About Me:

I often get asked how many years ago I started growing on social media.

The honest truth?
…One. 

In January 2023, I had about 1k LinkedIn followers (and a ton of imposter syndrome).

I didn’t think of myself as a thought leader.
I only saw male creators in the personal growth niche.
I assumed I didn’t have anything original or “new” to contribute.

Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined what could happen in 1 year.

➤ Grew from 1k - 300k on LinkedIn in 12 months
➤ Was featured in two full-length Forbes articles
➤ Got approached by numerous book publishers
➤ Received daily invitations to be a guest on a podcast
➤ Excelled in my full-time role as a marketing lead at Google
➤ Landed my first TEDx Talk (happening November 2024! 🥹)
➤ Launched The Quiet Rich™, which already has 60,000+ subscribers
➤ Built my Instagram audience from 0 (literally zero) to 73k in 6 months
➤ Met dozens of inspiring creators who I’m now grateful to call good friends
➤ Ranked #1 Productivity creator and #2 female LinkedIn creator in the world (Favikon, June 2023)
➤ Coached hundreds of CEOs, founders, authors, Fortune 100 execs, and aspiring thought leaders

A LOT can happen in one year.
Start something now that you’ll thank yourself for in 12 months.

Personal interests: riding motorcycles, scuba diving, tennis, skiing, meditation, boxing, lifestyle design

The #1 secret for managing a team:

The Skill / Will Matrix 👇

———

Danny Meyer is a legendary New York restauranteur.
He's known for Shake Shack, Union Square Cafe,
Gramercy Tavern, and others.

On the Tim Ferriss Show, he revealed this simple
(but brutally-effective) 2x2 matrix.

It's the best framework for people managers to 
decide WHO to spend their time on.

He graphs two things: Willingness + Ability.

———

So, where on the chart does he spend the most time
as a leader?

Many people would say the bottom two quadrants
↳ the folks who need motivation or need to move on.

Danny disagrees.

He spends the MOST time with the top two quadrants
↳ the high performers and those who are untrained.

Why? Because they are the key to long-term success.
It's much easier to teach a skill than to teach motivation.

———

And guess what...

Danny doesn't just keep this matrix in his own head.
He put it on the mirror of his employees' locker room.

He's 100% transparent in how he manages the team.

So every time his team gets ready, they can decide
where they are now, and where they want to be. 🙌

Give it a try with your team. Trust me.

If I could tell my younger self one thing, it would be this:

There's never going to be a "perfect time."

If you keep waiting to feel "ready," you'll never start.

So do it scared. 
Do it without all the qualifications you think you "need."
Do it despite your imposter syndrome. 
Do it even though it might fail.

——

The reality? At the end of our lives, the things we regret most aren't what we failed at. It's what we never tried at all.

In January of 2023, I didn't think of myself as a thought leader. 
↳ I only saw men in this personal growth / productivity space. 
↳ I questioned what I could contribute that was "new" or "original." 
↳ I was worried what people would think when I started posting.

15 months later, I:
➤ Grew from 1k - 320k+ on LinkedIn

➤ Excelled in my full-time role as a marketing lead at Google

 If I waited until I felt "ready," 
...I would still be waiting. ⚡️

8 things that the quietly rich don’t do:

1. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐞.

Being a celebrity isn’t appealing.
And they rarely post about their personal lives on social media.
👉 Privacy is the new luxury.

———

2. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐛𝐮𝐲 𝐚 𝐭𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬.

The quietly rich spend most of their money on:
↳ experiences (that create priceless memories)
↳ things that will give them more free time (outsourcing)
↳ things that will improve their health
↳ investments that will grow their wealth

——

3. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 24/7 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐣𝐨𝐛 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞.

Many people who are rich in money are actually “poor” in time.

Not the quietly rich. They prioritize time freedom— the ability to say yes (or no) to anything at a moment’s notice.

——

4. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 “𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞” 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫.

In fact, they believe that less is more.

(Fewer phone notifications, a small tribe of close friends, a closet of only their favorite clothes, fewer obligations.)

🙌 Fewer things = all of them have more meaning.

——

5. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐬 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬.

The quietly rich have a deep understanding of themselves.

A quiet confidence.

They have no need to prove themselves to others— and aren’t interested in playing status games for attention.

——

6. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐬.

Ever notice how many people just talk about their goals (rather than make any progress on them)?

The quietly rich move in silence.

They celebrate briefly, then move on to accomplish the next goal.

——

7. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐬.

One of the most important parts of being quietly rich… is having a quiet mind.

A mind free of self-doubt, anxiety, what-if’s and regrets. Instead, they act from a mindset of growth, self-belief, and abundance.

——

8. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐬 “𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬” 𝐢𝐬.

The quietly rich question the defaults. They don’t just want to be “rich” in money.

They also want to be “rich” in time, health, loving relationships, and purpose.

3 steps to increase your salary in your next role:

𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 1. 𝐀𝐫𝐦 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚.
Everyone knows you should never walk into a negotiation blind. But what does that actually mean?

⚡️ Pro Tips:
↳ Ask the recruiter what the compensation bands are for that role
↳ Do some research. Look up industry benchmarks from salary websites
↳ Calculate the value of your skills and experience (by quantifying your past achievements like increased revenue, streamlined processes, successful projects, etc.)

——

𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 2. 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫-𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫.
Very rarely should you accept the first offer you get. (Most places actually expect you to negotiate).

⚡️ Pro Tips:
↳ Apply to multiple roles so that you can use one of those offers as leverage.(That’s how I nearly doubled my last offer)
↳ Don’t be afraid to ask for time: "Thank you for the offer. I'm really excited about this opportunity! Can I have a day or two to review it in detail?"

——

𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 3. 𝐍𝐞𝐠𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐱.
Think beyond the money! Sometimes recruiters and hiring managers don’t have any flexibility to increase your salary. That’s not the only thing you can ask for.
	
⚡️ Pro Tips:
↳ Flexibility: Ask for more days off, flexible work hours (so you can pick up your kids from school), or more remote days per week
↳ Equity: Sometimes there’s much more “wiggle room” in stock grants
↳ Benefits: Ask about a daycare fund, a fitness fund, a professional development fund. You never know!

——

Btw, there’s 1 company that can help you land (and negotiate) your next dream job.

It’s called Pathrise. And they GUARANTEE an increase in your salary (!)

The best part? The program is 100% free until you get hired. You only pay for Pathrise if the program works for you (meaning, you accept a job offer)!

They have already placed 2,500+ job seekers (95% placement rate).

#Pathrisepartner #ad #salarynegotiation

The most worthy goal of money? To fully own your time.

Think about it…

The biggest flex isn't an expensive watch. 
It's the ability to say ‘yes’ (or no!) to anything at a moment’s notice. 

...To wake up every morning and be able to do *anything* you're excited about, for as long as you want, with the people you love most.

Time will benefit your life in a way that very few luxury goods can ever compete with.

Because even when you get the Rolex, you’ll want a Porsche 911 in your driveway. And even when you get the Porsche, you’ll want a more modern house. And even when you buy the modern house, you’ll want the yacht. And on and on and on.

It’s not that money can’t make you happy…

It’s that it won’t make you AS happy as you expected. And it won’t last AS long as you had hoped before you want more.

Too many people buy things they don’t need… just to impress people they don’t care about.

Owning a Rolex isn’t nearly as cool as owning your time.

https://lnkd.in/eSbwtXwe
“The most obvious, important realities are often the ones that are hardest to see and talk about.”

👉 Day 5: Jim Carrey

5 harsh truths I wish I could tell my 20-year-old self:

1. Stop waiting for the “right time.” You’ll never feel fully prepared; start now. There’s someone else living the life you want simply because they went for it.

2. Comparison is the thief of joy. The only person you can compare yourself to is who you were yesterday.

3. Don’t limit yourself to what you’ve always been good at. There’s an entire world of possibility out there.

4. If you’re not “failing” at least once a month, you’re not pushing yourself hard enough to reach your wildest dreams.

5. The person you will be in 5 years is a direct result of the people you spend time with, things you say yes to, and habits you build right now. Choose intentionally.

7 of the wisest things ever said about money and happiness:

2. “Too many people spend money they earned to buy things they don’t want to impress people that they don’t like.” — Will Rogers 😂

3. “I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer.” — Jim Carrey

4. “Money’s greatest intrinsic value (and this can’t be overstated) is its ability to give you control over your time.” — Morgan Housel 🙌

5. “The richest man is not he who has the most, but he who needs the least." — Paulo Coehlo

There are 8 months left in 2024.

Use this 3-step method to make more time for the things that truly matter:

——

Tim Ferriss is often asked how he sets goals for the year.

Here’s his powerful 3-step technique. 
Everyone should spend 20 mins doing this today.

1. Review your year
↳ Go through your calendar + your photos from January - April.
↳ Write down any peak positive or negative emotions. 

2. Spot the patterns
↳ What 20% of things brought you the most joy in 2023? (Traveling somewhere new? Working on a side project? Spending time with a particular person?)
↳ What 20% of things led to your lows? (Burning yourself out at work? Saying ‘yes’ to events out of obligation? Not setting boundaries?)

3. Keep the good and remove the bad
↳ Schedule your POSITIVE patterns into the rest of your 2024 calendar now. (Set dates for the next vacation, plan a monthly dinner with that one friend. etc.)
↳ Write a “NOT TO DO” list with your negative patterns, and keep that list somewhere visible.

——

Remember: It’s not enough to JUST remove the negative. 
That only creates a void. 

Get the positive things in your calendar early. 
We all know if they’re not in there, they won’t happen.

Try it out, let me know how it goes!

Here’s to designing your best life for the rest of 2024. 🥂

How to avoid FOMO.

The 37% Rule for making better decisions (backed by science):

——

When it comes to big life decisions, most of us struggle to commit… wondering “what if there’s something better out there?”

Then we wait too long, and regret not choosing an earlier option that (in hindsight) was better than the rest…

(I was guilty of this).

Then I came across the 37% Rule.

——

It’s from Algorithms to Live By— a book by Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths. 

They basically apply computer science to everyday human problems:

(e.g., how many houses to look at before buying one, how many candidates to interview before extending an offer, etc.)

It’s a 3-step process. 
Here’s how it works:

——

☝️ Step 1.

Decide the maximum amount of time you want to spend on a decision.

(For example, “I need to hire someone within the next 6 months.”)

——

✌️ Step 2. 

Explore the first 37% of your options.

Let’s say you have 10 great applicants?
Interview the first 4. 

Familiarize yourself with who’s out there, and set a benchmark of who was the “best” so far.

——

🤟 Step 3. 

Keep searching. But be ready to immediately commit to the next one who is better than the first 37%. 

Let’s say the 6th person you interview was better than the first 4 candidates? Extend the offer. 

No need to keep interviewing the others.

——

—Why it works—

Your time is scarce. If you interview EVERY candidate before extending an offer to #6, that person might’ve already accepted another job…

“Optimal stopping” is the point at which the cost of continuing to explore (e.g. losing #6) is greater than the chance of something better being out there.

This is about maximizing probabilities. 
Yes, it's "possible" that #1 or 2 was the best. 
But it's not as high of a probability.

——


The most important part of this?

Trust the process.

The more you calibrate your expectations in the “explore” period, 
the more confident you’ll feel in IMMEDIATELY committing to the next option that’s better (without seeing the other choices).

That’s how you escape FOMO.

——

TL;DR: Don’t keep exploring forever. 
(You’ll miss out on the best choice because you didn’t act fast enough).

5 common (but avoidable) mistakes people make when posting on LinkedIn:

1. 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 “𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐤.”

How do you stop someone from scrolling? 
↳ A catchy title. 
↳ Tbh, I spend an equal amount of time on the first 2 sentences of a post… as I do on the rest of the post. It’s that important. 
(Pro tip: Try to include a number in the first line.)

Btw, there’s a tool called Taplio that can help with your hooks: ➟ It gives you examples of high-performing posts in any niche.

——

2. 𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐠𝐨 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞.

↳ If you don’t have a good writing system, you’re not going to post consistently. Life gets in the way too often. 
↳ That’s why I “batch” my writing every week, blocking out a few hours on Saturday to write about 5 posts for the following week. Then I schedule them to go live (so I don’t have to hit “post” every day).

How Taplio can help: ➟ Schedule your posts in advance directly through the tool.

——

3. 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐓𝐀.

↳ Most new LinkedIn writers don’t realize the importance of a Call-To-Action.
↳  “Follow me for daily tips on personal growth.” Something as simple as that at the end of my posts increased my growth rate.

How Taplio can help: ➟ It incorporates AI to help brainstorm and draft your posts and CTAs.

——

4. 𝐓𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞.

This industry (like every other) is built on relationships. 
↳ Research 5 other LinkedIn writers in your niche (who have a similar audience size)
↳ Start commenting on their posts. Find ways to give as much free value to them as possible. It’s all about building a genuine friendship, and helping each other grow.

How Taplio can help: ➟ Create lists of people, get their latest posts, and comment in batch mode.

——

5. 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬.

↳ “What gets measured gets managed.” I’m always shocked when I meet creators who don’t track their performance over time. 
↳ At the end of every month, I review: 
1). What were my highest-performing posts? 
2). What were my lowest-performing posts? 
3). What are the patterns between those, and how will that change my strategy next month?

If you don't want to track it manually, Taplio can actually pull your analytics for you.

Most people stop negotiating their job offer too soon.

Don’t be like most people. 9 things to ask for (that aren’t salary):

——

1. 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐕𝐚𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐃𝐚𝐲𝐬

↳ Ask for more paid time off.
↳ Didn't work? Negotiate a later start date (and use that time to fully recharge before your new role)!

——

2. 𝐉𝐨𝐛 𝐓𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐞

↳ Hiring managers might have some flexibility to change your official title.
↳ Suggest an alternative that more accurately describes the level you’re coming in at, or your specific scope.

——

3. 𝐓𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐢𝐦𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭

↳ If your company offers loan forgiveness programs / new degree subsidies, ask for a higher amount to be reimbursed. 
↳ If they require a certain tenure before you start getting reimbursed, ask to shorten that time period.

——

4. 𝐃𝐚𝐲𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐢𝐦𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭

↳ Childcare during your working hours can be extremely expensive. 
↳ Some companies are open to reimbursing (or at least subsidizing) your childcare costs. Ask if they offer a program!

——

5. 𝐔𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐢𝐦𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭

↳ You might be able to get your bill expensed (or at least partially reimbursed).
↳ Same goes for your home wifi bill. (Or even commuting costs!)

——

6. 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬

This has become one of the most commonly requested benefits for:
↳ Less commute time
↳ More time with family
↳ Schedule flexibility

If you’re in a position that allows you to spend 1 day at home and 4 days in- office, try asking for a 2:3 split instead.

——

7. 𝐅𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐞

Depending on your role, you may be able to negotiate the hours you work.
↳ For example, you might want to spend 3pm-6pm with your kids every day. And then opt to log back in from 6pm-9pm.
↳ Setting your own hours also allows you to work during your best focus period.

——

8. 𝐑𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠

↳ Some companies are willing to match a portion of what you contribute to your 401k plan! Try asking for a higher match rate. 
↳ Worst case scenario? They have to say "sorry, we have no flexibility on this one." Best case scenario? Your retirement funds skyrocket.

——

9. 𝐄𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐲

↳If you’re joining an organization that can compensate in stock, performance shares, or options… ask for more.
↳ The recruiter often has more “wiggle room” to increase this (vs. salary).

Remember: You won’t get what you “deserve.” You get what you negotiate.

A surprisingly simple technique for finding your Ikigai.

4 steps to uncover your life calling:

——

The Japanese concept of Ikigai roughly translates to “what makes life worthwhile.”

Mark Manson has a related framework for finding your “life calling” — which inspired this exercise.

These 4 steps will take about 20 mins. But are brutally effective in discovering your career purpose…

——

Step 1: What do you love doing?

↳ Write down everything you enjoy spending time on. 
↳ Be as specific as possible. 
↳ Make the list long. Recall your childhood favorites, too.
↳ Big. Small. Even medium joys.

(Bonus points for things you love doing that most others don’t).

——

Step 2: What could you get paid for?

↳ Go through the list, and cross out any item that would probably be difficult to get paid for… (e.g., taking naps, eating tacos).
↳ I know I said to list ALL of your joys... but that was mainly to make you grateful for how many there are. 😉

——

Step 3: What are you skilled at?

↳ Go through what’s left: What are you better at than 90% of people?
↳ (Or at least willing to put in the work to become better at than 90%)?
↳ What do friends ask for your help on?

Cross out the ones that don’t apply.

——

Step 4: What’s good for the world?

Last step… 
↳ Circle the things that can have a positive impact on other people. In any way. Big or small.
↳ Cross out the rest. 
↳ Now take a look at what's circled. 

This combination will help you uncover your Ikigai.

——

—Why it works—

You’re looking for the intersection of:

1). What you love
2). What you can get paid for
3). What you’re uniquely skilled at
4). What’s good for the world

——

That combination is unique to you. Which means you have a significant advantage in achieving it.

After all... “No one can compete with you on being you.” – Naval Ravikant

——

Btw— I mentioned this Venn diagram is a westernized interpretation of Ikigai. It’s more relevant for finding your “career purpose” than your “reason for being.” But the insights you’ll glean from the exercise are still wildly valuable.
