I caught myself thinking about something this morning.
It's very easy to have a busy week as a community builder.
You can write posts.
Tweak your About page.
Create another resource.
Check your numbers.
Rearrange your classroom... again. 😂
And at the end of the week, feel like you've done a LOT.
But here's the question I've been thinking most about...
How much of it brought you closer to the people you're building for?
Not closer to a better-looking community.
Not closer to another metric.
Closer to the people.
Did you have a conversation that helped you understand someone a little better?
Did you notice a question that keeps coming up?
Did someone say something that made you think, "Ohhh... I hadn't thought about it that way"?
Did you simply listen?
Sometimes we can get so busy building the community that we forget to spend time with the people we're building it for.
And I have a feeling some of our best clues are hiding right there.
So no homework today. No challenge.
Just one question to ponder...
What did you do this week that brought you closer to the people you're building for?
And if your answer is "not much," that's okay, too.
You noticed.
And noticing is where better building begins. ❤️
Happy Sunday, friends.
