The Resident’s Footprint is our community legacy, how we leave our community.
How we nurtured, supported, understood, collaborated, respected others, and set aside any conflicts of interest is our footprint. Going through opens doors taking chances that may help to grow our legacy footprint.
When we allow FICTION, an invented story to be repeated over and over we allow fiction to become reality. Sitting around and complaining doesn’t help. Allowing others to limit and control your voice feeds the beast of misinformation. That gives up your rights, opportunities, the ability to earn a living, innovation, and control of your life. Marketing is simply repeating the same narrative enough times to embed that into your mind.
The Marketing Rule of 7, repeating something seven times makes it true for many. When we allow any false narrative to be repeated over and over without speaking up, we are the problem and have allowed that fictional story to become facts.

Allowing anyone, family, friend, group, and or business association to silence your voice, limiting in any way controlling the narratives is wrong. Allowing fiction to become facts and change the culture of our community is wrong.
Building a community means stepping outside your comfort zone, and walking through doors that may bring the resident’s voice to light, fair and balanced.
Sedona Fact or Fiction – Chamber Fiction
For as long as I have been in Sedona, the Sedona Chamber has had a stronghold on pretty much everything. It is mindblowing. It’s been the Chamber way or the highway! A front door or a back door.
Over the last decade, I’ve watched, recorded, collected documents, crunched data, spoken, and written on the Sedona Chamber, how they grew a business association into an army, a business propaganda misinformation machine, and used public money to do so.
The Sedona Chamber has made fiction facts by being the only ones at the table, the only voice, and using public money to build an army and assets. How can this happen?
My story is different from most, my family business was a chamber member, and a business association I founded was a member also. I have the intel, and documents to prove that disinformation, limited and controlled businesses’ and residents’ voices led us to where Sedona is today.
Chamber’s misinformation spread faster than a virus became facts through the repeating of false information. Today many in our community believe this rhetoric. How many times did you hear we had a business or tourism tax? How about that the bed-tax was suppose to be for chamber?
- Sedona Chamber NEVER Stopped Marketing Sedona
- Sedona Chamber Structure, Membership
- What Model Fits a Municipality DMO?
- Defining DMO & DMC meanings
For this very reason is why I will continue to walk through any doors that may help our Sedona Residents, allowing our Sedona to grow, and be nurtured, with involvement and collaboration.

The Resident’s Footprint is how we create clear, open-door discussions, accept each other’s differences, collaborate working together, utilize each different strengths, nurture, and improve.
Unlimited each other to grow, learn and build our community.
Did we welcome the community as a whole to the table?
Or were the only ones at the table the loudest, controlling the narrative and outcome?
Did we restrict another person by restricting where and how they spoke? Did we label another and not listen to their ideas or suggestions?
The Resident’s Footprint is our community legacy, how we leave our community.
How we nurtured, supported, understood, collaborated, respected others, and set aside any conflicts of interest is our footprint. Going through opens doors taking chances that may help to grow our legacy and our footprint.
~ yours, ours, and my Sedona ~
Changes and improvements we make through collaboration and networking leave a balanced footprint for generations to come.
