Linked Coach

Is your client discovery call booking calendar full? If not, please read on... 

Spoiler alert- You may learn something you never knew before.

Most people will tell you you need to run ads to a webinar, give away ebooks, set up a Facebook business page and do lots of other potentially pointless actions to fill up your booking calendar.

I can tell you that it's a load of baloney! Yes, there are lots of ways to fill your calendar, and they all require lots of work. But most of them produce little or no results.

If however, your audience is on LinkedIn (most audiences are!) then I can tell you, it's probably THE best place on the planet to find potential clients for your business.

Unlike other social media platforms, most users on LinkedIn are highly educated and highly paid. (The average salary of a user in the US is over $100K/year). 

They're also generally more serious about getting results in life and in business and not interested in videos of cute kittens or who got drunk at the weekend.

This means that if you know how to attract and interact with them your chances of creating clients are multiplied many times.

As a LinkedIn business coach at LinkedCoach 🤓 I can show you exactly how to do this and systemise it in such a way that actually creates real connection in an authentic way with your audience, resulting in more clients... lots more clients!

But even knowing all this is not enough. I've seen so many coaches, consultants and entrepreneurs fail, not because of their systems or knowledge of how LinkedIn works but because they didn't have the mindset to make it all work.

So at LinkedCoach, we don't just focus on mechanisms. We focus on people too, and helping them to get out of their own way to take the actions that produce results. We've done this for thousands of coaches and know exactly what it takes...

All good things must come to an end

Yes, we're ending our business relationship...

I've known Tina for 7 years and worked with her on and off for 5.

We have a lot in common and we've become great friends.

Now we're going in different directions. Which makes me sad.

But I'm also excited - for both of us!

Tina wants to do something that lights up her soul, and I have no doubt what she's working on is going to be incredible. (Watch that space!)

And I want to do what I do best - helping people with their LinkedIn & business growth strategy. 

So we're both doubling down on what works for each of us.

It doesn't mean I'll never work with Tina again. I'm sure I will. We'll always have a connection and I know we'll collaborate on projects in future.

But now it's time for each of us to spread our wings.

Watch this space - things are evolving and I can't wait to share what's coming up.

Here's to new beginnings.

I'm off to have a little cry now. 😢

LinkedIn is changing fast. Don't get left behind.

Here's what I'm doing about it...

People are fed up with AI generated posts, engagement pods and DM pitch slaps.

Trust is at an all time low.

Now with the new Boost feature, impressions have never been so low.
But I don't care.

Because I know the real value on LinkedIn is networking and relationship building.

So in 2026, here's what I'll be doing:

- Writing my own posts (no AI)
- Creating an email/web newsletter
- Repurposing it as a LinkedIn newsletter
- Reaching out to connect with more people
- Creating lead magnets that help solve problems
- Running live events to show people how to do all this

I'm going to run through the whole process in upcoming workshops. If you want to be notified about them, get on my email list. No spam - I promise 😉

I made a commitment to myself that I would post every day Monday to Friday...

So this is me keeping my promise to myself.

I really didn't feel like posting today, or have anything that I really wanted to say.

I get those days sometimes, but usually I have content written in advance.

Not today.

So at least you know this was written by me and not ChatGPT 😅

Do you have 'those days'?

What do you do when you have them?

Photo of Adrian Shiel with hands up in the air

Want to get 1,000+ subscribers in 7 days?

I'll give you the exact strategy to do it.

I created aa resources document for a workshop on how to use LinkedIn newsletters to combat falling impressions.

Lisa Hammett attended and took immediate action.

She got 625 subscribers in less than 24 hours and over 1,000 in 7 days.

If you could get those kind of numbers on your email list you'd probably be prepared to pay good money for it, especially as you know they're going to be engaged readers.

So why wouldn't you do that with your LinkedIn newsletter?

Just let me know down there if you want the document with ALL the resources (and more) and I'll send it across.

Are you using LinkedIn newsletters? They're easier and way more effective than you might believe... 

And I can prove it. Ask me how 😉

I forgot to give 47 people something that helped someone else get 1,000+ newsletter subscribers.

In less than 7 days

And I feel bad about it.

Last week I ran a workshop on LinkedIn newsletters. 

Tech failed spectacularly (everyone was called 'Adrian Shiel' 😅), but people still got results.

𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝗮, 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝟭,𝟬𝟬𝟬+ 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝟳 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀.

She messaged me after: "Thanks to your brilliance I now have 625 subscribers!"

(Now she's over 1,000)

From ZERO. In a week.

But here's what's bothering me...

A ton people signed up for the replay but I completely forgot to send them the resources. The templates, the silver bullet strategy, the repurposing framework - everything Lisa used.

They got the recording but not the actual tools.

𝗦𝗼 𝗜'𝗺 𝗳𝗶𝘅𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄.

If you want the exact resources that helped Lisa get 1,000+ subscribers (and that I forgot to give all those people), let me know down there 👇🏻

I'll send you:

• A custom GPT to write hooks
• Everything from the workshop
• The image sizes to use in articles
• The silver bullet invite strategy template
• The repurposing system, 4 long form + 10 posts
• My newsletter framework to bypass the algorithm
• A custom GPT to pull post ideas from articles or videos

Impressions are tanking. We all know it.

But newsletters? They go straight to inboxes. No algorithm BS.

Lisa proved it works. And honestly? If she can get 1,000 subscribers while I'm having tech meltdowns, you can too.

Just let me know and I'll send everything over.

PS - Yes, this works even if you think it's not for your industry. Lisa writes about mental fitness and burnout in healthcare. But she makes it valuable. And that's why she got 1,000+ subscribers in 7 days. 🤓

I know why your followers don't convert into leads.

And I know how to fix it.

LinkedIn is different from all other social media platforms in may ways...

• It's for networking
• It's great for business
• It can help you find a job
• It's the 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 platform
• Its users are the highest earners

All these things are true, but there's something else very different about LinkedIn that you need to understand if you want to use it to help grow your business.

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘃𝘀. 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘀

It's great to have thousands of followers on LinkedIn.

And you should always aim to have as many as possible.

But connections are equally, if not more important.

That's because of the way the algorithm works.

Whenever you post something the algorithm runs a test with your 1st degree connections before anyone else.

So you have to be sure that not only does your content land with them, but they are also the right kind of person, i.e. your ICP.

If you don't have a high percentage of your ideal clients in your network, you may grow your following with random people, signalling to LinkedIn that they should show your content to more random people, instead of your potential clients.

And here's the most important part: 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝟭𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆. 

But 𝗡𝗢𝗧 your followers (unless they have open profile...)

You might think "so what?" 

Well, I'll tell you what... 🤓

Business is about relationships, not followers.

You can garner attention and communicate '1-to-many' through content.

And that goes some way to building a relationship.

But if you sell a high-ticket offer, you need to have 1-to-1 conversations.

So when your followers send you signals like:

• Subscribing to your LI newsletter
• Opting in to your lead magnets
• Commenting on your posts
• Engaging with your posts
• Inviting you to connect
• Viewing your profile
• Or following you

This is the exact moment 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 to start a real, human 1-to-1 conversation. 

It takes effort, but it's the fastest way to grow your business.

Agree or disagree?

PS - I ran a workshop last week to teach people exactly how and why LinkedIn newsletters are a great idea - especially in the current climate of all time low impressions. You can watch eh replay here: https://lnkd.in/df2x4bG6

Adrian Shiel in a library, reading a paper with the headline 'Eureka!' and a lightbulb over his head.

My first time speaking in public was a disaster.

I didn't just bomb. I crashed and burned.

I was asked to present in front of about 200 engineers and technicians at the company I worked for. 

The subject I was given didn't feel comfortable from the beginning, but still, I agreed to it, created my little slide deck and off I went.

The brief I was given by the organiser was "just have a discussion - get people talking and debating".

I had no idea whatsoever how to do that and I was nervous as hell.

On the morning of the event, I got into a conversation with one of the other presenters and I shared what I was going to cover.

He asked me to show him my slides, so I did, of course. Why wouldn't I?

He said they were great and it made him remember something he'd missed in his own presentation. That actually helped calm my nerves a little...

He was speaking right before me and to my horror, when he got up to present, I saw that he'd taken the main theme of my presentation and made it the main theme of his.

I can't really remember much about my presentation, except for that awful feeling of complete shame and embarrassment. 

I didn't present in public again for many years. But of course, if you want to progress in a company or in business, public speaking is something you need to master.

So I slowly got back on that horse and kept trying...

I don't think I'll ever feel like I've mastered it. But I don't get hung up on that either.

Last week I ran a workshop. 

I was expecting 20-30 people but over 100 showed up and they were all called Adrian Shiel.

That's not some kind of pun. The were actually named 'Adrian Shiel' in Zoom!

For a few milliseconds, that horrible feeling came over me that reminded me about that incident years earlier. 

But I caught it. I took it in my stride and laughed about it. Everything was fine.

Does this mean I've mastered public speaking?

Probably not, and probably never will. 

But I no longer get stressed out when things don't go to plan. 

So I guess I've mastered something within myself. I'll take that.

Got any public speaking horror stories of your own? I'd love to hear them, just to know I'm not alone 🤣

Me with a fake surprised look on my face speaking in public with the audience's faces also looking surprised.

People are freaking out about the boost feature. 

But I’m laughing about it. Why? 

Because I know the real money on LI is in the DMs.

So I'm not that bothered by declining impressions.

People come here and post AI generated 'meh' posts and think that's going to get them clients.

But what gets overlooked is that it doesn't matter how good your content is (well, I guess good content helps 🤓).

If you don't know how to network and build relationships, it's always going to be a struggle.

Because it comes down to this:

People do business with people they trust.

So if you just focus on building trust, it will help your business grow.

And in my opinion there's no better place to do that than LinkedIn.

Agree or disagree?

AI can draft posts.

It can't build trust.

You can.

For a long time, I believed serious business builders should stay away from social media.

I genuinely believed that you shouldn’t “waste time” online.

I thought visibility wasn’t worth the effort.
I avoided it. Delayed it. Doubted it.

But the rising noise around personal branding kept pushing me to at least TRY.

So I took a chance.
Uncomfortably.
Imperfectly.

But with hesitation.
And this week…

I crossed 10,000 followers. 🎉

One fact that changed my perspective:
A global LinkedIn study shows that leaders who actively show up online are trusted over 3x more than those who don’t.

People don’t just follow content; they follow consistency.

So I’ll end with just one thing:
SHOW UP.

Not because it’s trending.
But because your presence is proof that you exist.

Your voice matters, and your journey can help someone else. ✨

You’re drowning in repetitive tasks.
And those tasks hold you to grow

Most entrepreneurs waste precious time.
On admin, not scaling.

When I'm coaching founders, automation is my first fix.
Automate to reclaim your time.

Daily automations include-

▪️Client follow-up nudges
▪️Proposal sending and signing
▪️Scheduling and calendar sync
▪️Feedback and testimonials ask
▪️Invoice and payment reminders

Imagine gaining hours every week to grow your business.
One founder saved 10+ hours with simple tech tools.

Want my favourite apps? 
DM me the automation toolkit.

This isn’t an overload.
It’s smart scaling.

Automation = freedom + growth.

I’m obsessed with automation because it’s leverage that NEVER sleeps.

Naval Ravikant once said there are 4 forms of leverage:

1- Capital: money works while you rest.
2- Collaboration: people amplify what you build.
3- Content: where consumption becomes conversion.
4- Code (Automation): systems scale what you repeat.

Master these 4, and you’ll never trade time for growth again.

𝗣.𝗦. Less busywork, more business. PERIOD.

You’re not bad with money.

But your habits might be.

When I consult with founders to grow their revenue, I tell-

START with a PROFIT audit. 

Because 70% of small businesses have hidden leaks
they DON’T even know EXIST.

Most entrepreneurs think they know their numbers.

But few really do.

The difference between just “GETTING BY” and scaling fast often hides in what you’re missing.

Imagine finding $5,000, $10,000  or more hidden inside your current revenue streams.

Look, you can’t forget
Profit is a mindset
Not a number
Deal?

Ignoring your margins is the fastest way to burn your business down.

A small leak today,
Sink your ship tomorrow.
But, hey… I can help you solve it.

“Your 7-Day Newsletter Helped me increase revenue.” That’s what a founder said. 

DM me; I’ll share the access with you. 

If you want to make $10M in PROFIT, start by creating $10M worth of VALUE for your clients and your team.

Numbers can be intimidating.

But avoiding them costs you your freedom.

Uncomfortable, but only facing your financial blind spots can save your business.

𝗣.𝗦. Same team, same setup- More Money? I’ll go first YES.

Discipline looks boring until you see what it builds.

(And by then, everyone calls it luck.)

Nobody claps for you at 5 AM.

Nobody cheers when you say “no” to a weekend plan. Nobody notices the small sacrifices you make every single day.

But one day, they’ll call you “consistent.”
They’ll call you “lucky.” They’ll ask, “How do you stay so motivated?”

Truth is... You weren’t motivated, you were just committed.

As an entrepreneur, I’ve learned this the hard way:
Success rarely comes from what we do once in a while.

It comes from what we do, especially on the days we don’t feel like doing it.

The results you want are already on your calendar, just disguised as daily habits.

𝗣.𝗦. Do you think discipline matters more than motivation? I'll go first, YES, I think.

What are you willing to GIVEUP to go up (for a short time)?

I’ll share a quick story with you…

I was always intrigued by what it would be like to take a "left turn" and sleep flat in a plane. 

Who do I need to BECOME?

What new skills did I have to learn to be this person who travels business class?

Yeah. There were so many excuses. 

LIKE-

Who pays 4 times to travel in the same plane?!✈ 

It's stupid, crazy and totally a "show off"

Maybe they have millions of points…

THEN

I made a decision. Why not take it as a challenge?

And here it is:
I made a commitment in 2021 that I won't watch any movies or entertainment in Economy until I sit in Business class. 

Well, here's what I did instead:

1. Focused on reading books to hone my HIGH INCOME SKILLS

2. Journaled on what's working, what I need to improve. Created a game plan to blow up the business 

3. Listened to seminars on Marketing, leadership and made tons & tons of notes

And then, after close to 2 years, I finally got a chance to travel in Business class in 2023!

I share this not to impress you, but to impress upon you to challenge your mindset.

When you sacrifice a few things and really start thinking BIG amazing things will manifest in your life.

What is that 1 thing you are willing to sacrifice in the short term to go up in the long term?

Leads aren’t converting.
It wouldn't until you have this.

Many entrepreneurs chase leads
and lose potential clients in follow-up.

When I consult founders,
I start by mapping their client journey.

Because a clear pipeline turns interest into sales.
Every pipeline must have-

▪️Meaningful outreach sequences
▪️Personal follow-ups timed right
▪️Steps qualifying who’s serious
▪️Capture systems that work
▪️Reliable CRM tracking

Imagine a pipeline guiding leads
straight to “Yes.”

No more cold chasing.

One founder tripled conversions after building this system.

Want my checklist and CRM template?
DM me for the toolkit.

Facts inform. Stories sell. 
Your prospects want proof that feels real.

Your customers are your strongest ambassadors.
And a video testimonial? That’s your most powerful sales weapon.

This isn’t accidental.
It’s client acquisition mastery.

Know your process, grow your business.

Is your client pipeline working?

𝗣.𝗦. Without a pipeline, leads are lost. Isn't it real?

They didn’t reply.
They didn’t show up.
They didn’t choose to act.
And that was the ANSWER.

Sometimes people think ignoring, delaying, or disappearing keeps things “NEUTRAL.”
But it doesn’t.

Silence is communication.
And inaction is a decision.

When someone doesn’t respond, they’re actually saying something louder than words ever could.

It might mean, “I don’t care enough.”
Or “I’ve already moved on.”

Or sometimes even,
“I don’t know how to handle this.”

Whatever it means-
It always means something.

In work
In leadership
In relationships

You’ll save yourself a lot of confusion when you start reading silence as feedback.
Because truth doesn’t only come in messages and meetings, it shows up in patterns, presence, and priorities.

As an entrepreneur, I’ve learned to stop overanalysing mixed signals. Clarity doesn’t always arrive in words sometimes; it arrives in absence.

No action is an action.
No message is a message.
You just have to be brave enough to read it.

𝗣𝗦: Does silence bring clarity, or just more questions?

"WE" is powerful than "I"

"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." -Helen Keller.

There was once a father who had three sons, constantly fighting, competing, and trying to prove who was better.

Tired of their quarrels...
One day, the father asked them to bring a few sticks.

When they returned, he gave each son a stick and said, “Break it.”
They did- EASILY.

Then he tied all the sticks together in a bundle and said, “Now try again.”

This time, they tried with all their strength… but the bundle didn’t break.

The father smiled and said,
“When you stand alone, you can break easily. But when you stand together- nothing can break you.”

That’s the thing about TEAMWORK.
It’s not just about getting work done faster.

It’s about building STRENGTH you can’t develop alone.

When people work with each other
Not against each other

Egos shrink.
Productivity rises.

And resilience becomes your biggest competitive advantage.

As a leader, I’ve seen both sides:
Teams that compete internally and teams that move as one unit.

The difference in their results?
Night and day.

The best teams aren’t built on talent alone.
They’re built on trust; one small act of unity at a time.

𝗣.𝗦.That's the first glimpse of my TEDx talk.

The biggest gap isn’t in product, pricing, or persuasion.

It’s due to the lack of a clear communication system. 

Most replies sound reactive instead of intentional. When someone messages you with a problem, they want to feel understood before they feel sold. 

If your first reply doesn’t anchor their emotions, clarify their situation, and guide them toward the next step, they naturally drift. Buyers follow the person who gives them the most clarity in the shortest amount of time.

What truly decides whether a conversation converts or collapses is your ability to carry the prospect through a structured journey.

Most people think they lose clients because: The client wasn’t serious. Budget didn’t match. They ghosted me. Market is slow. But the truth is far sim

The Real Reason You Lose Clients After the First Message

Your content is attracting attention.

(But it could attract REVENUE.)

Most entrepreneurs post without a plan.
Random posts yield random results.

When I help founders build authority,
I start with a strategic content blueprint.

Because consistent, expert-led content
pulls ideal clients in like a magnet.

What really works every day-

▪️Crafting stories that connect
▪️Leading readers to take action
▪️Sharing value, not sales pitches
▪️Planning content months ahead
▪️Using prompts that spark interaction

Imagine waking up to comments,
messages, and leads from your posts.

No more guessing “what next.”

A founder doubled inbound leads
with just one 90-day content calendar.

Want to grow your authority?
DM me to grab our blueprint.

This isn’t luck or luck posts.

It’s strategic authority-building.
(Your voice is your business power.)

Until you become obsessed with marketing
Your business will keep struggling in silence.

Are you consistent with your content?

𝗣.𝗦. Expert content attracts clients. Agree?

I wasn't an A student.
Actually, I was more of a C student.

Bottom of the class. Teachers weren't fans.
Low grades in university. Struggled to get good jobs.

And for the longest time, I believed that's all I'd ever be.

Low self-esteem. Low self-confidence.

The story I kept telling myself:
"You won't amount to much."

That belief followed me everywhere.

Until I realized something that changed the game completely:
𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘂𝗽 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘁.

Your grades don't define your growth.

Your old failures don't predict your future results.

The version of you that struggled?
That's just one chapter- not the whole book.

The moment I stopped dragging my past into every new opportunity, everything shifted.

From being at the bottom of my class to building what I have today, none of that happened because my past changed. 

It happened because I stopped letting it run my decisions.​

If you're stuck replaying old losses, bad starts, or limiting beliefs, this is your reminder:

Your past earned you lessons.
Not a life sentence.

♻️ Repost if this landed.

The talent you hire shapes the business you build.

But most people look at the cost, not the capability.

For years, companies chased “cheap help.”

Lower rates, lower expectations, lower outcomes.

But the modern advantage isn’t in paying less it’s in accessing better.

Because one high-calibre performer will outperform ten average ones.

Not because of hours…
but because of experience, judgment, and ownership.

And this is the shift smart businesses are making today:

They’re no longer buying labour.

They’re investing in talent that changes the trajectory of the business.

When you bring in people who’ve operated at scale,
the entire system gets upgraded 
your standards, your processes, your thinking.

It’s never about the $5, $15, or $20 an hour.

It’s about the person behind that hour.

The right talent doesn’t cost you.

The right talent grows you.

Google as your main search tool will be killed by ChatGPT. 

Not today. Not tomorrow. 

But the shift is already happening, and faster than most people realise.

Here's the current reality: As of Q2 2025, Google still dominates with 81.6% of all digital queries globally.​

ChatGPT? Just 9% of global search volume.​
Sounds like Google is safe, right?
Not quite.

Here's what the data doesn't show:
ChatGPT went from zero to 800 million weekly active users in less than 3 years.​

Google's search market share dropped below 90% for the first time in a decade in 2025.​

And OpenAI just launched Atlas.
Its own AI-powered web browser, putting it in direct competition with Google Chrome.​

Why this matters:
The way we search is fundamentally changing.

Google gives you 10 blue links and makes you click through multiple pages. ChatGPT gives you one direct answer in seconds.

Google optimizes for ad revenue (you clicking multiple links).
ChatGPT optimizes for user intent (getting you the answer faster).

Here's the shift happening right now:
People aren't abandoning Google entirely; they're using both.​

But ChatGPT sessions are 14 minutes long on average, compared to Google's 5 minutes.​

That means people are spending more time engaging with AI search than traditional search, even though Google still handles more queries.

What analysts are saying:
💡By 2030, AI-powered search tools like ChatGPT could surpass Google in global search share.​

💡OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman called the Atlas browser launch a "rare, once-a-decade chance to reconsider what a browser can be."​

💡And with ChatGPT now handling 15-20% of Google's daily search volume, it's already a bigger threat than Bing ever was.​

Here's my take:
Google won't disappear overnight. But it will become a fallback tool, not the default. The future of search isn't about who has the most links.
It's about who understands intent faster, answers better, and saves time.

𝗣.𝗦. If you're still optimizing your content strategy around Google SEO alone, you're missing the bigger shift. The game is changing, and AI-native search is the new battlefield.

What's your take? Will you still be using Google as your primary search tool in 2030? Drop your thoughts below.

There are 2 types of sales: one makes you rich, the other keeps you broke.

I made $1M+ with one. But before that? 
I was stuck in the other, working twice as hard and earning half as much.

The difference is- 
Influential selling vs. Transactional selling.

Two weeks ago, I wrote a newsletter breaking down this exact framework. The response was overwhelming. Some of you reached out saying, "This finally makes sense." (Glad you liked; thank you!)

So today, I want to share how you can shift into influential selling and stop competing on price. First, let's be clear on the difference:

Transactional Selling (What Keeps You Broke):
→ You chase every lead like it's your last meal
→ You compete on price, not value
→ You close deals by offering discounts
→ Clients see you as a vendor, not a partner
→ Every sale feels like starting from zero

I spent years in this trap. Cold calling. Following up endlessly. Offering "special deals" just to close. The problem? You're replaceable.

Influential Selling (What Makes You Rich):
→ You attract clients who already trust you
→ You educate, don't persuade
→ Price becomes secondary to transformation
→ Clients see you as an authority, not an option
→ Referrals and repeat business become your engine

I shifted to this model in 2019. And everything changed.
Here's how to make the shift (advanced strategies):

1. Build your "pre-sale" asset library
Create content that educates your ideal client on their problem—before they even talk to you. 

📌Like- case studies, frameworks, breakdown posts. 

2. Position yourself as the category expert, not a service provider
Stop saying "I help businesses with X." Start saying "I've solved [specific problem] for [specific type of client] and generated [specific outcome]." 

📌Specificity = authority.

3. Use the "invite, don't pitch" approach
Instead of asking "Can we schedule a call?", say "I'm opening up 3 consulting spots next month. If you'd like to explore working together, let me know." 

📌Scarcity + confidence = demand.

4. Create a signature methodology
Give your process a name. Package it. Share it publicly. When people see you have a repeatable system (not just "figuring it out").

📌You become the obvious choice.

5. Leverage social proof relentlessly
Every win, testimonial, and case study should be visible. Not bragging proof. 

📌Influential sellers let their results do the talking.

What happened when I applied this:
My average deal size tripled.
My sales cycles have shortened by 40%. 
My close rate went from 15% to 60%+.

And I stopped needing to "sell" clients who came to me pre-convinced.

𝗣.𝗦. If you missed the newsletter two weeks ago and want the full breakdown of the influential selling framework (including exact scripts and templates), drop NEWSLETTER below and I'll send it over.

Which type of selling are you doing right now?

You’re selling to everyone.

(It’s eating your TIME + ENERGY.)

Most people chase 
“anyone who can pay” 

Then they wonder…
Why business feels heavy.

I advise founders on growth, 

I start with one question:

“Who’s your DREAM CLIENT?”

Because without clarity
you market to EVERYONE  
and connecting with NO ONE.

Dream clients (I love to call “BEST BUYERS”) aren’t just the ones who pay you the most; they’re the ones who pay often and stay the longest.

Most believe:
More leads = more sales.

But here’s the truth:

1. Quality beats quantity 
2. Right clients pay premium
3. Wrong clients waste your time.
4. A clear ICP sharpens your message.

Imagine focusing only on clients who truly want YOU.

No chasing.
No convincing.
Just ALIGNMENT.

Stop chasing tire-kickers.

Start serving clients who value your work.

“One worksheet cut my prospecting time in half,” a founder said. Want this worksheet?  

DM me for access to the 7-Day Blueprint newsletter.

This isn’t fluff.  
It’s the foundation of growth.

(You can’t grow what you can’t define.)

Do you believe a defined ideal client makes growth easier?  

𝗣.𝗦. Knowing who you serve changes everything. Agree or not?

You’re trading hours for money.
(It’s killing your growth.)

Most entrepreneurs believe:  
More client hours = more money.

But it’s not about chasing leads 

It’s about structuring 
your offers and impact
so clients can come to YOU.

So, sell transformation, not time.

Here’s what I see working every day in service industry-

Build loyalty.
Ditch hourly trap.
High tickets grow revenue.

Imagine your clients paying premium prices because your offers solve real problems.

No endless pitching required.

When I coach founders on scaling, I tell them: 

Please don’t sell time
Start selling impact.

That mindset shift doubled one founder’s income in 6 months.

Here’s a simple tip you can apply today:  

Bundle your services into tiers:
basic, premium, elite.  

Give clients clear, better value choices they want to buy.

Want the full “Offer Engineering” framework?  DM me for the template.

The real game isn’t just solving problems fast
It’s solving them for the RIGHT PEOPLE

Don’t fall in love with your product or service. Fall in love with your ideal client and the results you create for them.

This isn’t guesswork.  
It’s systematized growth.

(Value grows when time stops trading.)

𝗣.𝗦. You’re paid for skill, not time. Isn’t it?

YOU are spending weeks creating one ad.

(While your competitor tests 20+ variations)

As someone who's scaled multiple campaigns, the bottleneck was never strategy- it was execution SPEED.​

Most marketers know what to test. 
Different hooks, avatars, scripts, angles. 

But coordinating with creators, shipping products, waiting for footage, and managing revisions turns every test into a 2-week project.​

You're stuck choosing between speed and quality. 

Launch fast with mediocre ads, or wait weeks for polished content that might flop anyway.​

I discovered "Arcads(dot)ai" while looking for ways to test ad variations without the nightmare of coordinating with the creator.​

It's an AI platform built specifically for generating UGC-style video ads. 

You write your script (or let AI generate it), choose from 300+ hyper-realistic avatars, and get your video in 10 minutes.​

No product shipping. 
No creator ghosting. 
No waiting.​

The avatars aren't robotic.

They're trained on real human footage with natural expressions and gestures.​

2 things i love about this tool are-

1- Test 10 different hooks in one afternoon instead of one month.  
2- A/B test at scale without logistics bottlenecks.​

𝗣.𝗦. Speed gives you optimisation power. Isn't it?

12 “rules” that almost tanked my sales

and the replacements that built pipeline, trust, and real revenue. 

The breakthroughs came when I stopped selling like everyone else and started thinking like the buyer. 

1- Flaws don’t cost you; hiding them does.
2- Constant outreach burns out sales.
3- Winning every deal can lose you.
4- Value grows; mindset must too.
5- Crowds don’t win; opposites do.
6- Follow-up kills slow, saves fast.
7- Rush closes lose customers.
8- Titles don’t sell; scars do.
9- Pitch less. Qualify more.
10- Saying yes kills profits.
11- Closing hard kills trust.
12- Say no, then say yes.

Sales is full of “rules” that sound good when you’re broke and guarantee you’ll stay there. Here are the worst offenders I heard, repeated, and eventu

12 Beliefs That Kill Sales. And What I Do Instead

Starting something the right way isn’t about following a trend or copying what everyone else is doing.

I used to think success in coaching or business meant hours of grind, endless hustle, and doing what everyone else was doing.

But the truth? 

Most people who “made it” pivoted, experimented, and embraced uncomfortable decisions that others avoided.

It’s scary to start differently. To question the norms. To risk failing when everyone else seems to have it figured out.

But real growth? It comes from doing the hard, scary, and unconventional things.

Not because it’s easy.
But because it’s right for your path.
Courage over comfort. Always.

You feel stuck in the grind.

Working hard is important, but working smart is essential.

Most entrepreneurs hustle harder, not smarter.
When I help founders scale, we build a CEO growth map.

Focused goals turn overwhelm
into clear, motivated action.

Your CEO plan MUST include-

▪️Growth milestones
▪️High-impact priorities
▪️Delegation strategies
▪️Freedom checkpoints
▪️Measurable quarterly goals

Imagine leading your business
without burnout.

One founder tripled revenue
using this simple plan.

Every great company runs on RHYTHM and  RITUALS 
Even when the founder isn’t in the room.

✅ Each department should have a visible dashboard tracking what truly matters.

✅ You should have a master-board showing the pulse of your entire business, including finances.

✅ And most importantly, build a culture and leadership team that’s incentivized by results, not just roles.

That’s how you create a business that runs without you but never without direction.
Want the one-page CEO blueprint?

DM me the growth map.
This isn’t wishful thinking.
It’s intentional freedom.
Your business, your rules.

𝗣.𝗦. Freedom comes with focus. What do you think?
