      Great Stuff indeed! many bulb on moments..building a culture of mutual trust and support within the group/community being the prominent one and very hard to accomplish but a very fulfilling one if done by heart.. Thanks Sidz

    • Jaya Poojitha S

      Hi Sidz!

      Thank you for sharing the episode. Getting inspired with your consistency. It has become a habit for me to listen to your podcast daily and learn something new everyday.

      Here are my takeaways:

      There are two types of fans:
      Main stream fame – like movie stars
      Niche fame – micro celebrities who serve their micro niche market

      It’s not fame, it’s about delivering value and impact to the micro community.

      The 10 Steps:
      1. Have a mission bigger than you. It should directly from your heart (core level)

      2. Take a stand for something and identify who is that bad guy

      3. Attract customers by adding values. Create a tangible solution for a problem, voice out the mission and attract customers.

      4. Create a code of honour

      5. Culture of mutual respect and support

      6. Create a set of phrases to identify your tribe from others

      7. Show up every week and deliver value. Make them feel you are for them

      8. Create a customer experience that is habit forming like writing writing goals, affirmations etc

      9. Create offline experience

      10. Help them get results in their life and business

      * Be authentic
      * Mission first, Community second, Me third
      * Present with strong logic
      * Show empathy
      * Vulnerability – open to share your flaws

    • Runa Mazumder

      Thought Provoking.

      Take Away
      1. Lovely uplifting Music after the closure
      2. Main Stream Fame vs Niche Fame ; creating your own set of Fans with whom you can Laugh & Cry , Unlearn & Learn in the process of delivering value
      3. Micro Celebrity – very apt and we are doing that everyday without even realizing how big an impact we can create just by changing someone’s life for the better
      4. Showing up to establish the fact that you are there for your fans – earning trust
      5. Trust cannot be bought by running ads – just so much true and genuine. Trust can only be established by admitting the flaws – being vulnerable
      6 Indoctrination of the fans – Freedom , growth , efficiency & Clarity
      7. focusing on customer creation – some transaction to happen – Serious people who spend money are willing to stick around and grow together
      8. Create a Stance – Vibe with your own ideology
      9. Creating a Tangible solution
      10. Create a Vocabulary which would resonate with the tribe and the tribe culture

      Amazing feeling while preparing to start the day!!!
      Thanks Siddharth

      #ilhdeeplearner #ilhfamily

      Mainstream fame Vs Micro Niche fame. Comparing these 2 fames, niche fame is the one that gives freedom.

      Kevin Kelly’s 1000 raving fans concept. You only need 1000 raving fans to be financially independent. To build a community of such raving fans, you have to earn trust. Trust can’t be bought, it should be earned. Ads can help buy attention, but not trust.

      1. Have a MISSION bigger than YOU. It should be from a core level, truly from the core of your heart.
      2. Take a STANCE. Identify who is the bad guy. Repel those audiences who you don’t want. You can’t please everybody. So, those who resonate with you, vibe with you will become your raving fans.
      3. Attract the customers by DELIVERING VALUE. Create a tangible solution for a problem and attract customers who resonate with your content. Not just likes & followers, but those who make a transaction.
      4. Indoctrinate your customers with a CODE OF HONOUR. (setting values). Ensure you follow the code of honour yourself.
      5. Create a CULTURE of mutual respect & support irrespective of their caste, creed, race or religion.
      6. Create a VOCABULARY that identifies with your tribe. Like BIO, BO, GO (bring it on, bulb on, game on etc)
      7. SHOW UP every week, deliver value and make your fans feel that they are getting benefitted. True quality of a community leader.
      8. Create a CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE that is habit forming. Create rituals that you can ask your tribe to follow. (Goal writing, music playing, etc)
      9. Create OFFLINE EXPERIENCE which can deepen the bond. Atleast do it for your premium customers. Live training, retreat kind of.
      10. Help them get RESULTS in their life and in their business.

      4 Elements to build trust.

      1. Be Authentic
      2. Present knowledge with strong logic
      3. Empathy – Be a people lover (mission first, community second, myself third)
      4. Vulnerability – Openly share your flaws

    • Nivedita Brahma

      Building Deep Connection with people, especially a strong community with my raving fans
      There has to be a higher purpose – rather than aiming to become famous, let us have a higher vision- “I am not the centre of equation, rather it is about my customers first.”

      2 types of fame – the first group is the mainstream famous stars that belong to areas of sports, movies etc (lots of fame and respect but restricted freedom to interact in public ), the other group is the niche famed leaders, who has immense freedom to interact with their core community of fans – delivering value to their lives.

      Earn your Trust, rather than building it.

      Here are the Top 10 steps to build a community of raving fans-
      1. Have a Mission bigger than ‘me’
      What you do = Benefit the society

      2.Identify who is the ‘bad guy’ – What needs to be mended?
      In case of ILH, the bad guy here is the broken education and employment system.
      Let’s align ourselves and ask – What do I want to do to give service to our society?
      3. Attract customers by delivering value – VOICE YOUR MISSION
      Eg making meaningful podcasts- content that resonates with our customers

      Invest Money = Makes us Pay Attention = Results = Cycle repeats…

      4. Indoctrinate customers with a Code of honour
      What is your Code of Honour as a founder of your business?

      Taking an example from ILH- abundance, contribution/charity.
      Building a foundation of value system first…

      5. Culture of mutual respect and support
      A culture that transcends individual cultures and creates a core community of trust, respect and support – Building an accountability system
      ‘Being there for each other’ – through Meet ups, Inner Circle Meet, private Social Network
      6. Create a VOCABULARY that identifies your tribe from others
      Lingo related to my niche — Let’s Bring it on 🙂

      7. Show up for your tribe, be there as a true community leader

      8. Create a customer service that is habit forming
      Make strong habits for your raving fans, such as
      – Listen to the Strangest Secret daily
      – 2 pages goal daily
      -Write 20 ideas daily
      – Affirmations daily
      – Participation in Hackathons
      – Listen to Sidz’s beautiful music 🙂

      9. Create offline experiences
      – Individual connection
      -Live training experiences, Quantum retreats
      – Make your community know you as a person in flesh and blood.

      10. Help people get results both in personal and professional life

      4 elements in business-
      1. Authenticity = 100%transparency
      2. Strong logic
      3. Have EMPATHY – Its all about sticking to the MISSION first – Community second- Me (keeping myself last)
      4. Being okay with showing your Vulnerability – sharing your flaws openly

      Feeling grateful and blessed to go through the podcast 🙂
      Thank you Siddharth.

      10 steps to build a community of raving fans
      main points_if pursuit is just fame n yourself you will not succeed , PURITY is MUST to build lifetime customers ,
      main stream fame _ cricketers ,movie stars_lost their freedom
      niche fame_developed fame within their micro_community by solving a specific
      problem
      niche fame is more preferable
      Article by Kevin kelly_ If you hv 1,000 genuine fans paying 1000$ per year , then you hv freedom _ to come to this point you need to build trust on a really DEEP LEVEL .
      You can’t buy trust , YOU HAVE TO EARN IT !
      4 elements of building trust on a really DEEPER
      LEVEL _ 1 .you need to hv a mission that’s bigger than you -truly from the core of the heart you should feel _what you are doing is for benefit of others .
      2.you hv to take stand on something n you also hv to identify who is the ‘bad guy’
      my stand_YOU CAN BE SUCCESSFUL WITHOUT GOING THROUGH FORMAL EDUCATION SYSTEM !
      Analogy stand point – formal education system is the bad guy _ I learnt it through my exemplery mentors .
      My mission_to build a community of TEACHERS WHO ARE IMPLEMENTERS and to also prove to the world _they don’t need to conform to society’s norms _they can build a very successful business n a lifestyle of purpose by aligning themselves to what they truly want to do .
      3.attract customers by delivering value
      my whole process _I keep posting videos and podcasts like these_attract people who resonate and vibe with this content ,they keep coming back ,those who don’t vibe they leave. those who vibe end up coming to webinars and they buy my product , I want a transaction to happen ,when people transact with you, they are more serious and committed to the process . PEOPLE WHO PAY MONEY PAY ATTENTION , _
      PEOPLE WHO PAY ATTENTION , TAKE ACTION .
      PEOPLE WHO TAKE ACTION GET RESULTS .
      In a knowledge business you can give free information but ultimately more serious people will do transaction with you. This is step 3 _attract customers by delivering genuine value and voicing out your mission .
      4.Create a set of values they can follow and live by, set a code of honour _freedom ,growth ,clarity ,,efficiency ,abundance and charity _giving back to society
      it is very important to set these values first before you can give them actual solution and it is all the more important you live by these values otherwise you will be a hypocrite, if you don’t follow ,audience over a period of time will realize that you are just fake _you are wearing mask and you are not living what actually you are saying .
      next step _create a culture of mutual respect ,support and value irrespective_of cast ,culture ,creed and religion .
      In religious movement _leader who is charismatic becomes the centre and controller of the movement ,each one may hv their own faith , transcend all tags and you need to repect ,you need to create a culture _where there is mutual respect for each other _this is what will create long term stickability in communities .
      many people posing themselves entrepreneurs build community but its just centered around a skill and people don’t respect each_other _this mutua support and respect you need to install in your community ,
      _in my system we have accountability system-facilitators who help other members _meet ups happening every single week where people can and ask questions
      _we have systems ,set_ups_people can questions and get answers within 24 hrs
      _no self promotion _ give value to others
      step 6_with mutual respect and support also create a vocabulary of the tribe just like I use words ‘BIO_Bring it on ‘ game on , bulb on _thus people are able to identify themselves with this tribe as compared to other tribes
      step 7_every week you must show up deliver value people should feel you are there for them no matter what _that’s a true quality of a community leader .
      step 8_create a customer experience that is habbit forming for eg_I ask my community people to listen daily _strangest secret of Earl Nightingale , daily write affirmations ,daily write their goals
      my inner circle calls , hackathons are habbit forming initiatives_I also play music that is also habbit forming _people keep coming back for more
      step 9._deepen the bond with your core customers _for eg. We just had a QUANTUM MEMBERS RETREAT _ 50 families of our QUANTUM MEMBERS came together _I invested lot of money to give them the EXPERIENCE which they WILL NEVER FORGET for the rest of their lives ! _we had music , dance, excellent delicious sattvik food , we laughed together , cried together _thus we build more meaningful connections ! _ I still remember I met my mentor Vick for the first time it was unbelievable and a real experience _after that
      physical meet something shifted in me !
      step 10_ help them get results in their business if you are catering to their business needs ,
      YOU CAN’T BUY TRUST , YOU HAVE TO EARN IT ! 4 elements to build TRUST are_
      1.AUTHENTICITY
      2.PRESENT YOUR KNOWLEDGE WITH A STRONG LOGIC
      3.EMPATHY _you really need to care for your people otherwise it will never work .my mentor says_ MISSION 1 ST
      COMMUNITY 2 ND
      ME 3 RD
      you should be the LAST PRIORITY _There should be NO SELF_CENTEREDNESS
      4.VULNERABILITY _The more vulnerable you are , you are openly able to share your flaws , that’s going to deepen the bond with your customers .
      I would love to serve you , help you achieve your goals ,cheers and GOD BLESS !

    • Gaurav

      Great podcast @Sidz.. #ILH thanks for sharing this

      My takeaways:

      A. Mainstream celebrity vs micro celeb .. your aim should be to be a micro celeb

      B. All you need is a 1000 true fans.. and even if they pay you 100 USD per year you can be financially free

      C. Build Trust through value

      – It’s not abou you but about serving
      – They should be on the centre
      – You have to build trust you can’t buy it

      •Authenticity and transparency
      •Present your knowledge with strong logic…not surface level stuff
      •Empathy- be a people lover… Mission first, community second me las
      •Vulnerability

      D. Steps to build trust and get raving fans

      Step 1 mission that is bigger than you (not fame …but from core not script).. feel that what you are doing is for benefit of others

      Step 2 Take a stance – identify who is bad guy..attract but repel as well – Magnetic pole … And ones who vibe with your ideology will be your fans

      3 Attract customers by creating value… Tangible solution for a problem, voice out the mission, attact customers and add value
      Aim for getting them to transaction- it shows seriousness

      4 Indoctrinate your customers with a code of honour … Values they should live by (like COH in Sidz’ community)
      Set the values first..live by them and

      5. Create a culture of mutual respect and support … Not like a charismatic cult leader … This will create long term stickability in communities

      6. Create a vacaulary that identifies your tribe from others Eg bulb on, game on, BIO etc that Sid uses

      7. Show up every week and deliver value… Every second of energy spent should give a feel that you are there for them

      8. Create a habit forming customer experience…instill habits and behaviour not just teach technology and tools.. eg Sidz asks his tribe to listen to strangest secrets, code of honour, read goals, 20 ideas, affirmations, music after call.

      9. Create offline experiences to deepen the bond..eg. Sidz’ quantum meet with premium customers .. trainings or retreats etc bring your tribe near to you. E.g Sidz’ meeting Wick was a surreal experience

      10. Help them get results in their life and business

      Thank you Sidz.

      Attracting a community of Raving Fans will only happen when you have the purity.

      There are two types of fame
      i) Mainstream Fame
      This category of people are so popular that they have lost their freedom.
      Example – Film Star, Cricketers
      ii) Niche Fame
      This category of people are famous within their community and provide value to their customers.
      Example – People who serves the micro niche market

      10 Steps to build a community of Raving Fans

      1> You need to have a mission that is bigger than you. and it should be from the heart.

      2> You need to take a stand to build a unique system which can provide maximum value to your audience.

      3> Attracting more people by delivering more value.

      4> Let your customer aware of your purpose by building a proper code of conduct.

      5> Create a culture where people can mutually respect each other and support in your community.

      6> Create your uniqueness by using a set of vocabulary/ phrases.
      Ex- BIO (Bring it On), BO (Bulb On)

      Thank you for the wonderful podcast Siddharth Sir..
      To be specific- “IT’S NOT A FAME GAME.YOU WILL ATTRACT THE RAVING FANS ONLY WHEN YOU ARE NOT THE CENTRE OF ATTRACTION.”
      Mainstream Fame Vs Niche Fame.. Niche fame preferred(impact micro community with freedom in life)
      Be a Micro Celebrity. As Kevin Kelly wrote in his Article “1000 True Fans”- Only 1000 loyal customer who pay you are far more enough than millions fans who are not committed, because those who value you – pay you and if they pay they are the action takers. Need to build trust to have raving fans. FB ads or any social media help you to get market attention ,but you need to build trust by solving their problem.
      10 steps are-
      1.The Mission should be Bigger than you..( it should come from your heart)
      2.Take a stance and identify the bad guy
      3.Attract customer by delivering values: Create a tangible solution – voice it out –if they resonate- they transact.. they are the serious people4
      4.Indoctrination with Code of Honour: Set defined values – you follow them first..live with it – then customer will also follow you.
      5.Create a culture of Mutual Respect & Support : This helps in creating long term stackability in community.
      6.Create your own /specific vocabulary: Like Bring it on!!, Bulb on!! as used by Siddharth Sir. Then your fans would use it naturally and show a connect with the community.
      7.Show up every week to deliver value: Builds more trust so that they know that the leader is available whenever needed.
      8.Create a customer experience by cultivating habits & behaviour : As we do in ILH- listen to Earl Nightingale everyday, read affirmations, etc.
      9.Create Offline Experiences: This helps deepen the connection with your customer. Transform their lives by creating great connections.
      10.Help your customer/fans get the results in their life & business.

      Finally TRUST BULDING is most important and it can be achieved by these 4 elements-
      1.Authenticity,
      2.Knowledge presentation with Logic,
      3.Be Empathetic – Mission first, community second & Lastly You(relates to its not a fame game) &
      4. Vulnerability.

      #ILHdeeplearn

      Great podcast @Sidz.. #ILH thanks for sharing this

      My takeaways:

      A. Mainstream celebrity vs micro celeb .. your aim should be to be a micro celeb

      B. All you need is a 1000 true fans.. and even if they pay you 100 USD per year you can be financially free

      C. Build Trust through value

      – It’s not abou you but about serving
      – They should be on the centre
      – You have to build trust you can’t buy it

      •Authenticity and transparency
      •Present your knowledge with strong logic…not surface level stuff
      •Empathy- be a people lover… Mission first, community second me las
      •Vulnerability

      D. Steps to build trust and get raving fans

      Step 1 mission that is bigger than you (not fame …but from core not script).. feel that what you are doing is for benefit of others

      Step 2 Take a stance – identify who is bad guy..attract but repel as well – Magnetic pole … And ones who vibe with your ideology will be your fans

      3 Attract customers by creating value… Tangible solution for a problem, voice out the mission, attact customers and add value
      Aim for getting them to transaction- it shows seriousness

      4 Indoctrinate your customers with a code of honour … Values they should live by (like COH in Sidz’ community)
      Set the values first..live by them and

      5. Create a culture of mutual respect and support … Not like a charismatic cult leader … This will create long term stickability in communities

      6. Create a vacaulary that identifies your tribe from others Eg bulb on, game on, BIO etc that Sid uses

      7. Show up every week and deliver value… Every second of energy spent should give a feel that you are there for them

      8. Create a habit forming customer experience…instill habits and behaviour not just teach technology and tools.. eg Sidz asks his tribe to listen to strangest secrets, code of honour, read goals, 20 ideas, affirmations, music after call.

      9. Create offline experiences to deepen the bond..eg. Sidz’ quantum meet with premium customers .. trainings or retreats etc bring your tribe near to you. E.g Sidz’ meeting Wick was a surreal experience

      10. Help them get results in their life and business

      Thank you Sidz.

      Cheers

      Deep gratitude to you Siddharth for helping many thousands achieve their dreams.
      PRINCIPLES OF FOUNDATION:-
      💥 Having deep connection with people is more important than being famous.
      💥 Niche fame is better than mainstream fame as it gives more freedom.
      💥 Kevin Kelly says in ” Thousand True Fans” that even if you have 1000 loyal members as customers; it is better than having millions of fans as it is fulfilling for the community and the micro celebrity.
      💥 You have to build trust. Trust can’t be bought by money, it has to be earned. You can always by attention through ads , but not trust.

      TEN STEPS TO ATTRACT CUSTOMERS FOR LIFE:-
      1. You have to have a mission ( for the benefit of others) that is bigger than you which is felt from the core of your heart.
      2. Take a stance on something to create a new system. Identify the bad guy in your journey and start talking about it.
      3. Attract the customers by delivering value while voicing out your mission. You have to create a tangible solution to the problem. When people do transaction with you, they are more committed and then they take action and only action takers create results.
      4. Create a set of values and habits they have to stand by but remember to live by those values first.
      5. Create a culture of mutual respect and support for each other in order to have a long term stickability of the members.
      6. Create a specific vocabulary ( phrases and words like bring it on, bulb on) that are unique to your community
      7. Show up every week and deliver value with good energy. They should feel that you are always there for them.
      8. Create customer experience that is habit forming with rituals that go into their daily lives like writing goals, listening to “The Strangest Secret” , writing down 20 ideas, reading affirmations etc.
      9. Create offline experience to deepen the bond with them.
      10. Help them get results in their life and business.
      FOUR ELEMENTS TO BUILD TRUST-
      * Authenticity
      * Presenting knowledge with strong logic
      * Empathy- Genuine care about people
      * Vulnerability
      TIP BY VICK-
      The priority sequence is as follows:
      1. Mission
      2. Community
      3. Me

      Thanks a ton, Sid for making me a selfless giver and trainer. Enjoying the journey!

    • Rajiv Bhatnagar

      My takeaway from this podcast:

      There are two types of fame:
      1. Main Stream Fame – like movie stars, cricketers (no freedom of movement in public place)
      2. Niche Fame – it delivers values to the micro-community, where you are not at centre of attraction.

      10 steps to build community:
      1. You must have Mission bigger than you, truly from core of heart.
      2. Need to identify who is a bad guy (what is irrelevant in today’s scenario) and create a new system.
      3. Attract your paid customers by delivering value through voice out in your mission.
      4. Indoctrinate set of values/habits/Code of Conduct. You also live by those values otherwise people will think you are fake.
      5. Create a culture of mutual respect and support helping each other irrespective of their background. There must be accountability system in community.
      6. Create a vocabulary (set of phrases like BIO, Bulb on) that identify your tribes from others.
      7. Show up every single week to deliver the good value, make people feel that they are important.
      8. Create a customer experience that is Habit Forming – you should install habits/culture like read affirmations daily, write goals every day.
      9. Create offline experiences – like live training events – that deepen the bond with the core customers. Let people share their experiences.
      10. Help them get results in their lives and business as well.

      You need to build trust. You cannot buy trust. And to achieve this 4 elements are required:
      1. Authenticity- be real and 100% transparent
      2. Present your knowledge with strong Logic
      3. Empathy – really love and care for people
      4. Vulnerability- Be open to your community and share your flaws.

      Absolutely resonate with the fact that coaching is not about the coach but the impact the coach creates.

      Any given point of time, serving the micro niche market and adding value to the community.

      Raving fans who appreciate the value you deliver is fulfilling and one has to earn it.

      10 steps to build a community of raving fans

      1) your mission has to be bigger than you, one should be able to connect with the mission deeply.
      2) take a stand for what you believe in. Know what is not serving the audience and let them know about it.
      3) attract customers, by delivering the value to them.
      4) create and set values in the form of code of honour, follow them yourself to be authentic.
      5) create a culture of mutual respect in the community of raving fans. This will create long term connection
      6) create a vocabulary that differentiates your tribe from other tribes. Anchoring phrases that connect with a feeling or emotion

      “10 Steps To Build a Community of Raving Fans”

      If your pursuit is become famous then this is not for you. Attracting a Community of Raving fans happens when you are not the center of the equation.

      There are 2 kinds of fans :
      a) Mainstream Fame – Like Cricketers, Movie Stars. They can walk open and they are guarded by huge security. They do not have Freedom.
      b) Nice Fame – There are so many Superstars who developed a fame in their Community, they can go to any place with Freedom. They serve Micro Niche Market.

      If you have 1000 true Fans who are willing to give you what you deserve for the value exchange, that will fulfill the Community. For this you have to build Trust.

      Top Learnings –
      1. Mission Bigger than You – You have to have a Bigger Mission from the Core of your Heart for the benefit of others.

      2. Take a stand for something – Stand for your mission and prove to the world who is the bad guy. People who will be able to vibe your ideology, will be your super fans.

      3. Delivering Value – You must deliver the values & provide solution for what you have committed. People who pay Money, pay Attention.
      People who pay Attention, take Action.
      People who take Action, get Results.

      4. Indoctrinate your customer with the Code of Honor – Set the values first before you talk about the solution you are teaching. Live by the Values. If you do not follow the values, then people will understand that you are Fake. Live what you Say.

      5. Culture of Mutual Respect & Support – Create a Culture where people have mutual respect for each other. Have Accountability System, Facilitators, Solution oriented Private Social Networks. No Self Promotions.

      6. Create Vocabulary that Identify Your Tribe – A set of words or phrases which can be a vocabulary of your Tribe.

      7. Show up and Deliver Value – Show Up every time and your Community should feel that you are for them and they are getting the benefit.

      8. Create a Customer Experience that is Habit Forming – Have a Culture to read Affirmations, write 10 ideas daily, Play Music, etc.

      9. Create Offline Experiences – Meet Offline so that people have a great experience where they can share negativities, problems, etc. and build more meaningful connections.

      10. Help them get Results – Help your community getting the results in their life or business.

      Four elements to build trust :
      a) Authenticity
      b) Present knowledge with strong Logic
      c) Empathy
      d) Vulnerability

      My takeaways interspersed with my thoughts and learning:

      As we aim to build digital islands of learning/teaching/doing ecosystems, we may (maybe not) cut through the geopolitical frostiness that seems to afflict the world at the moment. The education industry playing field, in the past with India being a powerhouse, and later the balance tilting to the west, is now starting to get levelled up with the popularity rise in digital learning ecosystems/communities.

      Building cohesive digital learning communities can certainly one-up and threaten traditional education systems. Some of the ways to build a magnetic community is to have GOAL clarity; being steadfast on the MISSION; being transparent and vulnerable with community members, and delivering VALUE to your community members in your own idiosyncratic way.

      One interesting thing I noted from this podcast is to leverage the power of WORDS/VOCABULARY to build an identity for your COMMUNITY/TRIBE.

      Most important, deliver RESULTS!
