The Importance Of Community

Have you ever attended an event or conference and been bored out of your mind?

Ever signed up for a “mastermind” or other exclusive gathering which promises to completely change your life and dump piles of cash at your feet?

Are you tired of walking away from events such as these with a notebook or file on your laptop full of ideas that sits completely ignored as you get “back to reality”?

If you answered yes to to any of these questions then read on because I have a few hard truths to share with you.

Truths about the difference between attending an event and achieving your goals.

And why immersing yourself in the RIGHT community is so important.

We’ve heard it all before…

The first thing they try to pull you in with is an “all star” speaker lineup. Then you’re hit with a promise of exclusive content…

And it’s all tied together with a nice bow of fancy food and a snazzy place to stay.

While enticements of this nature are glamorous they don’t really help you in your personal or professional life.

The reality is there are very few gatherings that live up to all the hype.

But I found one and wanted to take just a minute to tell you why I’m so attracted to it. It’s called Baby Bath Water.

Weird name, incredible experience.

Why? Because the founders Michael Lovitch and Hollis Carter are on a mission. That mission is simple.

Be the best version of YOU, that you can be.

Which means there aren’t any people slinging business cards or asking “what do you do for a living?”.

It’s simply a place for entrepreneurs, business owners, and creators to come together to share their knowledge.

Community members own or are involved with business across the spectrum. Their experiences give birth to a environment that allows you to choose your own adventure.

At Baby Bath Water events, you are completely free to do as you choose:

• Participate in a workshop with the faculty
• Get involved in one of the panels
• Enjoy the outdoors
• Join your new friends for a drink or three
• Eat your face off with healthy, home-cooked, delicious food
• Dance all night to live music

Never get pitched! All Baby Bathwater events are “No Pitch Zones”.

This means no pitching from the staff or members so everyone can be fully present and exchange REAL value.

If you want to go skiing, hiking, climbing, mountain biking or just sit in the hot tub and talk to other members you can. There’s no pressure to sit in a room all day furiously jotting down notes.

No FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). Just a bunch of highly vetted incredible people coming together to share their personal and professional knowledge.

A true community.

Now for those of you who are more analytical by nature… you may be thinking something along the lines of “that sounds awesome! But what’s the real ROI on something like that?”.

I get it. We all want to succeed and achieve our goals. As Beachbody SVP and founder of Round Two Partners Babak Azad says:

“My sense is that the relationships I'm building here, whether it's the people here or people they know, is going to lead to something. Otherwise, I wouldn't come back.”

But you don’t have to take his word for it.

Baby Bath Water has a slew of testimonials from members who swear by the value of the community.

They understand the NEED for a truly unique experience which facilitates personal and professional growth.

Ryan Levesque, best selling author of ASK and creator of the ASK METHOD says this about Baby Bath Water:

“It was just magic. It was an experience that I’ll remember for the rest of my life. Everybody here has this tremendous sense of contribution.”

I could go on and on but at this point I think the message is clear.

If you’re not already involved in an incredible community stop what you’re doing and make that a priority.

I highly recommend Baby Bath Water. But even if you don’t think it’s a good fit for you… take the time to find a community that helps you achieve your goals. A base of people who want to help you grow.

Your future depends on it.
