Today, we live in a noisy world. Everyone is vying for everyone else’s attention. So, what are we to do?
There are, of course, only two options. One is to be quiet and let the talkers talk. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with this, but that’s not always the right choice.
Recently, I read an interview with John Grisham, in which he shared how it took him three years to write his first book. He was a busy lawyer and a new dad, arguably in the busiest season of his life.
You have a tribe, an audience out there who is waiting for you to speak up.
While he was writing this book, he would occasionally go into a bookstore and look at the tens of thousands of books there, and wonder to himself, Who wants to hear from me?!
But the truth was lots of people did.
How to build your own tribe
