Got invited to the creator-only virgin voyages cruise this week. All because of posting content online. Didn't have to pitch anything. Didn't fill out an application. Didn't send a bunch of emails. This changed how you think about what building online actually means. Here's what this week looked like: 1. Working alongside Fabletics, PATH, and Insta360 2 2. Working in the middle of the ocean kinda epic. 3. In rooms I'd never have gotten into by just "being a business owner." Nobody really shows you the opportunities that LinkedIn and social media open. People flex money, leads, followers, revenue, and all of these things (which is cool for the business of course). But it's important to look at what consistently builds over time as a business owner creating content. If you're building here on LinkedIn, you have the opportunity to: - Work with brands you use yourself. - Get brand deals you never applied for. The opportunity you can't see today is already forming. Get after it!! Alex

Happy Monday LinkedIn friends. Alright, let me explain the importance of showing up. 1. First on LinkedIn with your posting, engaging, and DMs. 2. Second here on Skool with our community. Showing up is the hardest thing about social selling and building a brand. 99% of the people I interactive with will disappear in 30-60 days. This is what happens when you don't stay consistent and have zero drive in what you're doing. Results happen first with showing up. Whether you want to or not. Whether you feel like it or not. Or whether you have things figured out or not. Just show up here. This is my challenge for you: Show up on LinkedIn daily (1x post OR 10x comments OR 5x DMs). Bonus points if you can do all three of these tasks every single day. Show up in our Skool here daily. Interact with posts. Share your ideas, what's working and what's not working. Ask questions. I'll be handing out more prizes for active people seeking growth. Let's grow together my friends. Alex out!

I am building out a newsletter and using Linkedin as the primary to grow. I get connection requests but I'm not sure if these people are my ICP ( a lot of them are new grads from college which is not who I am targeting). Should I be accepting these requests or should I only accept (and add) people who I feel are my ICP.

Another 250 days to reach 17,000 followers. Another 250 days to reach 25,000 followers. Another 300 days to reach 40,000 followers. If I gave up the first time: 1. When things got hard. 2. When results slowed down. 3. When I got super bored... I would never have gotten to the same results I have today. There will 100% be MANY good parts while building your business, but also TONS of downs throughout the process. It's NORMAL. What's worked for me is quite simple: I slow down. I'm quick to listen and slow to speak. Below this post, drop the following: 1. A screenshot of your LinkedIn profile (with followers/connections) 2. How often you're posting on LinkedIn right now 3. What your goals are the next 3 months I'll also provide profile audits for those of you who need some strong feedback on your brand. Alex
