Looking at my 5 year plan and long term goals for SPECTRUM, I’ve decided that for the next 30 memberships will be easily attainable by remaining public. By staying within close adherence of my created plan I feel like going private is the correct direction to move forward in. Going private, in my opinion, does a few things. 1. CREATES SCREENING - reviewing who will be apart this exclusive community all round protects this group’s intellectual ideas. While we listen to all information presented , we want top tier information from. Notable and respected sources. 2. CREATES CURIOSITY- After all we would like people to organically find us and then build up enough of their own curiosity to produce action and actually apply to join the group. To me it shows that you have given some sort of thought as to how this platform would resonate with you and even perhaps how you would create a designated space or time for the group in the midst of your daily lives. 3. SENSE OF BEING A PART- At The end of the day, to me, it feels good to be a part of a collective group, with closely related ideals, and things similar to your own, and by going private, you can almost guarantee that the people who are actually joining, have worthwhile information, camaraderie and perhaps other benefits, that you may discover on your own. So in a nutshell ,going private, is the first step to creating my vision of community, development, intellectual engagement and organic unbiased non judgmental but extremely personal and factual knowledge and top tier data … Bringing all these ideals ( and more) together as one common thread bonded all by the one common theme. CARS. All the them. Across the SPECTRUM ! Please engage with me… do you agree with going private versus remaining public based upon. The above?? Let me know your thoughts!!!
