5 Min Friday: Why Community Beats Quiet Loneliness

In five-minute Friday, and today we're going to talk about why I decided to build different communities.

The reason community is so important, because in our day and age, the biggest challenge for most people is loneliness.

And it's not like people aren't going outside, they don't have friends, they don't have things like that.

No, it's loneliness in the regard that I have to be responsible for everything.

I have no one checking on me.

I'm going through this journey by myself.

I'm able to provide, I'm able to do all those things.

That's amazing.

But it's still, there's gotta be more to life than this.

And every single time I have a super impactful experience, it's always because of the community.

So when I think about that, I think about events I've gone to, such as like Tony Robbins, Unleash the Power Within, when I did masterminds, like Unblinded, when I did weekend retreats, when I went to Horizons, I always think these experiences are the things that cultivate deep, deep relationships.

And they're the things that make you feel the most alive.

So when you're sitting there, whether the community's a pickleball community, a run club, a gun club, it can be whatever, the church, it can be whatever community you want it to be.

But you need to find communities that you fit into.

Because most of us are not meant to be alone.

We should not be alone as often as we are.

And that's why working from home can be very challenging.

but also that leads to an amazing opportunity if you can have a great facilitator run a deep conversation for you that allows deep connection.

And that's exactly what I've been doing over the past six years, constantly meeting with people, having conversations, allowing them to have deep thoughts about what makes them tick and for them to better understand themselves and better understand their experience of how they're creating the life that they want.

And that's why I want you guys to constantly be thinking about what communities are good for me, what communities should I be a part of, and what areas – and a community can be something such as a business group.

It could be such as like I want to learn sales.

I'll join a sales group.

It could be whatever.

And a community is literally – two or more people.

So I want you to realize that it doesn't have to be 10,000 people because that's a different experience as well.
