In 2023: I became #1 female creator on LinkedIn by building my personal brand and agency
In 2024: I'm building the best education platform to teach people exactly how to do it

Helped, coached and worked with 500+ build contents systems, increase engagement, improve their writing and beyond using proven strategies that worked for me.

Founder

2 years ago, I struggled with crippling self doubt. 

Then, I came across Alex Hormozi. Here's what happened since...

• Spoken on international stages without a stutter.
• Been featured in Forbes 4x times before turning 27.
• Built a 7-figure business from my uni dorm room.

But most importantly, made my family proud. 

Hormozi showed me that when in doubt, I needed to double down not back down. So I built a protocol. 

Whenever I felt self-doubt, I'd:

1. Understand where it's coming from 
2. Prove to myself that thought is wrong 
3. Do a hard thing that day to build momentum
4. Outwork everyone in whatever capacity I could
5. Repeat until self-doubt isn't even a thought

This is built after his famous quote 

"You don’t become confident by shouting affirmations in the mirror, but by having a stack of undeniable proof that you are who you say you are"

Because when you believe in yourself and have proof. 

No one can break you. Not even your own thoughts. 

Shoutout to Alex (and leila too) for inspiring GenZs worldwide to not settle for an average life. 

PS: Tag the 1 person who inspires you ❤️

Entrepreneur building businesses on Linkedin | Featured on Forbes, Kajabi + Semrush | Helped 1,000+ people build their personal brand online

I posted my first LinkedIn post 3 years ago. 

It went viral and it changed my life forever. 
But I nearly didn't post it. I'd avoided it for months. 

So, I clicked post. Shut my laptop. Went to the gym. 

24hrs later the post had 2k likes and 100k impressions.
Today it is still one of my most viral posts. 

And a constant reminder to just go for it.

Without a perfect picture or a perfect hook.
Without a crazy rich network or $10M business.

Because if you never try, you'll never know.

To celebrate my LinkedIn birthday, I want to thank you. 

If you've been here since that post.
If you've been here during the agency times.
If you just got here and have no idea who I am.

Thank you for giving me your time anyway. 

I'll save my re-introduction post for another day.
But... I want to challenge you to do one. 

(I'm giving away $1,000 to 1 person who nails it). 

To enter this challenge follow these rules:

1. Re-introduce yourself using proven formats
2. Like and repost this post so I know you're in
3. Use a good photo so it performs well 
4. Tag me in the comments so I see it

My intro post changed my life, I hope it changes yours. 

Closing entry June 1st. Good luck.

If you want to grow on LinkedIn, don't do this:

(7 Mistakes that cost me 100k followers and sales)

Most Linkedin posts focus on what to do.
But here's what I wish I hadn't done last year:

1. Waited too long to promote myself
2. Made 'custom' offers for every client
3. Didn't grow a newsletter early enough
4. Confused clear content for basic content
5. Overused storytelling because it got likes
6. Got lazy, engaged less and lost momentum
7. Underused my profile to get more conversions

Here's how I fixed them in 2025:

1. I plug my offers at least 4x a week on content
2. I built an offer ecosystem for clients to pick from
3. I use lead magnets to grow my newsletter weekly
4. I write in short sentences but high-value terms
5. 100% of the stories add value to my followers
6. 60-minute non-negotiable engagement block
7. My featured section is always optimised with an offer

After fixing these, I've grown by 10k+ followers a month.

And add an extra $10k+ to the business when done right

If you had to do one thing today, I'd beg you to promote yourself more. Launch a new offer or post a testimonial.

I'm rooting for you here, friend.

They laughed at me, now they celebrate me. 

I've shared my bullying story before... 

Mocked for being different.
Tied up to poles and left alone.
Harassed because of my hair and skin color.

But what I don't share is how those bullies over time have become my fans over the last few years. Funny lol.

I see some of them copying my content (in spanish).
I see many of them stalking me on social media often.

And my favorite? The teachers who told me to quit now use me as an example of success back at school. 

Here's your reminder that:

First they laugh, then they copy. 

Don't hide yourself.

I'm firing 3 roles in the business this month.

It's the best decision I can make.

My current team helped me get to $1M+.

But the same team won't get me to the next level.

Look...

The head of client operations was good..
But she wasn’t the greatest.

The lead content writer was great...
But she couldn’t keep up. 

The executive assistant was fabulous...
But she's tired.

So I'm firing all of them

Because truth be told: 

The person doing all three of these jobs was ME. 
Over the last 3 years I've done everything in the biz.

Haven't taken a single holiday in 3 years.

Thought I could do it all by myself.

But I can't be the founder, CEO, head of ops, content writer, assistant and creative director at the same time.

So I'm firing myself from these 3 roles. 

Ill be delegating to people who can do the job 10x better.

So if you...
Want join Noor leading the operations in the business.

Comment below or email hello@ladigitalmx.com.

I'm officially hiring again.

PS: ♻️ Repost so the best on LinkedIn see this.

I sold out my 6-week personal branding mastermind. 

Here's how it's going so far... (10M+ Impressions...)

Some members have added 10k+ followers.
Multiple members have reached 1M+ impressions. 

And by week 3 others are signing 4,5 and 6 figure deals. 

But the best thing for me? They have visibility. 

Building this programme has been the hardest and most time-consuming thing I've done in a while.

Fresh and updated lessons every single week.
3 weekly calls and top tier guests coming in to talk.
A 24/7 community that is always active.

For the first time, creators + entrepreneurs have access to every single 'secret' of the online business space.

Content creation. Positioning. Lead generation. All of it.

PS: We gave away 5 FREE spots to people who reshared my content last month. I'm always watching.

My 6-step storytelling framework is unbeatable.

If you cringe at writing stories on LinkedIn, read this:

Most stories focus on the achievement or big 'win'.
But the best ones focus on the transformation instead.

Here's a simple framework I use. With examples:

1. Write the 1 thing you want to talk about
↳ "Giving a keynote at an industry conference"

2. Write down what 3 challenges you faced:
↳ "Struggled with mental health, wanted to quit, failed"

3. Write down what the challenges it taught you
↳ "Had to learn how to turn failures into strengths"

4. Write down how you overcame them
↳ "Found mentors and focused on self-improvement"

5. Link it all back to why it is important to your audience
↳ "It all looked easy from the outside, but the reality..."

6. Leave people with one lesson they can apply
↳ "Saying no to everything so I could say yes to me"

Then write your post focusing on the journey.

Most stories on Linkedin simply state facts.
A winning story shares the transformation instead.

Engage them with emotion, sell them with the facts.

Entrepreneurs need to stop using ChatGPT to write.

(If you want to write faster, read this...) 

Most founders and creators are ruining their personal brands using ChatGPT content. It's too obvious.

But Scripe is killing it for entrepreneurs in 2025.

Here's how I used it (watch the video)

1. Click on 'create a post' 
2. Go to generate from text
3. Insert a few lines of ideas
4. Let it give you 6 brand new hooks
5. Give it one last prompt to perfect the last draft
6. Edit to add some personal lines of expertise/story

Bonus: Ask it to give you an 8 word hook.
And ask it to give you a re-hook. 

In seconds, you're done. 
This is crazy, I'm impressed.

So, my friend: master AI before it masters you.

Congrats to scripe on their 2.0 version!

This 1 free lead magnet made me $11,358.

Here's my mini masterclass (so you can copy me).

Look most lead magnets suck - they don't convert. 
They're too long. Too fluffy. Too generic.

Here's 6 steps to make one that "prints" money:

1. Define the ideal transformation your client wants. 
2. Break down the journey to get there (in steps).
3. Choose the format (email/notion/zoom).
4. Give *incomplete* information in it.
5. Add CTA's at the end of each lesson.
6. Promote it using content weekly.

Look, you don't need 10 lead magnets. 
You just need a highly effective one. 

The best entrepreneurs do exactly that. 

Give enough information to solve a problem.
But not enough to replace your paid solution.

Almost like... this post ;) 

I'm breaking this 6 step systematic process in crazy detail inside Creator Capital my new 6 week programme.
