Lesson 8: Write the Alliance Rules on a Piece of Cardboard 📦✍️⚡
⏱️ 12 minutes | The simplest agreement beats the fanciest contract
Lawyers?
Paperwork?
Not needed.
Not at this stage.
All powerful alliances start with one thing:
clear expectations.
And the best expectations are the ones simple enough to write on scrap cardboard.
Rules like:
• Show up on time
• No gossip
• No jealousy
• No disappearing
• No borrowing money from the group
• Gratitude check before starting
• Everyone wins or no one wins
A cardboard contract works because it’s:
✔️ visual
✔️ shared
✔️ humble
✔️ public
✔️ easy to hold each other accountable to
The point isn’t legal protection.
The point is alignment.
When everyone agrees on how to treat each other, the alliance becomes stronger than poverty, fear, or ego.
Gratitude makes the cardboard sacred — not because it’s fancy, but because it represents a future built on trust.
