A FIRM FOUNDATION, BUT KEEP THE TROWEL IN YOUR HAND

At this point you may be feeling a little overwhelmed by how much work needs to be done. The Community Participation Framework looks like there are lots of different pieces of work buried inside it, and you are not wrong. There is lots to do, but the good news is that it doesn’t all have to happen at once.

Think of the Community Participation Framework as the schematic for a building we want to build. Just like building a house, we start at the foundations and gradually build up from there. You don’t have to have all the answers—in fact, it is almost impossible that you do have all the answers. As we continue our journey through the book, we will keep building on these foundations until we have a strong base.

Reid Hoffman, cofounder of LinkedIn, once said, “If you’re not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you’ve launched too late.”12 He is spot on. Don’t wait until you have all the answers before you start building your community. Let your intuition guide you, but ship something. Deliver work that you can evaluate, evolve, and expand. This is how we get better and how we build great communities.
