Would you consider yourself an activist? There are a lot of people who want to be active, but they are reticent to get involved due to negative connotations around “radical” activism. 

However, many times our passions bubble over and we do something, big or small. That’s activism! And, no, it’s not violent or radical. You may be surprised in all the ways activism is expressed today. The activism role has completely evolved, transforming the ways activism can be achieved in a way that meets you personally.

Do you ever wish you could just feel better? Given our modern society and Western medicine, it’s simple to throw over the counter medicines at our symptoms day-to-day and just get back to work. Over time, we get used to living with feelings of being unwell, it’s easy to feel we are just “existing.” If you’ve been feeling this way, some of these thoughts may be familiar to you:

• “I’m tired of the medical systems not helping me feel better.”
• “I want to live life without medicines, or at least reduce them.”
• “I know there is a better way to live, I just don’t know how to.”

 Once you’re ready to take on your own Important Work, creating and disseminating your message with marketing content is a huge part of growing a customer base and a tribe of like-minded people. Of course, simply learning the different methods like video, podcasting, blogs, social media, etc. can be just as challenging and time-consuming as the work itself. 

The frustration alone of simply marketing yourself leads people to throw up their hands and walk away. Of course, doing that is a losing proposition because if you want to build a tribe, you absolutely have to be spreading your message in the world.
