How to start a movement

Apr 20 2010 Published by Tyron Bache under Inspiration, Video

  1. A leader needs the guts to stand out and be ridiculed.
  2. The leader must embrace the first follower as an equal.
  3. It’s not about the leader any more.
  4. The first follower is an under estimated form of leadership in itself.
  5. The first follower transforms a lone nut into a leader.
  6. 3 is a crowd and a crowd is news.
  7. Movement must be public.
  8. New followers emulate the followers, not the leader.
  9. The tipping point occurs.
  10. The more people that join in the less risk there is.

Leadership is over glorified, it’s really the first follower that transforms the lone nut into a leader.

Go be someone’s first follower!

For what it’s worth

Apr 05 2010 Published by Tyron Bache under Inspiration, Quotes

“For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.”
