The Kindness Of Strangers

At Tribetan, we recognize upfront that we can’t do it alone. The first element of the Tribetan Method focuses on the 01 Core Beliefs required for the Tribetan Method to work. Namely (1) that we are all connected in this world and (2) that other people will help you. That’s it, just those two requirements to get started.

You would think that would be good news (and it is), but immediately people begin to question, “how are we all connected,” “who will show up,” “why will they help,” and “do I have to believe in God.” The good news is that skepticism is OK. The key thing is to just for this particular experience believe that we are connected and that other people, yes even strangers, will show up to help along the way. Spiritual belief is optional.

If you look back on your own life, you will see that you have already had many instances of feeling overwhelmed and someone showing up to help out, investing time, pointing the way, or giving you just the advice you need to get the job done. When you have a moment, write down a story of when a stranger helped you when you needed it most. Then write a simple thank you to that person, and if you are able, send it to them. Approach your goals and dreams, trusting that you will not have to do it alone, believing that people will show up again. And with this faith, demonstrate your proactive gratitude by being of service today to help others achieve theirs.

As a global serial entrepreneur, Tiffany Norwood has done seven start-ups, spanning six continents and has had two IPOs. An entrepreneur before it was popular, she did her first start-up as a teenager more than thirty years ago and had a patent by the age of twenty-three. Her ventures have ranged from the first one-strap backpack, to the automation technology behind self-install kits for broadband internet, to a virtual reality gaming platform today.

In her late twenties, she raised $670 million to fund a global digital satellite radio start-up, WorldSpace, which included XMRadio for the United States. After raising the money, she became Head of International Business Development and did some of the first ever digital content licensing deals, including Bloomberg News with Michael Bloomberg and CNN International with Phil Kent.

Tiffany was also an early collaborator with the Fraunhofer Institute and their MPEG technologies, spending many nights at their labs in Erlangen, Germany in the 1990s. MPEG Layer-3 and MPEG Layer-4, are now known as MP3 and MP4 and both WorldSpace and XMRadio went public. By the time Tiffany left WorldSpace, it had launched 3 satellites covering the world, had offices in more than seven countries and nearly 400 employees.

As a social entrepreneur, she was a co-founder and corporate vice president of Ethiopia Healthcare Network (EHN), a non-profit that provides full-service healthcare to low-income women and children in Ethiopia. As of today, Ethiopia Healthcare Network has treated more than 10,000 patients at its partner clinic in Addis, and built a full service hospital in Dukem, which is operated by the local government.

Currently, Tiffany is the Founder and CEO of Tribetan. In this role, she speaks globally on the science of turning imagination into reality, leveraging the currency of faith in others and the natural connection that exists amongst the seven billion people in the world- her dream is that the entrepreneurial skill set of manifesting ideas is as well known as reading, writing and math. Some of her past venues include Cornell University, the Italian Parliament, Platform Summit, Global Entrepreneurship Week, Dev4Ethic, KPMG UK, Center of American Studies, the Creative Business Cup, the Mexican Embassy and others. Tiffany is also Co-Founder of Emortal Sports, a virtual reality e-sports gaming start-up and an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Georgetown University.

Tiffany has an MBA from Harvard and a Bachelor’s in Economics with a concentration in statistics and electrical engineering from Cornell University. She has lived, worked and visited nearly 50 countries. Tiffany believes in the power of imagination and storytelling to make ideas real. She encourages everyone to tell the story of their dreams- everywhere, anywhere and all the time.

Tribetan’s mission is to transform the world by unleashing the power of imagination within all 7 billion of us. Our goal is that the entrepreneurial skill set of turning imagination into reality is as well known as reading, writing and math. Why? Because the new way, different way and better way always starts in the imagination; and the Tribetan Method teaches everyone how to make their imagination real.

The Tribetan Method is a seven step process that teaches the entrepreneurial skillset of turning imagination into reality. It begins with core beliefs, mindset, and imagination; and ends with cultivating determination, endurance and developing an experimentation mindset. In the Tribetan universe consistent practice is more important than perfection.

The Tribetan Method is simple to learn, yet many times hard to do. But our framework is not about easy; it is about a big goal being possible and an idea being doable. A summary of the framework is as follows:

01 Core Beliefs
02 Your Dream
03 Tell Your Story
04 Attract Your Tribe
05 Collaborate
06 Maintain Faith
07 Practice Read More

“It all seems impossible, until it is done”
-Nelson Mandela

Your beliefs have creative power and are the foundation of your perception of the world around you and how it operates. The Tribetan Method relies heavily on collaboration and faith in others in order to work.

Therefore to get results, you must take on two core beliefs (1 )the belief that we are all connected in this world, and (2) the belief that others will show up to help you along the way.

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”

-Eleanor Roosevelt

The new way and better way always starts in the imagination. In the Tribetan Universe we take your imagination very seriously. Your dreams matter and are possible for you. Converting to goals and tasks come later. Why, because once you start thinking about it as a goal, you put limits on yourself.

A dream might be to build a million dollar bakery. Or to switch careers. Or to close Series A financing or a first customer. Play with the dream, sketch it, journal a description of it. Write a poem. This is just for you to connect to what the dream is and why you want it. The story you will tell to others comes later.

“Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.”

-Steve Jobs

Storytelling is a key part of making your dreams come true. Why? Because you will need others to connect with your dream in order to get help and resources. Many times all you will have in the beginning is the story.
