Communities are Social Assets

In financial terms, an asset is something that makes money while you sleep.

I like to think of communities as social assets. Especially when you run a community, it makes social capital for you while you sleep. It’s hard to maintain relationships and meet new people, being part of a community makes that easy.

For example, I started the Olive Tree Writing Club with a few friends more than two years ago. I’ve met so many amazing people and made many close friends during that time span because of this community. Instead of trying to find my people, I attract them to me instead.
