Imposter Syndrome? 🤥
---------------------

There’s a lot to do and many skills to be acquired, **don’t worry, we’ll teach you**. All new Managers start from zero, we learn together and support each other.

Requirements 🏋️‍♀️
-------------------

Running an existing community is easy. Starting a new community is **hard**. The best managers are proactive—they get things done as soon as the opportunity arises, not at the last minute. With that mindset, they can run events smoothly with just 15 hours per week. New communities take patience and dedication, but once they gain momentum, they become unstoppable.

🎩 Benefits
-----------

Managers work behind the scenes, often unnoticed. Most people think it’s _“easy”_ - just hand out flags, right? That massively underestimates the role. Fortunately, managers gain an amazing social life, a clear mission, boosted self-esteem, and new skills that bring out their best… plus, you get paid, of course.

### 💸 Get Paid

Depending on the city, local economy, and how dedicated you are, a mature operation with over 300 weekly participants can earn you up to $2 to $3k per month. Managers receive payment from host venues for providing ‘promotional services.’ For context: a weekly event of 200 people usually earns about 70% of a local service industry wage. To become financially independent, a manager typically runs two weekly events.

### 💫 Make Magic

When events get big, the vibe amplifies, and magic happens. It’s incredibly satisfying to watch your work bare fruit, and to be interviewed by those curious as to how you did it.
