10 business books so good you'll think they're a gold mine...

10 years ago I swept floors as a janitor.

Today I get paid to write stories on the internet.

Reality is negotiable.

Why?

Here’s the lesson:

•Every email

•And every click, is an opportunity.

A chance to reshape who you are and your future self.

Reality isn't concrete. Reality is clay. Learn to sculpt your future...

Use the power of storytelling to:

•Inspire

•Educate

•Motivate

•And entertain

So whether you're a new writer, a senior marketer, or a CEO let's write the future together.

Transforming your future isn’t just my story - it’s yours too.

Are you ready to share yours?

The powerful storytelling trick NO ONE is talking about:

Juxtaposition.

This trick will make you a master at hooking and holding attention (fast):

One year ago, I quit my +$250,000/yr job and moved to Brazil.

I went all in as a creator.

You think quitting a high-paying job for the uncertain life is crazy, right? Wrong!.

Here's everything I learned from launching a 6-figure storytelling business in one year.

1.) Beginner's hell is real.

Imagine being able to sleep well at night despite income fluctuations.

If you ignore this advice, you risk falling into financial desperation quickly:

The first 6 months drove of business drove me insane.

Income would come and go.

Nothing was solid and predictable.

But because I savings for one year of expenses...

...I could sleep well at night and make decisions for the long term.

The lesson:

Save one year of expenses before going all in.

This will help you make better decisions with being desperate for money.

2.) How to fix beginner's hell.

The truth about networking:

It's not about who you know, but who knows you.

This insight can transform your reach and open unexpected doors.

I began asking everyone I knew if they need a writer.

Or if they knew someone that needed a writer.

Odds are that one of those people needs or knows someone that needs your service.

Network like it's a full time job.

3.) Don't listen to big accounts.

Things change fast online. What worked last year won't work now.

Don't use mentors who are light years ahead.

Find a mentor who is one step ahead of you.

That's how you breakthrough obstacles.

4.) Become multifaceted.

The difference between a broke creator and a rich one?

The broke ones have one skill: Which is usually content creation.

The rich creators have multiple skills:

-Copy

-Email

-Advertising

-Sales

-Marketing

Etc.

Combine all of these skills and the world is yours

5.) The internet is A LOT bigger than social media.

People with email accounts 3.8 billion.

People on social media 3.4 billion.

Don't limit yourself to one platform.

Repurpose your content and make it work for you.

6. The smart entrepreneur beats the hard working entrepreneur.

Sad but true

The smartest get paid, and usually have the most time.

Don't chase.

You'll end up pushing a rock uphill.

Strategize to put your business in a position where you can push a rock downhill.

7. Everything takes longer than you'd expect.

Behind this successful year of business.

I've spent years failing with blogs, podcasts, and other internet platforms.

What you think will take a year will take four. So be patient.

The best things in life come with time.

8. Don't hire others to write for you.

I paid a copywriter $5,000 to write my first sales page.

The result? 1% conversion rate.

I hired a mentor to teach me how to write sales pages.

The result? 5-7% conversion rates.

I'm a little embarrassed by my early days on LinkedIn.

I blasted the same invite to all first 20-30 connections. Maybe more.

“I saw you're into copywriting so I thought to connect”

- Bland

- Overused

- Void of personality

It worked and was easier for a while

until people on linkedin became more interested in genuine conversations and relationships.

So I started taking time to go through content, subscribe to or read newsletters, download freebies, etc so I could have something peculiar and genuine to say.

Point is, we all get used to patterns and so do your audience.

It's why templates stop being effective after they work for a while.

You have to switch things up often for your marketing to work.

Otherwise, you risk…

🔻 Falling constantly behind

🔻 Struggling with your inability to consistently connect with your audience.

🔻 Feeling overwhelmed and frustrated because what used to work no longer does.

Staying ahead means having a system that is…

🔥 Flexible and adaptable to these changes.

🔥 Optimised and constantly improved based on data-driven insights.

🔥 Streamlined and tailored to fit your business needs and schedule.

Not having time to catch up is understandable but not a good enough reason to stay behind.

P.s. did you get that invite from me?🙂

Entering the new year, I committed to being consistent on Linked In. Expansion of my network, personal growth, and strategic business development were a few of my motivators. However, whenever I opened the app, I had no desire to post. I am continuously cringed by the repetitive posting formats, self-promotion, and "so-called" established experts dominating my feed. While I acknowledge the value of these approaches, I couldn't shake the feeling of homogenization, a "formula" being followed rather than genuine conversation.

I recently listened to a podcast exploring the importance of intellectual humility and curiosity. The presenter's point - "a world that celebrates knowingness over creating space for curiosity" - stuck out to me. From this podcast, I acknowledged my issue with LinkedIn; I wanted to refrain from contributing to an echo chamber of expertise; I was, and remain, on a learning journey.

So, here's my experiment: using LinkedIn differently.

I'll share my thoughts, experiences, and questions, embracing my unique voice and structure. Whether this approach fosters growth on the app is secondary.

My core aim is to inspire, making it easier for future generations who look and sound like me to engage authentically with Linked In without the pressure of performative expertise, constant sharing of achievements, and not remaining authentic to themselves.
