The Power of Community

Coming up with the theme for this year’s Flying Solo LIVE! wasn’t difficult. We get daily reminders of what’s possible when like-minded people come together. But what’s in it for you?

20 Jul 10 | Robert Gerrish

Quite a lot as it happens and I’m not just talking about our event. Whether you come or not, you’ll get to see the awesome speaker line-up through articles and videos, and of course we’ll be sharing notes from a number of the sessions as we always do. 

So if you don’t make it, or if we sell out as we have done each year, you’ll still get plenty of benefit. 

Don’t want to miss out? Secure your place now

But where the power of the Flying Solo community truly works for you is in finding answers. If you want support with a business challenge, you’ll find it here. 

Whether in the form of an article from our massive library; a hands-on workshop at Flying Solo LIVE! or direct from fellow business owners who’ve trodden the same path. 

Having the right solution is no accident. And it’s thanks to you. You may not realise that the findings from our biannual community survey determine precisely how we schedule our publishing; how we design our conference; how we develop our website. Frankly,  how we stay at the top of your game. 

Again, the power of community. 

Our forums – your forums – topped 11,000 members at the end of June and while numbers alone are fairly meaningless, the level and nature of activity is astonishing. Every second of every day, the forums are abuzz with conversation, learning, sharing and networking. 

Up to the minute proof of the power of community. 

Similarly our new directory attracts around twenty new members a day and from feedback we’re getting that too is bringing tangible benefits to those who have taken the time to develop a profile and broaden it through commenting on articles and participating in forum discussions. 

The handful of  soloists at FSHQ feel so fortunate to be custodians of this community and in just eight short weeks we’ll be lucky enough to rub shoulders with a few hundred of you and feel the power spark between us all.

How does being part of a community - any community - benefit your business?
