Everyone needs to watch this video of Derek Sivers narrating the famous video of one crazy dancing guy inspiring a huge crowd. Great insights on what it takes to start a movement. Taken from his TED Talk yesterday. Find the transcription here.
Key take away points:
- Remember the importance of nurturing your first few followers as equals, making everything clearly about the movement, not you.
- Be public. Be easy to follow!
- It was the first follower that transformed a lone nut into a leader.
