Who are your real friends? Make a big positive change in your life: - Get in shape - Start a business - Grow an online audience - Stop partying every weekend Doesn’t matter what it is. When *You* do something for you... Some people will hate it. 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗶𝗻. This confused me at first. “My growth has nothing to do with you.” But it does. It brings out people’s insecurities. Instead of working on themselves, they throw hate from the sidelines. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴. Your growth reveals your true friends. Have you figured this out yet? -- P.S. I want to see you win. That's why I write free actionable guides like this one: https://lnkd.in/eQPfyVCG

Here's the career hack I absorbed from working with 20+ millionaire clients in 2024: Learning doesn't end with school. If you are willing to: • Stay curious • Seek advice and feedback • Humble yourself and constantly fail Then it's hard to lose in life. When I meet the CEO of a $50M company, I can't help but think "What can they learn from ME?" I'm usually a decade or two younger. I'm running a business in its 2nd year. I'm writing LinkedIn posts for a living. But the weird thing I've found...the bigger the CEO, the better the questions and the hungrier they are to learn. • How do we connect with HNW investors? • How do we elevate our online brand? • How do we raise more capital? • How do we leverage AI? The best CEOs have one mode: "How can I get better? Lesson learned: If you want to be in the top 1% in your field, be 99% hungrier to learn and keep growing. What are working on leveling up in 2025?

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝟵𝟬 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀: Delete the B.S. holding you back... Sometimes removing one ___ is more powerful than adding 100 new things. - Bad habits - Limiting beliefs - Pessimistic "friends" - Toxic work environment It's easy to add more goals, habits, and STUFF to your plate. It's also easy to quit when it gets hard. If that hasn't worked for you in the past... Try something different going forward. Subtract the negative from your life to make room for the positive to come into it. Easier said than done. 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙪𝙗𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟓 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙖 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙣𝙚𝙭𝙩 𝟵𝟬 𝙙𝙖𝙮𝙨?

Here's how to avoid getting left behind in the creator economy... Instead of focusing on: • Climbing the ladder • Creating the perfect resume • Asking for permission to grow Start putting your future career success into your current daily work schedule. Learn how to create content. Learn how to create simple offers. Learn how to monetize an audience. Learn how to build a profitable brand. In 2022 I was sick of letting my financial and career success rest on unknowns. So I decided to take action. - Start posting without permission. - Build a side hustle without permission - Create opportunities without permission I've met 20 year olds earning $20,000/mo because they started posting content. I've met 50 year olds who redesigned their career without a W2 job. And everyone in between. Start investing in these skills: • Copywriting • Audience growth • Digital sales and offers You won't be sorry. 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙪𝙣𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙨 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙙 𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙗𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙙?

The most addicting feeling in your career is not having to ask permission to: • Make more money • Take the afternoon off • Work from a coffee shop • Ignore email for the weekend Before I knew what an entrepreneur really did all day...I knew I wanted to be one. Not to make a million dollars. Though the financial upside can be a lot more than W2 (but so is the risk of failure). I just knew I wanted to be self-sufficient. ✓ Not reliant on a salary ✓ Not limited to 2% inflation raises ✓ Not boxed into 9-5, Mon-Fri schedule ✓ Not waiting until 69.5 to "retire" & be free My 9-5 taught me skills and helped me build relationships. But building a small internet business... Taught me how to design a career that fits the life I want to live.

I studied finance for 4 years and learned more about investing from YouTube. I convinced myself I couldn't sell as an introvert until I invested in sales coaching. I had no idea how to build a 6-figure creator business until I paid someone to show me. I learned more about wealthy tax strategies from my millionaire clients than my CFP*. (*I used to be certified financial planner) What's the point? School can only take you so far in life. 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻: • Your willingness to learn • Your willingness to hire mentors • Your willingness to invest in yourself Self Education = Freedom 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙮, 𝙗𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛-𝙚𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣? -- Hit repost if you agree ♻️ Follow me to level up your career skills.

I use SIX systems that help me write 5-7 LinkedIn posts in 90 minutes (steal 'em): Here are my favorite writing systems: 1️⃣ 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 Use 90-minute deep work sessions to write without distractions. 2️⃣ 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗲 Separate the tasks of coming up with ideas, writing them down, and editing. I write in a journal first, then edit everything in Taplio. 3️⃣ 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝘀𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 I like the "bookends" of the day when there are no interruptions. Early morning or late evening. 4️⃣ 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘁-𝗚𝗣𝗧 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘀 One of my favorites: Audience: [insert target audience] Give me a list of the biggest pain points for the audience 5️⃣ 𝗗𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 It slows you down. If you feel a post is 80% of your highest quality effort, hit publish. 6️⃣ 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 Package these up and create a system for yourself to 10X your writing. What systems do you use that I missed above? Share 👇 with me and others.

Here's the ONE reason I failed at building a full-time Solopreneur income in 2019: I was constantly burning out. I wasn't creatively fulfilled in my work. I was looking for more flexibility, fewer calls. So I tried Solopreneurship and epically failed, crawling back to a W2 after a year. I analyzed where I went wrong.. - No sales skills - No understanding of funnels - No trust from an audience on social - No offer that people would actually buy Without these skills, I made NO money. 𝙃𝙢𝙢𝙢...𝙨𝙤 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙙𝙤 𝙄 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙮 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚? This time I tried something different. Instead of doing everything myself and taking years to learn these skills... 𝗜 𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗺𝗲. Wish I did that earlier. Here's what happened after I hired a coach and tried entrepreneurship again in 2022. - More money - More freedom - More goal clarity - More results faster Duh. Now coaches and mentors are my favorite self investment. 𝙃𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙮𝙚𝙩? -- P.S. If you're looking for help you growing & monetizing your brand on LinkedIn...

Here's what I learned advising 25-year-olds with $1M in net worth on LinkedIn: They didn't stop learning when class ended. That was just the beginning for them. Almost all of them: • Earned good active income (sales) • Understood assets > liabilities • Paid for pro financial advice • Never stopped learning Even if they didn't know exactly how to build a plan or hire a financial professional... They knew it was important. This post is about the highest-earning skill I've learned in the past 10 years: • Humble yourself • Don't believe you know it all • Find mentors a few steps head • Pay them what they are worth The new rich millennials earning and investing are amazing at building a team. You could do it all yourself... Or save money, time, and mistakes by hiring and paying for the right person. There's no better lesson in your career.

Here are 3 "secret" ingredients for turning your LinkedIn into a 6-figure income: 𝟭. 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 Emphasis on "trusted" How do you build trust? You show up daily: • Useful LinkedIn content • Genuine comments and DMs • Learning about your readers This can take 6-12 months. Don't ditch your paycheck without it. 𝟮. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 To make $$ online, you need authority. How do you show people you're legit? • Show results in your profile • Create a client case study • Post about client results Show the results your prospects want to get when they buy from you. 𝟯. 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗣𝗶𝘃𝗼𝘁 Did you create a 10-page business plan? It will probably be trash in a week. ✅ Things change fast ✅ Learn from wins and losses ✅ Iterate and figure it out along the way Be willing to adjust.

If you want to stay stuck in a career that makes you unhappy...say these 3 words: "It's too late" Also acceptable: • It's not worth it • It will never work • It's too saturated Should I start a blog, podcast, side hustle, business, career pivot, fill in the _____? I say Yes. It's never too late. But won't AI destroy the old way and create a new way where no human can compete? Probably not. As long you have: • Real life experiences to share • Human emotion to express • Untapped potential in life Then you still have a reason to keep evolving and try new things. It's never too late.

Your digital brand is the ultimate wealth-creation tool (if you know how to use it). It's an asset that can make money while you sleep. But just like: • a cash-flow business • a real estate investment • a diversified stock portfolio You have to build it before it bears fruit. It won't happen overnight. Here's how to start from ZERO and start making money within 3-6 months: 1. Treat your brand like a business 2. Start small, scale up over time 3. Learn from the top 1% creators 4. Make it a repeatable system 5. Start with simple offers Warning: there's a learning curve. 90% of creators who start today won't be around in 6 months. Be patient. Be willing to learn. Be willing to look stupid. This is the formula for turning your brand into a 5, 6, or 7-figure income stream. 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 + 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 + 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 = 𝗪𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 Play the long game. That's the only path to success. What's your best advice for creators who want to make money from their brand? Share your best advice ↓

If you want to build a business, don't aim to be the next Zuckernerd billionaire CEO... I used to respect the founders building $1B tech unicorns with complex businesses. I still do, but here's who I respect more. The founders building unsexy, profitable, cash-flowing internet business. • Hubspot setup • Zapier automation • Email marketing experts • Fractional CMO services • Commission-based sellers • Niche podcast booking agency • Book ghostwriting for niche experts • Substack newsletter writers & coaches Most of these founders start out building a side hustle to escape their 9-5. Slowly learning. Slowly figuring it out. Slowly building momentum. Bootstrapped with no outside money. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗶𝗻 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓: Most people have the skills, time, and tools to build a 6-figure business from ZERO. One that leads to more money + freedom. The trick is starting and being patient enough to figure it out along the way. You don't need a sexy idea. You don't need the perfect plan. You don't need $1M in VC money. You need consistent action, iteration, and learning. 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙝𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙡𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙣 𝙣𝙤𝙬? Tell me what you're working on ↓ -- P.S.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘂𝗻-𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 (and make more money in 2025): • Teach yourself digital skills • Start experimenting with a side hustle • Grow it to $1,000-$5,000 a month income 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳. This is how you become un-fireable over the next 12 months. Do you need to quit your job? Nope. Do you need to diversify your income? Yep. "𝙃𝙚𝙮 𝙡𝙤𝙮𝙖𝙡 𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙤𝙮𝙚𝙚, 𝙮𝙤𝙪'𝙧𝙚 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙙" What? Why?

Oh great that should pay my bills.

"𝙇𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙨 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙞𝙩 𝟭𝟬𝟬% 𝙛𝙞𝙜𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙤𝙪𝙩" Far from it actually... A LinkedIn creator I consider a friend sent me a voice note last week. We're building similar businesses. We've had similar transitions from 9-5. We're learning a lot of the same lessons. 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽...𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱. I smiled while listening to his note. "𝙎𝙚𝙚𝙢𝙨 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙞𝙩 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙛𝙞𝙜𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙤𝙪𝙩" Good for me if it seems that way. But here's the reality: • Publishing every day is hard • Hearing "No" 100x a week is hard • Dealing with constant failure is hard • Always figuring sh*t out 24/7 is hard But what's the alternative? Feeling stuck in a 9-5. Feeling like I'm not learning. Feeling like everything is easy. Feeling like I have untapped potential. No thanks. I'd rather feel like I'm solving a never-ending puzzle and growing in the process. 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 = 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 Not for the person who's looking for a safe, comfortable, quiet job. If you want to: • Start writing on LinkedIn • Start making Solopreneur money • Start unlocking potential inside of you Then prepare for discomfort. This is the price I choose to pay. And I wouldn't have it any other way. 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙖 𝙨𝙠𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙤𝙧 "𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜" 𝙮𝙤𝙪'𝙧𝙚 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙖 𝙗𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙧? Anyone building a business knows this feeling.

𝗦𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗛𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗹𝗲 = 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 5 lessons you'll learn building a business: - Sleep solves a lot of problems - Rest is productive, not a weakness - Failure is just data on what *not* to do - Improve offer #1 before launching offer #2 - You can't grow without customer feedback Entrepreneurship = Personal Growth It's better than any self-help book. Learning by doing. - You learn sales - You learn marketing - You learn to create offers - You learn hiring and firing A lot of it feels like trudging through the mud, slower and messier than you'd like.

Here’s the bonkers part of writing online and getting noticed by people you admire: You meet the big creators and learn... Everyone is human. Yeah you might see: - Millions of views online - Success and money being made - Likes, thumbs, and hearts (oh my) But you don’t see the full picture... It’s hard to hit publish every day. It’s hard to write good stuff. It’s hard to avoid burnout. It’s hard to be normal. The person you admire for creating content is 100% a normal human with digital skills. You can learn these skills, too. But the only way forward is to: • Try a lot of stuff • Play the long game • Prepare to fail and learn The success you from other people on LinkedIn isn't luck. It's a mindset of "I will figure this out"

Life is too short for pessimists. How to not poison your financial potential: I've always thought big, maybe too big. You know what 99% of people say when you present BIG ideas? • It's not realistic • There's too much risk • You're only going to fail Good. Lean into this and be careful who you take career advice from. 1) I want to start a business. Pessimists: You'll probably fail Optimists: You have a chance to win big. 2) I want to start investing. Pessimists: The stock market is a casino. Optimists: That's the way to build wealth. 3) I want to leave my 9-5 Pessimists: You need a monthly salary. Optimists: You need to start a side hustle. 4) I want to become financially free. Pessimists: Invest in your company 401(k) Optimists: Invest in your skills and mentors. Why is it that 90% of successful people I meet didn't follow the "traditional" path? There's a lesson in here. 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝟵-𝟱 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙧 𝙥𝙖𝙩𝙝 𝙑𝙨 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙧 𝙞𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙨?

I was lucky to get career advice at 25 that changed my POV about failure: "You are going to suck in the beginning. That's okay. It's normal." There are 101 reasons to not: • Start a business • Start writing online • Start going to the gym • Start going outside your comfort zone The biggest one: Fear of failure Or worse, getting called out. "Did you see Anthony's post today? He has no clue what he's talking about." But most of the time this is other people projecting their fear of doing what you did: Trying something new. It takes a lot of courage. And guess what? If you ignore the haters and work on improving 1% every week... You can't lose.
