Episode 5 - Community Over Competition--How Natalie Franke Rose Above and Raised Her Community With Her.
Have you ever seen a small meetup in your local coffee shop turn into a community of more than seventy thousand entrepreneurs globally? Our guest today has.
Episode Introduction:
In this episode of Law Chat With Girija, we are accompanied by someone who truly believes and is pretty much one of the founding members of the essence of “Community Over Competition”. Natalie Franke, founder of the Rising Tide society comes on the law chat mic today to share what inspired her to build a community that’s all about lifting each other up.
Episode Summary:
Natalie shares her story beginning right from her early years in the business where she was told she can’t do certain things, she opens up about being the only creative business owner in a family full of people from a science background, her health problems, and how she built Rising Tide into the massive movement that it has become today with more than seventy thousand members and four hundred chapters across the globe.
Main Takeaways:
People will always tell you that you can’t do certain things and more often than not, they are coming from a place where they are worried about what the failure will do to you -- you need to overcome that.
When people are advising you against something you’re passionate about, mute their voices, and continue to do your thing.
Being a part of a community is not only morally uplifting but networking also helps your business.
You need to build resilience in order to understand your goals better and achieve them.
You don’t need perfection to succeed, you need integrity.
The mistakes that we think are uncommon and have been made before, we need to be able to come in front of a community and tell them, and more often than not, help is present for us.
