Turning yourself into a business

More and more often we are seeing people become authoritative and take over an industry. It doesn’t matter which platform you use to do it, you just need to get your message out there and show your value!

If you’re directionally correct, you’ll gain recognition. If you’re not, you’ll create an inferior personal brand and it’ll never help you monetise.

Here’s how to do it right:

Find your voice or your marketing narrative by thinking on your unfair advantage. What have you got, done or know that others don’t. If it’s nothing special, value stack it with other things you have or know!

Gain visibility. Just like starting your business, get 100 no’s by posting online in a way where you expect nothing back. Remember, you have to put 100% effort into this - give away the tactics you’ve learned not just something someone could Google.

Think about your value. Why would someone actually think you’re the person to help them. Value is everything in 2024 and just showing up prolifically and sharing thoughts is not value!

ACTION
NEXT STEPS

There are tons of next steps, but we just need to be 1% better to make the change we need.

For us, the next step should be to find 10 people doing better than you in your industry in terms of exposure and follow them, subscribe to their newsletters and begin to study their methods. Read between the lines and treat it as a fun, creative task. If you turn your personal branding into a task, you’ll never love doing it.

PODCASTS & BOOKS
LISTEN AND RECOMMEND

Our podcast episode with Jean-Pierre De Villiers has gone down so well that I have to share it with you here. If you don’t know Jean, he’s also known as ‘The Spiritual Gangster’ and shared some incredible insight into how he overcame a life changing event that made him look at life differently.

INTERACTIVE
ASK THE HEALTHY ENTREPRENEUR

Question: I struggle to find the time to be healthy whilst running my business full time - how do you do it?

Answer: I’ve played around with this and for me, I have to get exercise in before I start work. Mainly because once those words start being typed or the meetings overrun, your day can begin to lose its structure. So, exercise first, prepare your food so you know what you’re going to eat and it’s quick to make and block your day according to how you like to work. For example, I work on myself in the morning and clients in the afternoon.
