Fly Out Front

14 • You Got to Be a little bit Crazy to Fly Out Front

Gather Disciples: Earmark and Celebrate the First Followers

• First followers are priceless: welcome them, and study their reasons for joining you • Identify the hangers-on and -around, and cultivate friendship with them • Shamelessly recruit everybody to the dream and cause (not simply to the movement itself) • Fly out front, but never alone • Make a big deal of those who initially catch the vision and risk being associated with your movement • You can’t plow and sow in asphalt • Remember: if no one’s followin’, you ain’t leadin’!
