𝗔𝗟𝗘𝗫 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗘 Founders 𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗞𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗡 𝗥𝗔𝗧 𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗘! 🌟 Once upon a time, in the vast kingdom of LinkedIn, entrepreneurs swarmed like eager merchants in a bustling marketplace. Amidst the clamor, a weary traveler named Alex felt lost amidst the sea of sameness. Personal branding banners fluttered like flags in the wind, success stories echoed through the alleys, and the same old strategies were hawked from every corner. 🛤️ But Alex refused to blend into the throng. With a determined gleam in their eye, they sought to carve a path of their own amidst the chaos. "How do I break free from this endless cycle?" Alex pondered, gazing up at the towering spires of LinkedIn. 🌞 🚀 And so, armed with courage and creativity, Alex embarked on a quest to tell their tale—a tale that was uniquely theirs. First, they unfurled the banner of their "WHY," the driving force behind their journey. With each stroke of the pen, they painted a vivid picture of their passion and purpose. 🏞️ Next, they traversed the winding paths of their journey, laying bare the raw and unfiltered moments that had shaped them into who they were today. From the highest peaks of triumph to the deepest valleys of tribulation, Alex's story unfolded like a map of their soul. 🌟 With each tale shared, they revealed the guiding stars of their ethics, values, and skills, illuminating the path for others to follow. But it wasn't just about showcasing their victories. Alex embraced the shadows of their mistakes! Conclusion: Embrace Mistake and Grow Upward Agree with this ? Found This Intresting ?

Like, comment “Floridastrong” to get a 30 minute call with me Yep I am lead farming after being told it’s #gross Read on This AM, I noticed my teacher and friend dropped a high value lead magnet on his post. He caters to people just starting out their LinkedIn journey. It’s his business. I understand and respect what he does because I am building a business myself. I don’t have to agree with every approach, to realise how much hard work goes into each aspect. Having a lead magnet is the surest way to attract your people to you. I found AIXR through a high value lead magnet and I also found Thrive, by Eric Harrison , the founders community through the same. My friends latest lead magnet was rained on, by a bunch of self important salaried warriors, who think dissing on entrepreneurs doing whatever they can to get to where they wanna go… ….is a problem. Not understanding that they work for organisations that do the same. All the time. My friend had aggregated the best of the LinkedIn platform creators. He was dissed for content appropriation which wasn’t the case at all. After trying to change minds of these highly influential people who were advertising to their followers that this person was not good at what he did, I gave up. However, the lack of empathy for entrepreneurship, from the corporate internet is disappointing. Why look down on people running a business a certain way? You have a job, do it well and help people. . 📌Sales isn’t bad 📌Lead magnets when done well convert all the time 📌Content aggregation or content analysis isn’t the same as content appropriation 📌Corporate drones do not get to diss on Entrepreneurs. It takes a special courage to put yourself out like that, which the safe players don’t have. This is where #communities come in ….where entrepreneurship is the way of life, more #human and less #systemrelevant Humans are fragile. We will all do better to understand that... Human connection is profound. Why do we forget that. Q1. Why is entrepreneurship important? Q2. What does it take to be empathetic? Q3. Why are human connections important? Let’s go

Founders, do you know one of the first places investors go to do due diligence? or often customers before purchasing?.... The business website, shortly followed by the founders Linkedin profile. Have you put as much effort into your Linkedin as you have the website and pitch deck? Are your recent comments portraying you as a leader in your field? How long have you been active posting content? Are people engaging with that content? Consistent posts looks better than 2 weeks of posts followed by limited activity for years. You cant change the past but start now to impact the future. Does this matter? Not always, but usually it is an indicator of your public brand. In general early stage founders are the ones who make the first sales, especially for B2B, and LinkedIn is usually a great tool for achieving that. Investors want confidence in your likelihood of making sales. Who are your favorite successful founders? Have a look at their LinkedIn profiles. Thanks Steve Nisenson for encouraging me to update my linked in banner. I encourage founders to meet with Steve and/or other marketing/branding experts and get your personal brand on LinkedIn looking as good as your pitch deck What do you think of my new banner? Comment and I will have a look at your banner or if you don't have one ill help you will ideas. Since I tagged him Steve Nisenson probably will as well. (Sorry if i just gave you lots of extra homework Steve) #Founders #startup #Branding #Linkedin

6 months ago I felt completely lost on LinkedIn. I couldn't figure out how people were able to show up every single day with something new to say. Now I'm one of those who show up every weekday with something to say. Here's what I did: 1. Identified my niche. 2. Followed creators in my niche. 3. Made a list of my target audience (TA)'s common challenges. 4. Made a list of questions I had about my niche when I first started out. 5. Gathered relevant stories and social proof. 6. Figured out what impact I wanted to make. 7. Had conversations with my TA and clients to understand their challenges. My #1 problem was that I didn't understand the value I had to offer and who I could offer the most value to. Once I sorted this, the everything else was a lot easier to navigate. P.S: I'm fixing my post time to 10:00 AM (GMT) every weekday. What time do you post on LinkedIn? ________________ I ghostwrite the LinkedIn posts and profiles of Founders & C-Suites.

If you're a founder, here's what you should post Most Founders go about LinkedIn all wrong So they attract investors, other founders when they want customers. If your LinkedIn posts are all about: - personal or company awards - industry news and updates - company announcements - events attended Then your content is more fitted for investors. If your LinkedIn posts focus on content that: - raises awareness of problems - raises awareness of the solution - positions your product as the preferred choice. Then your content is more fitted for customers. While awards and events add credibility, they shouldn't dominate your posts. The next time you create content, think about who you're creating it for. P.S: What would you like to see founders post more of? _____________________ I'm helping 10 Founders and CEOs build a personal brand on LinkedIn in 2024.

Don’t let social media fool you The 8-figure deals everyday The glitz and glam of events and jet-setting The 20 year old entrepreneur traveling the world Behind every success story, there’s years of effort, grit, hard work and struggle Sometimes your journey may look a little different from what’s promoted online Sometimes you’ll face rejection and losses, sometimes you’ll have the biggest wins you can imagine, sometimes you’ll be exhausted and sometimes you’ll be shouting from the rooftop This is the duality of life. Whatever it is you want, know that your timeline is perfect as it is Stop trying to rush the process and instead focus on embracing every step of the journey After all, it’s not what you achieve but it’s who you become on the way to achieving what it is you want that truly matters #leadershipdevelopment #peopleandculture #growthanddevelopment Follow👉Prashant Srivastava and LinkedIn Top Voice community for mutual learning, growth and development.

Until 2020, I thought I had it all figured out. I was the founder of a Multi Million Dollar Company, I had an amazing team and I was full of confidence. Then my kids started asking questions. "Dad, why don't you use Instagram for marketing?"  "Have you considered Linkedin for business?"  "What if we hire an influencer to promote our products?" At first, I brushed them off. What could a bunch of teenagers teach me about business? But then I made the best decision of my career: I started listening. Today, In my 40s, I work alongside my children. They're not just family; they're my most valuable business partners. Since covid, we have grown our business so much with these small changes. At 30, I thought I was the teacher. In my 40s, I realise I'm still very much a student. In 2010, I was running a business. In 2023, thanks to my children, we're reshaping an entire industry. My advice to fellow entrepreneurs: - Listen to the young voices around you - Embrace change, even when it's uncomfortable - Never stop learning, especially from those you least expect I'm grateful for their innovative minds, their openness to possibilities, and their patience with their old man. #founder #entrepreneurship #lesson

I’d break into sweats thinking about it (Let alone doing it) When I first started posting, I felt intimidated af. Here I was: a marketer scared to market herself. From overthinking captions to feeling my ears burn as I recorded B-rolls and took selfies in public spaces… The pressure was on. But the more I posted, the more I loved it. And unsurprisingly, the better I got. From there: 1 comment turned into 40 comments. 1 like (typically mine) turned into 100+ likes. 1 lead turned into 15 clients. 1 follower turned into 12k followers. ⚡️the compound effect I started to focus less on the staring and more on the supporting. Because to me, my message and most desirable outcome was more important than *potential* mindless judgement. So if you happen to be where I was and you’re lacking the confidence to get your content out there And it’s stopping you from being consistent, lemme invite you to consider what you’ll remember most: A) The who does she think she is Or B) The thank you, I needed this today (Side note: share your answer w/ me in the comments👇🏻). Yes, creating content is scary. But do you know what’s scarier? Decreasing your luck because it makes you cringe momentarily. And then cringing with regret on your death bed. Let that sink in🤷🏻♀️ 🩷 #startups #sidehustle #smallbusiness #entrepreneurship #linkedin #careers #personalbrand #marketing #contentmarketing
