(👀 🎧 read or listen) Add the event to your calendar here. We already have 25 members! That tells me we're onto something worth building with intention. So this is your official invite to our first LIVE Town Hall Gathering, where we are co-creating the experience, the benefits of being a member, and the overall vibe together. Here's the question I want us to answer together... What would the BEST community of entrepreneurs supporting entrepreneurs actually look like? What would it be like if the value and the benefit of the membership IS the members? Sure, every entrepreneur needs business strategy, but what about a more foundational layer? What about just having peers, allies, and colleagues that hang out, talk about things, and offer feedback and other kinds of support? I've also been collecting ideas and notes from our conversations in the posts and comments. We've been throwing around a lot of ideas for what this community could be like. -Co-working hours. -Writing hours for content creation. -Challenges. Games. -Feedback Fridays. All of that is very doable. And those ideas are just from comments and posts. What can we brainstorm and co-create on an actual Live call with each other? Here are the eight core design principles for successful cooperation that will help guide how we put this all together. Thank you @Des Cooke for sharing these principles with me. 1. Shared Identity and Purpose - one collective identity, one meaningful mission. 2. Equitable Contribution and Benefit - everyone brings value, everyone receives it. 3. Inclusive Decision-Making - those affected by decisions have a voice in them. 4. Transparency and Accountability - expectations are visible, and we hold each other to them. 5. Adaptive Feedback - helpful behavior is reinforced, unhelpful behavior is addressed. 6. Fast and Fair Conflict Resolution - tensions get resolved directly and efficiently. 7. Self-Governance and Autonomy - we uphold and evolve our principles (1-6). 8. Aligned External Collaboration - partnerships are built on the same foundations (1-7).
