Today’s my birthday! However… I don’t celebrate (my) birthdays. Two reasons: 1. I didn’t do anything special to be born. My parents literally did all the work. They deserve all the praise. 2. Growing older is scary. Not the way you think. Trust me. Let me explain…

You don't need 10k followers to monetize. Just: 1) Get good at something 2) Talk about that 1 thing 3) Help few people (free) 4) Gather testimonials 5) Create your offer 6) Do outreach 7) Sell out You don't need to be the expert. You just need to be one step ahead.

How to grow your personal brand (the right way) • Give value • Share your story • Be consistent long enough The goal is to build a raving fan base. And not a bunch of people who don’t care about you (or what you do)

“I spent 2 hours writing that piece.” Oh cool! But trust me… That’s not a proof of value. No one cares how many hours you spent. What matters… Is it clear and concise? Is it relevant to your reader? Does it deliver on its promise? If yes…then consider it valuable.

Stop engaging to get followers. Instead…engage to: • Have fun • Build friendships • Share your point of view • Promote yourself respectfully • Support your favorite creators If you engage just to get followers… You’d eventually quit when you don’t.

Today I’m going to embrace boredom for at least 45mins. • No tv • No gadgets • No social media Just me, my inner man and my thoughts. What are you doing today? Good morning.
