I’ve worked with 200+ founders to build demand, waiting lists, and revenue directly through LinkedIn.

Along the way, one thing became impossible to ignore:

All buyers do this one thing before they buy:

They educate themselves with content.

They want to recognize you first.

They discover you through a LinkedIn post.

Then consume your POV through longer form content.

Then decide whether you’re the person they trust.

That’s how modern B2B buying actually works.

Which is why the goal of content isn’t to become visible or “engaging.”

It’s to become obvious.

You need to position yourself as the authority people already trust before they ever speak to you.

You need to create a new ocean on LinkedIn and become undeniable to your ideal clients.

That’s why we built a positioning first approach to LinkedIn - helping founders turn LinkedIn content into sales assets.

People don’t invest in your idea because you ask or because you are so passionate about it.

They invest when they can see the growth.

They feel the energy. 

They visualize the impact. 

And they want to be part of your journey.

If you’ve been waiting for that moment.....

The big client.

The breakthrough opportunity.

The collaboration that changes everything.

Know the fact that......

Those moments don’t arrive randomly.

They arrive when you’re already becoming someone worth investing in.

I know this because I’ve lived it.

My biggest breakthroughs didn’t happen because I had that “perfect plan.”

They happened when I started doing the uncomfortable work quietly.

I said yes to things that scared me.

I learned skills that didn’t match my offer at the time, but matched the person I was growing into.

I placed myself around people operating at a level I hadn’t reached yet.

And then things changed for good.

People started reaching out without me chasing them.

Because my growth made them curious.

This is why I tell every founder I work with….

Invest in yourself first.

Before the big client.

Before the flawless strategy.

Before you feel “ready.”

Because growth attracts growth.

And opportunities rise to meet the version of you that’s prepared for them.

This is exactly what my business growth mentoring focuses on.

Not shortcuts.

Not hype.

But building a version of you that becomes impossible to overlook.

If you’re serious about growth, start here:

=> Audit your skills today

=> Pick one area to strengthen this month

=> Get into rooms that stretch you

=> Work with someone who’s already walked the path

And if you want to accelerate what’s possible in the next 90 days, let’s talk.

Growth changes who notices you.

We all are guilty of outsourcing our happiness at some point in life, without realizing it.

You outsource your happiness when you wait for validation, approval, better circumstances, or other people to change…..

I learned it the hard way that 100% of your happiness is self-owned.

It’s not your boss.

Not your clients.

Not your friends.

Not your partner.

Not the algorithm.

It’s you and only you, responsible for your happiness.

It’s about…..

Your decisions.

Your boundaries.

Your standards.

Your self-trust.

The reason this feels confronting is simple, “responsibility removes excuses”.

And once excuses are gone, growth and happiness become inevitable.

Unfortunately, taking responsibility is tough, and making excuses is easy….

That’s why most people would rather stay stuck than be honest.

Remember, happiness doesn’t increase because life gets easier.

It increases because responsibility becomes internal.

Motherhood taught me my most expensive leadership lesson.

If you jump in every time your child struggles, they never learn.

You watch them wobble.

You let them fall.

You resist the urge to fix it for them.

And it’s not carelessness…..

It is the understanding that learning requires space.

The same rule applies to building a team.

If you spoon-feed every solution to your team:

=> They don’t think

=> They don’t grow

=> And you stay stuck in operations forever

So I do the same thing at work that I do at home:

I step back.

I let my team:

=> Process client feedback themselves

=> Sit with mistakes and figure out fixes

=> Take ownership instead of seeking approval

=> Learn through experience, not instructions


I don’t disappear.

I stay available.

But I’m the last resort, not the first reaction.

And this is why I highly recommend businesses to hire mothers in leadership roles.

Mothers know how to:

=> Hold responsibility without micromanaging

=> Think three steps ahead

=> Stay calm when things go wrong

=> Keep moving even when it’s messy

Believe me, hiring a mother won’t let your business stall.

And she won’t let it fall.

Because she knows when to intervene, and when not to.

Because she builds capability, not dependency.

Because she knows control isn’t leadership. Trust is.

Who are you hiring and why? Share in the comments.

By this point in January, nearly 70% of New Year resolutions are already abandoned.

And it’s not lack of discipline.

It’s the fact that people rely heavily on motivation, and unfortunately motivation never lasts.

If your new year resolution was tied to revenue growth, especially as a coach, consultant, or service provider, let me share the uncomfortable truth with you…

“You don’t have a system that turns your skills into predictable revenue.”

This is exactly what I help my clients build.

I help you build a repeatable revenue system by:

=> Developing a signature high-ticket offer ($2k–$5k) that is clear, valuable, and easy to sell.

=> Positioning you as an authority on LinkedIn using my LinkedIn Growth Engine.

=> Building simple sales funnels that convert conversations into clients.

=> Developing proven scripts and templates so you close confidently.

=> Creating a 12-month growth plan designed to multiply your investment 3X or more.


Over 10 weeks, together we build an offer + system you can reuse again and again, 
so you stop reinventing, guessing, or relying on inconsistent referrals.

This is mentoring + implementation support.

Not a course.

Not an agency.

Not motivational coaching.

How it works:

=> 2 structured calls per month

=> Ongoing 1:1 support between calls

=> Everything adapted to your capacity, your stage, and your goals


And yes, this is not for beginners.

You should already have:

A skill people are willing to pay for.

Real experience or proof.

The willingness to execute the boring, revenue-driving work.

I’m taking 2 clients for February 2026.

DM me if you want a system that produces income, not just content or conversations.

Life is a race, not with other people.

But with the version of you that keeps carrying unnecessary weight.

Let me ask you something…

What are you still running with?

=> Old fears?

=> Other people’s opinions?

=> Past mistakes?

=> The pressure to get it “right”?

All this weight slows you down.

Every single time you try to move to the next level….

I see this constantly with founders from across all industries.

Talented, capable, and hard-working founders….

Many of them are super exhausted….not from work, but from carrying too much.

Helping them get lighter is one of the first things we address in my mentoring.

Because high performers aren’t faster because they try harder.

They’re faster because they’re lighter.

They let go quickly.

They don’t drag feedback, failure, or doubt across every decision.

They move with clarity instead of emotional load.

So we start with…

=> What to drop.

=> What to keep.

=> What no longer deserves your energy if you want to move forward.


Remember, growth doesn’t require more effort.

It requires less emotional baggage.

You don’t win a race by speeding up.

You win it by running lighter.

And the moment you do the same in your life and in business…

The results change!

Immediately.

I stopped carrying paper business cards years ago, because they’re ineffective.

Most get misplaced.

A lot end up in bins right after the person leaves the room.

Almost none lead to a meaningful follow-up.

And for founders who rely on relationships, that’s a silent leak.

I recently came across BizCard, and it turns out to be a perfect connection system for founders who believe in relationship based marketing.

What stood out immediately is that it’s not trying to replace a paper card, it’s fixing what paper cards fail at.

It works as a smart social business card.

When you meet someone, you’re not just handing over information.

You’re creating a clear next step.

They scan.

They see what you do now (not what was printed months ago).

They choose how to continue the conversation, calendar, message, or social.

And unlike paper cards, I can actually see if that interaction went anywhere.
What I personally like most:

1=> Conversations don’t disappear after the meeting

It allows you to record conversations and turn them into structured notes.

Instead of relying on memory or scattered voice notes, BizCard helps transcribe audio into clear meeting minutes and concise summaries.

That’s a big win if you attend back-to-back meetings or events and don’t want context to get lost.


2=> The card itself stays visible and current

The interactive e-ink display makes this feel very different from a typical digital card.

I like the black & white e-ink screen, it’s clean, minimal, and updates quickly, so key information stays visible and current.

It feels intentional, not flashy, and works well in professional settings.


3=> Sharing feels natural, not awkward

The NFC / Tap Card experience is seamless.

You can tap the card on a phone, use an NFC-enabled device, or even share phone-to-phone.
No fumbling, no “how do I save this?” moments, the data transfers instantly.


4=> Everything stays organised after

You can scan paper cards, scan QR codes, or import contacts, so you don’t lose people after events and actually have what you need to continue the conversation.

No reprinting.

No guessing.

No “I’ll follow up later” that never happens.

If you do meetings, events, partnerships, sales calls, or any kind of founder-led growth, this feels like a practical upgrade from paper cards.

If you try it, I’m curious, which feature stood out for you?

Do not forget to share your experience with me.
