"Give me a place to stand and a lever long enough and I will move the world." ~ Archimedes, 220 BC
No matter who or what or where you are, you have everything you need to build your tribe. It's all in there -- or out there -- somewhere. All you have to do is find it... and use it.
Don't hold back. Don't hesitate. Don't make excuses.
You can sit there and tell yourself that you "can't," or you can get out there and find a way to make it happen.
We (that's me and you) are better equipped than anyone in history to get connected to the people who care. All it takes is the right leader, the right tool, the right words, the right moment. YOU are that leader. You have the tools and the passion and the understanding of what your tribe needs. There are people out there who want to hear from you. They need your vision and your connection. The time for you to act was yesterday... so what are you still waiting around for?
You have exactly the leverage you need -- and you only need a little. (Hint: The internet gives you a LOT.) All you need in order to succeed is the willingness to try.
I'm completely serious. Just... try.
So? Go leverage something already!

Great post Megan! It is exactly what people need to hear for 2009. Nothing has changed since Archimedes!
