Progress Thus Far

This year started off pretty rough. I had over twenty people say they were interested in this club. I was told people were excited to start volunteering and helping and being positive. I felt confident and awesome...then we had our first meeting.
Our first meeting had a total of four people. I felt like this...

I had done all the planning, knew what I wanted to do, and felt like I had landed on my face. What was I to do?

FIRST I was heavily relying on myself to get things done. I didn't want anyone else's help because I thought I was the only one who could do the job right. Other members needed to have a job as well, my trusty Vice President could have easily done those jobs. As soon as I let others have jobs, membership started to grow. 

SECOND Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither will a club's reputation. Membership will grow when the word gets out about us. Currently, we are about ten members active and three inactive. Slowly but surely, we are getting there!

THIRD Some of the people in the club had this mindset of, "We're small so we can slack off." Being a leader does not mean screaming at this people and telling them they suck. A leader states that although we are small, we will work like a larger club. I asked if they needed help or if their responsibilities needed to be someone else's. Immediately, things started getting done. No threats are ever needed when running anything. 

FOURTH Being active in something will get the club's name out there and keep your members. I have repeatedly said in this blog that blender events are needed. After our few small events, are name got out to a few people and our members were glad to do something fun. 

Starting a club can be tedious but after a while you'll be like this guy. 

Victorious.
