My #1 tip for 2025: Prioritize your audience growth. I just crossed 60k followers on LI. And I’m so grateful for all the love! This is what 1 year of consistency looks like. But only when you know how to play the game. Because when you compound the right actions, Your growth is unstoppable—even when the game is rigged. Building your audience is how you become known. Don’t listen to small advice advocating small audiences. More is more. That philosophy has led to my 0→60K. And my results aren’t an outlier—we’ve added over 1M followers to our clients in the past year. Want me and my team to do this for you too? Click: Visit my website to apply now.

Rejection sucks! If you don't make it your secret weapon. This will change your perspective forever. How to create momentum with failure: ??????'?? ?????? ???????????????????? ???????????? ??????. Why do they sting? ? The ego gets bruised ? Our skills feel invalidated ? Doubt seeps in about business viability The truth? ↓ Rejection isn't about you; it's feedback. Mindset Reset: Use it as data, not a dagger. ???????? ?????????????????????? ???????? ???????? ??????????????. You're not selling a service; you're solving a problem. ? What's the client's real pain? ? Can your Skill Stack uniquely fix it? ? Does your solution align with their goal? Rejection is often a mismatch. Analyze, don't agonize. ?????????????? ??????'?? ???? ????????????????. Ever felt like your world was caving in? Did that define you? Did it last forever?

Uncomfortable Reality for Employees: 6 Truths I wasted a decade learning… 1. The problem isn’t you. 2. The raise isn’t coming. 3. The bad boss isn’t leaving. 4. The culture isn’t getting better. 5. The promotion isn’t a project away. 6. The micromanagement is here to stay. These problems go well beyond you. A mentor use to say, “The fish stinks from the head.” (That’s the [lack of] leadership team.) People behave how leadership tolerates. And people do what they can to remain comfortable. That includes avoiding hard truthful conversations. Instead they opt to make empty promises. Be careful accepting everything as truth. I’m not saying, “be a cynical person.” But I am saying, “be optimistic.” Be optimistic about: → Your worth → Your adaptability → Your resourcefulness These traits will free you from your chains. Someone out there will pay you exactly what you want and more, but only if they can find you. Don’t be afraid to leave that sh*tty job. Plan your exit strategy. Then build your exit. ↓ Leverage social. You can do it. I can help. Let’s go! シ ?? Smash that repost button! ?? ?? Follow Jordan Murphy ????? for more. ?? Which (1-6) is draining your energy? — P.S.

The Secret to Effortless Management: It’s Not About Doing More—It’s About Delegating Better. Most people think becoming more successful means doing more themselves. But here’s the truth: your most valuable skill isn’t doing—it’s getting others to do. Here’s why: When I launched Brain Apes, I quickly realized that no matter how hard I worked, there was always too much on my plate. I needed to delegate, but not just dump tasks—I had to ensure people knew exactly what to do and how to do it. And here’s the formula that made my business scale faster than I imagined: ↓ ? ?????? ???????????????????? ?????????????? ? There are 5 reasons people don’t execute: 1. Something ?????????????? them. 2. They ????????’?? ???????? ?????? to do it. 3. They ????????’?? ???????? ????????? you wanted. 4. They ????????’?? ???????? ???????? you wanted it.. 5. They ??????????’?? ?????????????????? or incentivized. If you’re missing just one of these, your delegation will fail. The task will either fall apart or create more stress for you. ↓ ? ???? ?????? ???? ?????? ?????? ????????? ? You don’t have to micromanage. Everyone just needs clarity. → ?????????? ???? ??????: Teach your team exactly what needs to be done, how it should be done, and by when. → ???????????? ?? ????????????????: Make it clear that deadlines matter just as much as the task itself. → ???????? ???? ????????????????????: Ensure there’s something in it for them—whether it’s recognition, a reward, or a sense of accomplishment. ↓ ? ?????? ?????????? ???????????????????? ? Effortless Hard Conversations. Delegating right makes having difficult conversations easier. When something goes wrong, you can break it down and ask: ? Did they know what to do? ? Did they know how to do it? ? Were they blocked? This approach turns uncomfortable confrontations into productive problem-solving sessions. From implementing this, my agency hit 5 figures in month 1 and a 6 figure run-rate in month 2—and the best part is, I scaled without burning out. (That’s key when you’re consciously creating a lifestyle business. It’s about the lifestyle—and let's be real—I can't provide top-notch service and prioritize lifestyle without my team.) If you want to use LinkedIn to build your lifestyle business, you can't just hire and delegate everything—you need to know what good looks like to define it for others.. You need the right playbook, or your hire will fail. Or you can leverage my proven playbooks. And let my team do it all for you. (We’ll do all the hard work.) You in?

Making money online isn’t hard. But it can be tricky to balance everything. Because so many things are of equal relative importance. A delicate dance between risk, priority, and responsibility. Just like this video—catches ball, drops baby, catches baby, never drops his beer. Without each component in business, the engine might not function properly. (mini-checklist below) And that includes a competent founder/operator. The good thing is that once you put in the work, you’ll finally “get” it. And once you “get” it, making money is easy. You can practically print money. But you need to play long enough to learn. The crazy thing is that you’ll become the driving force of success regardless of paradigm shifts and the expiration of trends or other market factors that cause financial instability. Basically, the more shit you go through, the better you get at going through shit. Such is life… lol So let’s say you’ve nailed: → Your Offer → Your Niche → Your Fulfillment And: → Your GTM Strategy → Your Marketing Plan Simplified, you know what you do, for whom, how you’re going to tell the world and make it known. It’s at this crucial point, I see many founders fail. Why? They need more attention. They need to test and iterate. They need to become known. If you’re getting ignored by your prospects, you’ll struggle to make money and keep playing the game. Your financial runway will collapse. Your business will fail. But you don’t have to go through that. I failed 4x as a founder before I figured it out with Brain Apes. So I made this for you—it’s free.

Let me save you some money right now. Lots of "experts" are selling LinkedIn courses. And all they’re doing is recycling the same info. I know because I’ve bought all the courses they bought. But I’ve personally run the top creators on every platform. So here’s the real real: you need the right tools to execute the right information. Because guess what? Even after you have the right info… It is literally worthless if you don’t know how to or don’t have the time to apply it. Brain Apes has all the resources under one roof. And I’m talking about the DFY resources. → The ones that move the needle. → The ones that bring leverage. → The ones that people love. See, I’m a biz dev guy. I love to build—people, products, and processes. I was recently referred to as a LinkedIn Mogul. I have NEVER been called a Mogul lol ???? ?????? ???????????? ????????. That word correlates to a Tycoon in my mind. And I loved playing Tycoon games. (Probably why I love business.) Simulation games are great! I even love playing Monopoly. But no one likes to play it with me. You could say I’m primed for long games. So now I’m playing the longest game in business, meaning as all the people fire up and fizzle out... I’ll be here.

7 BRUTAL Mindset Traps And how you can avoid (and escape) them: Ever felt like your external world is dictating your life? Here’s a reality check: Everything you think you see outside is an illusion—light refraction processed and inverted by your retina. Your inner world creates your experience. It paints the meaning of what happens. It's how you process the world around you. And it's all an inside job. Let’s uncover the most insidious mindset traps—and the powerful solutions to escape them (solutions in the pdf): 1. Thinking “Everything Will Work Itself Out” Without Action Comfort lies: Maybe I’ll get lucky. Reality knows: Luck favors action-takers. Trapped by inaction? Start small. Each step creates clarity. 2. Believing Your Inner Critic A belief is just a story in your head that you don't question. So that voice in your head saying “You’re not enough”? → It’s a lie. A made-up story. Your thoughts are often just habits, not truths. But pay attention to them—your self-talk shapes your outcomes. 3. Chasing Perfection Perfection = procrastination in disguise. You’re avoiding failure, not pursuing excellence. 4. Externalizing Power You wait for validation, opportunities, or the “perfect” time. Reality: You hold the power to act right now. 5. Staying in Your Comfort Zone Comfort zones feel safe but make you stuck. Unchecked and you lose decades to complacency. ? Your growth lives in discomfort. 6. Focusing on What You Lack Scarcity traps you in comparison and fear. Abundance begins with gratitude. 7. Living Reactively, Not Intentionally Most drift through life reacting to problems instead of designing solutions. Reactive living robs you of energy and creativity. The Truth Is: → Your reality is created by you. → Not by chance, but by choice. → Every thought is a seed. What are you planting today? ?? Which trap has held you back the most? ??

?????????????? ???????? ???? ???????? ???? Quitting isn’t failure—staying stuck is. I’ve hit glass ceilings in corporate jobs, stayed in toxic environments too long, and failed at four businesses before building Brain Apes, my agency that hit a mid six figure run rate in its second month. Here’s what I’ve learned: If you don’t advocate for yourself with action, you stay the source of your own suffering. You don’t grow where you’re undervalued, overworked, or boxed in. Sometimes you have to leave to level up. 4 signs it’s time to quit: 1. Your value is ignored. 2. Work overtakes your life. 3. Chronic stress that drains you. 4. No growth—professionally or personally. I finally broke free when I moved to Florida. A mentor showed me what life could look like when you shed limiting beliefs. That shift led to the life I live now—free, purposeful, and on my terms. You can’t change your outcomes without changing your thinking. And once you shift your mindset, the action becomes clear.
