The Entrepreneur Village (Manifesto)
If we are going to be in community, it is important for us all to understand what the community stands for, so I wrote a manifesto about it.
I have always loved creating community. My first business, right out of college was a game store, which was wildly successful except for never making any money. The community created there was incredible.
When I discovered the Skool platform, I saw the opportunity to create a new kind of community.
The first thing I did was to personally invite key people who I knew would set the right culture and tone, but as we approach one month in and pass 100 members, I know it is important to make clear what this community is an is not.
So I decided to create a set of Entrepreneur Villager Values.
But then my friend Mitch Russo suggested I take it a step further: Write an entire Manifesto!
Who are we?
Who are we not?
What do we stand for?
What do we stand against?
Why do we stand together.
I would love your feedback, either in the comments on this post, or by commenting on the document directly.
And the Values? They are These:
💡 Honesty - A Villager seeks to always be honest and truthful, and never uses deceit or deception to make sales.
🦁 Courage – A Villager seeks to stand up for values, take entrepreneurial risks, and be a light in the world that inspires others.
🤩 Service - A Villager seeks to serve people and finds income as a side effect of serving, rather than seeking money with service as a side effect.
🤝Community - A Villager seeks to help their fellow Villagers with their advice, network, and support.
👀 Watchfulness - A Villager seeks to protect their fellow Villagers, and all people, from Villains by warning them off and recommending providers with Villager Values
😁 Fun - A Villager seeks to make work and life enjoyable for themselves and those around them, recognizing that both business and life are too serious to not contain laughter and smiles.
🔥 Purpose - A Villager seeks higher purpose in their own work and seeks to support the higher purposes of others.
💸 Abundance - A Villager seeks to bring success to all, recognizing that there is more than enough for all of us and that competition is a myth.
🌱 Growth – A Villager seeks self-improvement, always seeking to improve themselves as a person to better serve others and themselves.
⚖️ Discernment – A Villager seeks to recognize nuance, understanding when one does harm through malice versus incompetence, and always seeking to see our fellow human through eyes of empathy rather than judgment.
