A recap of steps one through four for starting a movement: defining your purpose, overcoming inertia, gaining clarity on what motivates you, enlisting collaborators, building rhythm through regular events, and creating tools and frameworks that spread your message.
Chapters
So we've done this series called Start a Movement. I'm going to walk through this a bit with you so that if you go like, oh, you have access to the replays. So if any of these go like, oh, I need that now, go back and watch the replay because we're going to go on with step 5 today. So the first thing we talked about is what is your life mission, your purpose statement? And part of this is like, yep, how solid is yours, right? It's like Oh yeah, I'm still working on it. It's like, yep, yep, yep, keep working on it. Um, the second thing we talked about was overcoming inertia, overcoming our own inertia, meaning, you know, there's got to be more energy put on this thing to get that ball rolling. And we talked about 3 things: what's egregiously wrong, where is there potential energy, and is what your life mission is, is it ambitiously possible. So those are the overcoming inertia. And then we talked about step 1. Step 1 was clarity. And we talked about clarity in your mindset. And we talked about what mindsets are you asking people to jettison? What mindsets are you asking people to adopt? Um, what are the triggers that, that get under your skin about your, your movement that you share with other people? And what's the first step people should take? These are so good, you guys. So good. Second step, let's talk about enlisting ambassadors. We talked about ambassadors being collaborators, connectors, coaches, and of course we need clients. But another way to talk about clients, you need raving fans, people that go like, yeah, I love what Paul's doing. This is so good. So you need that, that the enlisting those ambassadors. Then we talked about rhythm. Where and how and when, how frequently are you going to show up? What are your processes for showing up? We have this monthly call called Significant Impact Monthly. Part of that, the infrastructure of this is there's a camera, there's a Zoom, there's, you know, other recordings. How do I put it up? What system do I put it up? There's infrastructure behind these things too. As content creators, we love just like, let me just produce the content and not do the technology. We all know that because this is where we all come from, is that there's like, I want to ignore the part that I want to offshore to you guys or off, you know, give to you guys. It's like, well, you have to understand something about what we're doing and we have to understand something about what you're doing. Then step 4, what tools, what frameworks, assessments, physical assets, digital assets, you know, and even like memes, like, you know, wisdom isn't wisdom until it's shared. What I tell people is the universe is perfect. There's things that we say that would, you know, put those earworms for people about your movement. So those are the first 4 steps. And we're not going to go through those today because we got another step to go through today. But if you have questions about those and you need work with those, reach out to me. Let's have a conversation on the side.
