I wouldn't go to anything you put on.

as far as i have seen it, success and community do not need to symbiotic.

community as being discussed in our phx circle as of late has a specific definition, and I am referencing this definition in my comment.

I would separate this into two post columns.:
Show up where the need is with a sharp spear and a good reputation, you will find success... (and not so much a community)

show up to community with the same and you will get a power drink, good talk and probably no business.

i am also using business as my measure of success in this post.

some consider success as being known in a community, me not so much.

the rest of the post's intrinsic thesis bout being an active vehicle of change would apply only if you care about change.

cool thought. thanks again for posting.
