Coming up with an innovative business idea is one way to launch a business, but the key to success in doing this is getting your first follower.
Derek Sivers, founder of music distribution site CDBaby.com, has an excellent video that explains the concept of the “first follower” and how important it is. He explains it better than I could – please take 3 minutes of your time to watch and read the explanation.
This is such an awesome video. Derek actually inspired me to create a social movement to unleash ideas and build networks by doing 5-minute well prepared talks that are thought provoking, inspirational, and fun. I am up to six followers now and I am blogging about the experience. Going through the process I can totally relate to the lone nut and the importance of getting that first follower.
Glad to hear you were so inspired! Good luck continuing to build your followers, Jeff.
