The Importance of Tribe as an Entrepreneur

“Tribe” describes the community with whom you identify and surround yourself. The people in your corner, the people who are vying for your success as much as their own. They come in all shapes and sizes, and they are important for both you and your business. 

Collaboration is key in any successful operation, and having a tribe is the perfect opportunity to make it happen. It gives you access to an incredible pool of individuals with different backgrounds and experiences - entrepreneurs on similar journeys who can offer advice, feedback, or even encouragement during a rough patch. Your Tribe will be there for you during your ups, your downs, and your in-betweens. A tribe that shares your passion and drive can take your business to the next level. Employees, coworkers, and other entrepreneurs that are not only dedicated but excited for the next meeting, the next project, the next step in your plan can make or break your success.

Connecting to a new community can be difficult - it almost always is. Tribe helps open doors for new community members, while giving more experienced voices a chance to mentor the next generation. Whether you are new to the area or new to the business, having a group to support, nurture, and guide you puts you one step closer to your goals. If you’ve been in the game for years, establishing or connecting with your Tribe gives you a chance to share your wisdom and help an entrepreneur. 

It isn’t about what you know, it’s about who you know. Your Tribe is not just an emotional support group - it is a group of professionals with a much bigger skill set than your own. It connects you with people who have the tools and resources to solve whatever challenge you may face. If they don’t, then they know someone who does. 

Connect with your Tribe at the Flourish Media Conference in Miami Florida this February! Grab your ticket here.
