Everyone has questions but it's YOUR wisdom that is the most valuable to the bootverse. <br /> Just observe the questions posed by others and respond to those questions that are in your area of expertise or interest. The &quot;map&quot; of the bootverse will then draw itself for you.<br /> <br /> == Bijoy ==<br /> For a newcomer, this can be overwhelming. To get yourself situated, do a couple of things:<br /> <br /> #Read the [[Bootstrap Community Playbook]] which explains how we work<br /> #Scan through the wiki and pick a few key subgroups that look interesting to you and join them. When you do, drop the Subgroup Lead a note introducing yourself.<br /> #Attend a bootstrap meeting or a subgroup meeting and start getting to know your fellow bootstrappers <br /> #Once you attend a meeting, you will get an email to create your Bootstrap ID and Bootkarma account. Once you do, you can offer your time on Bootkarma and trade with other bootstrappers.<br /> <br /> ==Marcy Hoen==<br /> <br /> your words of wisdom<br /> <br /> ==Nancy Schill==<br /> <br /> * When you first arrive to Bootstrap, attend one of the main meetings held from 6-8 pm on the 2nd Monday of the month. Introduce yourself to me, Bijoy, Kevin, or one of the other Bootstrap Contributors. Come prepared with a question or interest for your business and tell us. Then, we can point you in the direction of the person who leads that initiative or who may be able to assist you.<br /> <br /> * Put your profile on the Bootstrap Network and request to join the Connector initiative. * a key to Bootstrap is that we will not seek you out or hold your hand. You ''must'' take initiative for your interests and/or needs, but ''hold on'' because the wealth of resources and support in this group are immeasurable!<br /> <br /> * Keep yourself present and active in the groups (main and sub of interest).<br /> <br /> * Ask questions, offer to support the community, offer to take initiatives.<br /> <br /> * Develop relationships!!! (according to me, this is KEY). Review information about MRE and dance partners to guide you in strategically focusing on developing the most complementary relationships first.<br /> <br /> * Take the Bootstrap Bootcamp online.

Scroll up to the top if necessary to see these instructions again.<br /> <br /> ;Login: Click the &quot;log in&quot; link at the very top right of this browser page.

Scroll up to the top if necessary to see these instructions again.<br /> <br /> ;Login: Click the &quot;log in&quot; link at the very top right of this browser page.
