TIL: patterns, monetization & reminders

August 12, 2024
Regardless of whether you’re an influencer or a business owner, you need to solve two key problems.

The first one is the growth problem. How do I get followers? How do I get people to know me?

The second one is the monetization problem. How do I convert those followers into paychecks? How do I turn awareness into independence?

Many people online like to overcomplicate stuff.

When you boil things down to their first principles interesting things come up.

That’s the reason why I was able to grow a clothing brand, fill my membership program over and over and over again, and have my 500th strategy session with an influencer yesterday.

(Yep, I’m writing down and counting every meeting)

Life is full of patterns.

Our digital world is no different.

What does a clothing brand, a membership program, and influencers have in common?

Not much.

But when you truly understand in depth how certain things work (ex. growth and monetization) you are able to connect the dots more often than not.

INFLUENCER GROWTH PROGRAM

I wish more influencers would like to launch their on brand or scale their membership.

The truth is however that the most people in my program just want to have a handful of fashion or beauty brands sending them monthly paychecks.

There’s nothing wrong with that.

It just forced me to invest a couple of hundreds of hours more and many sleepless nights trying to figure out how this completely different world works.

If you want to launch your own brand, scale your membership or start working with brands, don’t give up on your dreams.

You can’t lose, if you don’t quit.

THINGS I’VE LEARNED

1.
Came across a book that said:

Health: 80% eating,
20% exercising

Wealth: 80% habits,
20% math

Happiness: 80% purpose,
20% fun

Talking: 80% listening,
20% speaking

Improving: 80% persistence,
20% ideas

Learning: 80% understanding,
20% reading

Relationships: 80% giving,
20% receiving

“Prioritize the 80%, and the rest will fall into place.”

2.
What is excellence.

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act but a habit.”

– Aristotle

GROW YOUR INFLUENCE

There are a million different ways to grow your influence and this is a big part of this newsletter. I am a big believer that we should be reminded more than we should be taught.

With that being said my dear reader, happiness is 80% purpose and 20% fun.

Improving is 80% persistence, 20% ideas.

Don’t let social media convenience you otherwise.

to your growth and influence,
