Why Communities Are the New Wealth Creation
Fill in the blanks to reinforce the big ideas from Lesson 1.
1. Communities create ________________ value, because members connect with each other, not just with you.
2. A product is a one-time transaction. A community is a long-term ________________.
3. On social media, you don't own your ________________ — the platform does.
4. Opportunities flow where ________________ grow.
5. Wealth today isn't just money. It's also ________________, ________________, and ________________.
Before moving to the next section, take 60 seconds to think about where you've personally experienced the power of community in your life or business. Write it in the margin!

4. What opportunities (partnerships, collaborations, referrals) could naturally emerge inside your own community?
