I think we should just keep doing what we are, but do it at a sustained level for a year or two more (which isn't a long time) - plough in some cash if you can and when you can... It will all add up.

Real Leadership draws the following and that requires a bit of time to establish, but from what I can see you and others like you - @thedarkhorse, even @simplymike - I can't mention everyone, it's impossible, are doing a great job. Focus on growth of followers for the group and affiliates groups.

I do suggest that everyone finds their personal balance between giving and growth - but that comes of the risk of being perceived as a leader or not. The true leaders will benefit when the volume of followers picks up.

Everyone involved in this group (and affiliate groups) has a responsibility for it's continued and sustained growth. - and it's happening before our very eyes. just a little time and more effort.
