Here is a few questions to ponder while you read this article:
- What do you stand for?
- What does your brand stand for?
If you are consistently living up to your brand’s values, stand up and give yourself a slow clap as you continue reading this article for your own amusement.
Everyone else: take a seat. This is not a drill.
We need to talk about your brand.
Branding is all about repetition and consistency.
If you aren’t consistently following your brand’s values, then your brand consistently sucks.
?? Trust works the same way.
Trust is a peace of mind. When we work with you that you know you will deliver. That you uphold your side of the deal. That's trust. A brand has a high trust factor inherent to it's DNA.
Imagine, rocking up to KFC and they serve vegan fried tofu? They definitely would lose a fanatic customer like me, I there to eat wicked wings, real chicken!
Don’t be one of those people.
Be a professional who stands out on social media as a trusted voice, and creates content that people want to listen to.
??Think for a moment: Who Is Listening to You?
I can relate - I struggled to be heard for years before I finally found my voice. Quitting my 9-5 job and investing 100% of my energy into what I really wanted to do - helping professionals build and scale their personal brands - was the best decision I've ever made.
?? 4 years of intense work and 8 million views later...
...I've developed The Trusted Voice, equipping entrepreneurs and professionals around the world with the tools they need to grow and scale their own personal brands. LinkedIn has recognised me as a Top Voice, 3 years in a row.
We plan to be the trusted guide to help you:
- develop brand clarity
- increase your brand reputation online
- upskill you to be an epic content creator (and do it authentically)
- streamline and monetise your expertise and knowledge
- leverage LinkedIn (to building relevant connections or finding relevant clients or leads).
?? But I'm not stopping there.
I’ve launched The Trusted Circle, a community-network of like-minded doers that support each other and succeed together. We're expert voices in our own fields, and we share a passion for working on our own terms - I call it the passion economy.
We all heard of the gig economy, but who wants to contribute to a zero-sum game?
??Real talk...
...If you are going to create and execute a winning strategy for your brand in 2020, you need a trusted guide and a winning playbook.
The most successful entrepreneurs collaborate with someone trustworthy who offers advice, brains without bullshit and motivation when it’s needed most.
That's where I come in. I will be the guide that helps you stay ahead of the game with winning strategies, and support you to do your best work.
When it comes to branding, content, tech (I like building systems using tools) and marketing - then I would love to be your guide!
There's a huge audience on LinkedIn waiting for your trusted advice.
They are ready to listen!
If not you, then who?
The one who stays on top of mind wins the game of attention.
Be on top of mind, stay relevant.
Create content in your authentic voice.
?? So, do they trust you?
It's time to add flavour to your brand and become a LinkedIn channel that people can trust.
To do that you need to raise your voice and start speaking.
And we're here ???? to help you get there ???? ????.
I'd love to invite you to be part of the First 100

4 年Authenticity “Just be who you are and speak from your guts and heart – it’s all a man has.” – Hubert Humphrey Authenticity refers to being honest in all things – not just what you say and do, but who you are. When you’re authentic, your words and actions align with who you claim to be. Your followers shouldn’t be compelled to spend time trying to figure out if you have ulterior motives. Any time they spend doing so erodes their confidence in you and in their ability to execute. Leaders who are authentic are transparent and forthcoming. They aren’t perfect, but they earn people’s respect by walking their talk.

4 年Wait what?!? You had a 9-5 job String ??. No seriously love what you’re doing to bring everyone out there a voice that can make them stand out. The difference between you and me is that I say “Just do it” whereas you give people a system and structure they can work off of. That’s also why we’re now hiring a part time student to formalize our marketing strategy and expand our content on multiple channels ??. Takes a real marketeer to do that!
