  • 💯 Be genuine
  • 🍃 Create a positive impact
  • 🕒 Be consistent
  • 📖 Tell a story
  • 🙄 and many more...

Be reachable

With the right people, culture, and values, you can accomplish great things.

And you need to be reachable if you want to meet the right people.

4

Choose your platforms

Focussed light looks brighter than dispersed light.

Wanting to be active on all social media platforms can easily overwhelm you!

5

Have your own space on the internet

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube...

Are not yours!

Your website

Is yours!

6

Plan out content

Consistency, Quality, Ambition all happen

When content is planned

Network with people

Remember this? 👇

With the right people, culture, and values, you can accomplish great things.

That enemy/competitor/unknown/you're jealous of person could be the next 💎 gem

8

Find your niche

Better to be called a specialist in one field because

Everybody wants an expert!
