You set up a meeting time, ten people email back and say they’re keen, passionate and that they’ll be there.  One person shows up.

 

So what’s there to do?

 

Get on with it!  Don’t cancel the project and don’t loose faith in yourself.  Believe in the goals of the project, and keep pursuing them.  So nine people didn’t show up.  Boo hoo.  One person did.  They came for the meeting, you give them the meeting.  Meetings, paricularly the first meetings in creating an organisation, don’t have to look a certain way.  Meetings don’t have to have X number of people there talking about X or doing X.  Create what is necessary there in that meeting to move your objectives of the project, and the desired outcomes of the meeting along.

 

Sometimes even the best laid plans go awry.  Just dance in the moment and create from what you have.
