Donât lose yourself in the process of building a community - authenticity is attractive. Building community is a one-way street; you have to give, give, give without expecting anything in return. Donât weigh yourself down with expectations. Cultivate a culture with values, these factors are what differentiate your community from the rest of the world. Â
Building human relationships is more dynamic than it is about planning; do what feels right at the moment even if it means compromising a long-term goal temporarily. Follow people who have done what youâre trying to do, and draw inspiration from the things theyâve done.
