How to Start a Movement -
http://thefbooksite.com/2014/02/03/how-to-start-a-movement/

From this article: 

"The formula can be condensed into this:

  • You can’t be successful unless you are ON FIRE for your cause.
  • Passion drives performance. Feel your cause and let it move you to action.
  • Passion is contagious. Mentor others through your actions, words are a dime a dozen.
  • Have patience. Passion hears ‘no’ as Not Now.
  • Develop and deepen your faith. Trust that what you believe in will have followers. Somewhere. Sometime. If one person believes it, there ARE others.
  • Embrace your early followers and empower them to own the passion and the cause. Leadership means stepping aside to enable the growing fire to burn freely.
  • Celebrate small victories. New followers are like gold, treat them to a joyous celebration.
  • Think allow, not how. Once the fire burns, controlling it can consume you. Know that your passion has ignited a cause and it’s ultimate outcome is driven by your tribe of similarly passionate people.
  • Most importantly, be brave.

A world driven by passion is a world on fire for change."

Still looking for ways to grow WUaS significantly ... 

Here are a possibly very relevant set of ideas I came across today in the LinkedIn social networking site from a fundraising group mailing -

I like the video especially ... 

it's only actually 3 minutes long, and I posted this video a few years ago to my blog here, as a great (and positive) example of a meme (replicating, cultural unit, as a first definition only). ... 

Dancing is contagious and infectious :)
