The Purge
You may have noticed that I have removed 200 members from the community.
We have gone from around 500 members to just below 300.
That was intentional.
- Most people believe growth only comes from adding.
- More members.
- More customers.
- More followers.
- More noise.
That thinking is wrong.
- Sometimes you have to shrink to grow.
- Sometimes you have to squat to jump.
Building the right network, just like building the right business, is not about volume.
It is about alignment.
A network is a two way street.
A team is a two way street.
People can contribute in different ways.
- Experience.
- Insight.
- Energy.
- Support.
- Questions.
- Activity and engagement
- Action.
But everyone must contribute something.
Observer only participation dilutes standards.
It slows momentum.
It drains energy from those who are doing the work.
It dilutes the performance of the whole
As per my emails/posts before New Year
I removed around 200 people.
Not because they were bad people.
But because they were passengers, not participants.
Most founders are obsessed with keeping everyone.
I am obsessed with building the right environment.
Less noise.
More depth.
Less spectators.
More builders.
Trust me on this.
The fastest way to grow...
(and what helped me grow from zero to an 18000x return across 20+ countries)
is often to cut first.
So here is the question for you as we start a new year.
Look at your own business/life.
What needs to be cut?
What should have been cut months ago?
What are the anchors holding you back?
And what are the propellers helping you move forward?
Growth starts with honesty.
And sometimes, with a purge...
“The moment you feel the need to be liked is the moment you stop leading.”
