Honest Question

Let’s get real here. If you’ve read this newsletter since day one and haven’t tried anything different (shared a Linkedin post, launched an article, or messaged someone new), I've failed you... ❌

As great as it feels to get likes/comments on these articles, that’s not my priority. 

My main goal with this newsletter is to inspire people to:

• get off the couch, raise the standing desk, and start sharing your ideas online in a way that gets you excited and builds your personal brand 🎬

Too often, I see people consume, consume, consume without ever putting anything into action. They memorize their favourite books, mention their top podcasts, exchange leadership quotes (I’m guilty of all of this as well)… and while none of this is bad, it becomes a roadblock rather than a runway for our output.

If you’re not actively changing the way you live or work after what you’ve learned, I believe you’re asleep at the wheel and not doing justice to how you spend your time. 💤  

As encouraging as I like to be, I want to challenge readers of this newsletter to stop waiting, get off the virtual couch, and start building your idea/skill/talent/niche/goal etc. for the world to see. 🌎

Because the worst thing you can do to your personal brand, is not creating anything at all.
