How to Create A Movement

I don’t usually give the answers right away, but today, the topic is so important that I’m going to go straight for those answers. You can create a new movement, and you do so through three important elements: creating (or learning) a new language building a new community developing new leadership Ready to learn more about what this means, and how to implement these steps? Let’s start with the story of William G. Wilson (or Bill W.). In 1935, he found himself standing in a hotel lobby craving alcohol during a business trip. He narrowed his options down to two: order a drink in the hotel bar, or ask another recovering alcoholic for help. Fortunately, Bill chose the latter. He ended up arranging a meeting with Dr. Bob, an alcoholic surgeon. Their meeting was supposed to last 15 minutes, but they ended up talking for hours. They forged a deep friendship, which also led to Dr. Bob’s sobriety and the launch of Alcoholics Anonymous. As you’ll learn in this episode, the organization meets those three elements I mentioned of creating a new movement. If you’re not sure how this applies to your business, or how to use this information to create a movement of your own, this is the episode for you! I’ll dig deep into how these points about movement-building and recidivism relate to you, an ethical influencer. This is a powerful episode that I believe can truly help you turn your business into a movement, so don’t miss out.
