Who is in Your Network of Contribution?

MYOB Podcast

What would it look like to create being part of a community where you’re going to engage in important conversations about the world and about business?

Many of us have communities of people in different areas of our life that we experience real contribution from. That could be a yoga community, or a friend group where you experience connection and growth, or a faith community. But as it relates to business, that kind of community is really missing for most people (especially in large organizations). On this episode we invite you to start to engage in what it looks like to create a Network of Contribution.

A Network of Contribution is the antithesis of what a normal network community is. Let’s start with what it’s not. Is it not code for “I’m going to find some business”. It is not made of convenience (where you’re giving opinions). It is not cheap. It is not that we show up and talk business goals.

Rather, it is one where like-minded ambitious professionals grow together and work things out together. Where you Invest energy and real thinking. You invest yourself, your time, and together you discover new pathways and new accesses.

Creating a Network of Contribution Is:

✔️Not in the world of transactional

✔️Not a short term business goal

✔️Access to invention

✔️A place where you bring real value

✔️You Investing yourself and your time

✔️Built on a shared commitment that is significant

• Your commitment over time and how it evolves
• Breakthroughs vs. Evolution (connected to a commitment and engaged with over time)
• Ah Ha’s and Integration

“A big thing missing for business owners and leaders, they have no place to go to really talk, and to hear themselves think, and to work things out.” - Jeff Willmore
