things to consider…(Key)
Do not let perspective get in the way of vision. Your own perception can become a leash.
GIVE Purpose. Get Power.(Replace consumers with contributors.)
The Crowd is not inherently good. It’s power can make you – but it can also break you.
The Crowd is not the
ONLY WAY.
Leverage the power of the crowd to enter traditional consumer channels.
We’re all in this TOGETHER.
