When Opportunity Knocks…

I can honestly say that Blazonfire most likely wouldn’t exist without Triiibes.

What is Triiibes? Well, one year ago marketing guru, Seth Godin, launched a website ahead of the publication of his book, Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us. He posted an invitation on his blog to join him on the site. There was a small window of opportunity to join before the door would be closed.

Those lucky enough to have joined early on have benefited in unbelievable ways. The grand social media experiment has spawned countless projects, books, websites and businesses (including this one). There is a certain camaraderie in Triiibes that I have found nowhere else. Members of the community are truly supportive of each others efforts. It’s as though each of us has a stake in the success of the others. It’s comforting to know that I have a safe place to go whenever I need answers. And let’s face it; it’s fun to be an expert every once in a while and answer questions that fall into my sphere of experience.

If I wasn’t already convinced that relationships were the key to success, than Triiibes cemented their initials into that concept. It was the kick in the pants I needed to create my business and help others to spread their ideas.

On the occasion of Triiibes birthday, some of the members have decided to write about our successes that are due in large part to our affiliation with the wonderful group of people we affectionately know as “Triiibesters.” I invite you to read their stories by following the link below which will take you to the next member’s blog.

Thanks for visiting Blazonfire. Here’s hoping your ideas are powerful enough to jolt you into action.

    It’s good to see new ventures, Paul. I hope you’re wildly successful.

    I will definitely refer people to you when I get the chance.

    Isn’t it funny how a silly comic can make you so famous?

    Happy Anniversary! Stick through the Dips.

    I guess when you do good work. Word gets around.

    Way to go getting mentioned on Seth’s blog today. That doesn’t happen every day. Hope you get a bunch of business from it.
