If you look up the word ‘scrappy’ in the dictionary, it will give you two distinct meanings. 1. To be made up of smaller parts (or scraps), 2. To be feisty.

At Scrappy Nation, we like to think that people who adopt the scrappy philosophy are a combination of these two meanings. We improve ourselves by learning and acquiring new skills and new information, but we also have a determination and fighting spirit that means that, against the odds, we’ll still find a way to figure it out.

If you are an entrepreneur or marketer and you want to see improvement in yourself and in your business, then join our community and share your hopes, dreams, fears and knowledge with others who are struggling with the exact same things that you are.

Scrappy Nation's Core Values

Scrappy Nation is made up of people from all walks of life. We welcome and embrace diversity in all of its glorious forms. Our bond is a shared desire for self-improvement and general scrappiness. Here are some of the values that make us who we are.

Scrappiness

We possess the resourcefulness and determination to figure out the solution to the problem at hand.

Curiosity

We have a strong desire to know or learn new things and leave no important question unanswered.

Empathy

We seek to understand other people in order to learn from them and help each other.

Authenticity

We are far from perfect, but we stay true to who we are and we stand up for what is right.

Creativity

We use our imaginations to bring together thoughts and ideas that have come before to create solutions to new problems.

Fearlessness

We ignore our inner critic, we try the untried and we celebrate the failures along the pathway to success.

To The Naysayers

Scrappiness is not a silver bullet solution that fixes all of the world’s problems. Nor are we saying that scrappiness should be a replacement for formal education or years of experience. The point of the scrappy movement is to empower individuals who feel overwhelmed by the chaos of a rapidly changing world.  We welcome your constructive feedback about Scrappy Nation or scrappiness, in general. We all need to evolve and improve and one of the best ways to do that is to listen to your critics as well as your supporters.
