agricultural co-op to a desire to end human trafficking to local businesses that are about the same size. These are just the beginnings; before the founders can create a tribe, they must realize some other commonalities among them, the primary one is values. This one can be a cancer in a tribe, if not established and early. If there is a difference in the members' values, the tribe cannot survive. Common values are the foundation for members of the tribe to work together. There can be no gray areas in the acceptance and adherence to the values of the tribe, back to the founders. When two or more people come together and discover a common bond and values, the next step is whether they have a common vision. The bond and values rest in the past and are the framework for going forward. But some people with similar values can have different outlooks on what they want to do and be a part of. This is driven by the stage in life they are in or the stage their business is in. The common vision pulls the tribe into a tight-knit group that can be unstoppable. If the vision is for everyone in the tribe to have the most exceptional success, they can have whatever it is that the members create. That powerful vision pulls the tribe together and keeps them together. When a
tribe commits to working together to ensure everyone has success, they become an unstoppable force. Envision this; you are a member of a tribe that meets regularly to celebrate wins, work to overcome obstacles, and help each other succeed through the tribe, taking the time to help you with the problems and obstacles you are dealing with. What would that be like? You are no longer alone in your struggles and efforts. You always have support and know that there is a group of people you can count on when the shit hits the fan for your business. They are also there to buy you the first round when you land your first high-paying
gig or job. That is what a tribe is and will always be. A group that is there with you, side by side, through the obstacles and victories. And, you are there for them when that other tribe member needs guidance, or a pick me up. The great thing about the power of the tribe is that it is always there, regardless of the stage of business or life you are in. The power of your tribe gives you the strength to persevere and follow your purpose.
