 Your ability to move your ideas and your business forward (become unstuck) has lots to do with your community. Relationships are some of the most important resources in your business. Relationships help you build capacity and move forward. But, it's not always clear who to trust. That's where community comes in. Community creates standards and expectations of individuals in their relationships with others. Community is a layer of insurance in your important relationships.  

We talked about what it means to be a world builder before we got into the meat of the conversation. Dr. Kimberly reminded Contessa about a story she shared about playing with paper dolls and creating her own community as a young child. Like Contessa, many of you were created to be world builders, to be chaos and to disrupt systems that aren't working. 

We also talked about:

  • You Were Created To Build Worlds
  • Mentoring Is About Being A Glue For Each Other
  • Most Advice About Community Building is TRASH
  • Your Old Ways Of Thinking Is Keeping You Stuck
  • Chaos Is Not Anarchy But A Way To Create A Living, Dynamic Community
  • What is Community Value?
  • What Community Building In Real Time Looks Like

Here are some additional tools & resources
Chaos Theory
At the centre of Chaos Theory is the fascinating idea that order and chaos are not always diametrically opposed. Chaotic systems are an intimate mix of the two: from the outside they display unpredictable and chaotic behaviour, but expose the inner workings and you discover a perfectly deterministic set of equations ticking like clockwork.

Some systems flip this premise around, with orderly effects emerging out of turbulent and chaotic causes.

How can order on a small scale produce chaos on a larger scale? And how can we tell the difference between pure randomness and orderly patterns that are cloaked in chaos?

The answers can be found in three common features shared by most chaotic systems.
