TIL: trophies, urgency & moneytrees

I knew from the first day that leading sessions with influencers, where I would regularly over-deliver, would be a challenge.

Having a single eye-opening and insightful mentoring session is a challenge.

Achieving the same result over and over again was the goal for me from day one.

Working with influencers gave me a leg up when I launched my clothing brand.

My advantage grew a little more when a couple of thousands of influencers joined my program but this wasn’t enough for me to start mentoring and guiding influencers.

What actually gave me the confidence to take the leap and start mentoring fashion influencers was the fact that they needed help solving two problems.

They wanted to learn how to grow.

They wanted to learn how to monetize.

Things become quite straightforward when you spend half a decade of your career simplifying them.

Knowing I could help influencers grow and monetize in 10 weeks didn’t guarantee I’d be a good enough mentor for them.

My new challenge was learning how to coach others and share what’s currently effective for growth and monetization.

I fell in love with this challenge.

I searched for an answer to my challenge tirelessly.

The new goal was to become the best possible right-hand for the influencers I have been working on.

I was able to overcome this challenge when I found a person who had spent +$500,000 on coaching programs. A person who has been coaching professionally for well over a decade now.

That’s when I found out a new program from this guy named Ed. I started it as an experiment but I quickly found out that it’s pure gold.

If you want to become a coach or you want to offer life-changing services to other people, I think it’s a great option.

To make things even better the program is currently free. You can find it here! (yep $0!)

INFLUENCER GROWTH PROGRAM

I still remember the days when I was writing the Influencer Growth Secrets. I had the first version ready in 5 days. The only problem was that I wanted it to be exceptional.

Putting in the required time at that phase of my life wasn’t an option. I just had too much going on business-wise. So I patiently waited a whole year. I finally found the gap on my calendar and without a second thought, I knew that the time was right.

I spent 150 days making sure that it over-delivers in every possible metric.

To this day when I receive a good comment for my book it’s one of the best feelings ever.

If you have read the Influencer Growth Secrets, please send me your honest opinion via email right now. I’d love to read it! (I’m sending a special gift to anyone who sends me their review within the next 5 days, I think you’ll love it!)

THINGS I’VE LEARNED

1.
People see the trophies but not the training ground.

“Everyone is jealous of what you’ve got, no one is jealous of how you got it.” — Jimmy Carr

2.
Almost nothing is urgent.

Almost nothing in business and life is urgent.

As much as it feels like it.

In 12 hours you can still figure it out on a good night’s sleep and make better decisions.

The difference between the quality of the decision is going to be massive.

GROW YOUR INFLUENCE

Feeling behind sucks.

Once upon a time, we were young and had the excuse “I have the whole life in front of me.”

Next thing you know you are an adult and realize that a money tree is what’s missing in life.

I still haven’t found a tree that is actually printing cash but the next best thing I’ve found is a business or a brand that has the same properties.

You water it, you let some light shine on it, and you receive cash.

In case you haven’t watered your plant(s) today, this is your reminder.
