Meet the lovely Inyene, one of my ambassadors: "Stepping into the unknown outcome can be hard😊 I was one of you in March 2019 when Helen's ads popped up on my Facebook newsfeed. (Never heard about Helen before) I thought to myself. . . “Helen is a mother and still has the time to do this free challenge. This must be something she loves.” At that time I needed direction to move my business forward. I knew LinkedIn was the platform but I was stuck with the “how”. I joined this same challenge, followed the process, and accepted feedback from the team and I began to see what was possible. I didn’t have the money to join Helen's LinkedIn paid mastermind, but, I quickly figured out how to raise the money because of the value of this free challenge. ❇️ Why I love Helen. Helen is the first mentor who tells me exactly what to focus on instead of sugarcoating things. Helen is an authentic, straight talker with an eagerness to help you if you let her. Growing up, I was raised to be independent and strong, asking for help doesn’t come to me naturally. During one of the accountability calls, Helen said “Your mission is bigger than your ego. Do the work, just for now, not forever” I took a deep breath, swallowed my pride, raised my hand up, did the work and accepted feedback. ❇️ How has business going since then? I have a business I am proud of and I awake each day knowing exactly what to do to grow my audience and leads. I spent my time doing what I love and the mastermind gives me a great community of amazing people who are there to celebrate your win and be your cheerleader. ❇️ Have I made my money back? Yes! And more. If you are sitting on the fence about Helen's LinkedIn method, I understand that feeling. I also encourage you to take advantage of the special offers that are ending soon. Ask your questions, click the link below to book a call https://lnkd.in/e4pHDa_Q I look forward to seeing you inside the mastermind."

I used to be a political fundraiser. That meant raising tens of millions of dollars. During the election season. Pretty high stakes. But entrepreneurship? It’s an even bigger emotional rollercoaster. Which means there are a few non-negotiables. One of them is consistency. Which is why you just can’t let your feelings dictate your behavior. Here’s a recipe for disaster: → create content, but only when you feel like it. → prospect, but only when you feel like it. → respond to DMs, but only when you feel like it. → deliver high quality work, but only when you feel like it. The same applies to all the other key functions that drive the growth of your business. You’ve got to pull the right levers. Consistently. The bit that makes it all worthwhile? When you actually show up everyday. And starting pulling those levers. You’ll find that: → Your actions start to influence your feelings. → More than your feelings influence your actions. 🏝

The number one thing all the successful people that I have been around get right that others get wrong is the ability to consistently produce when they are feeling less than outstanding. The content below outlines some effectives ways to talk to yourself to stay the course when it gets tough. #mindset

Consistent effort is a non-negotiable in any successful business strategy.

I'm convinced that running a business is a character incubator. You either become a better version of yourself, or the opposite. Lucy E. and I have been diligently revamping Anashim almost every day over the past 3 months. We know that online community building is still in its infancy. Our goal is to create communities for founders who are generously invested in the flourishing of their customers. Perhaps this idea needs to be refined further. So be it. Naïve as we might be, we both believe that if founders invest in their customers, the money will follow. We see it as a principle of wise business. And it's a bit of a long-game to do business this way; meaning it takes a while for generosity to have its natural effect. But I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Generosity is not meant to be a strategy; it's a value. Perhaps it's my non-profit bias that leads me to give away a bit more than I should. But I know the money will come at the right time. Foolish? Of course. How I want to live? Absolutely 😉 Would love to hear your thoughts on this approach. What role do sacrifice and generosity play in your approach to business? 

It made my day when a longtime client said this in a meeting recently. I had just shared some stats with them about the number of people they reach on social media compared to their competitors, and they were so happy! (Hint: We were getting about 5X the reach of that competitor, which, yes, had a similar-sized following.) Our engagement was significantly higher, too. Because they have me with the skills, time and know-how to make videos and share more photos, which their competitor’s staff just doesn’t do. Want to make a great investment in your business or nonprofit? Reach more people you can help and have a bigger impact?

Interesting headline. Got me thinking about something I have always maintained - that generosity is one of the most important principles in business (as indeed in life). It is, paradoxically, a key driver of business growth. There are different kinds of generosity, different things you can be generous with: your time, your knowledge, your contacts, your attitude, your skillsets - and your products and services. It is the very antithesis of ‘old school’ thinking that a) puts profitability above all else; that b) incorrectly (unless you're Coca Cola) believes that you have secret squirrel sauce / IP that needs guarding at all times; c) treats all suppliers, subcontractors etc as commodities to be squeezed to the lowest price possible and d) believes competitors are to be mistrusted, feared and even despised. Generosity cuts through and rises above all of this. The generous organisation is born from self confidence and kindness. The generous organisation knows that profitabiity is an end result of doing the right thing - not a principle in and of itself. It knows that giving Clients more than they expect breeds strong relationships and returning custom. It knows that paying employees a fair wage and treating them well breeds loyalty and great service. It knows that supporting local communities - and supply chain partners - by investing time, money and knowledge assets, creates a virtuous cycle of growth and prosperity for all. And finally - it knows that competition is good for the sector in which it operates. That sharing knowledge, best practice, innovation - lifts all ships and makes for a healthier sector. Today's competitor is often tomorrow's strategic partner. We forget that sometimes. Generosity is not just good for the soul: it makes sound business sense.
