PROFIT : Alone you can make so much difference. With the right army you can change the world.
Your New Look Army
The army we’re talking about may be diverse in it’s make-up...
- Mastermind Groups : Napoleon Hill suggested we align with like-minds 50 years ago. Form your face-to-face and/or online group today.
- Aggregators : Creating a way to collaborate is key. Google Docs, Google Wave, Wikis, Twitter... the tools are out there waiting for you.
- Automation : Your army can be software and machines to fill the gaps between the jobs humans do better.
Here’s some tips for spreading your ideas further and faster:
- Choose one thing to focus on.
- Simplify the process for spreading the word. Make it dead easy.
- Why bother? Create a powerful reason for others to take action.
- Find people who are aligned to your cause.
- Create an incentive or benefit for those who play with you.
Here’s some tips for managing a large scale army:
- Simple gestures matter - it’s not how many words you write.
