let’s talk about the challenges in our businesses. Together. Face to face.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Face-to-face Innerpreneur Support Group meet-up<\/h3>\n

I’m starting two live Innerpreneur meet-ups<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

1. In Toronto, on Nov. 2<\/strong>
\n2. Online in a video chat room, on Nov. 30<\/strong><\/p>\n

Max 9 ppl. in attendance for either. The cost of attendance is what you value it at. I’ve still got to plan the rest of the details…<\/p>\n

This is very scary for me. Holy shit.<\/p>\n
