Meet Chris - He runs one of the most successful platforms on social media on the planet @LIVEpositivity 60m followers across social media spanning 10yrs+ But like a lot of people, he was stuck with X. One thing that says a lot to me - he'd never hired a consultant to help the group before. But more than that - he understands the importance of systems over reach, followers and impressions. If the next step isn't working you need a better system. The thing with X is its always been a micro attention platform, read and scroll. So how do you get people to stick and buy? I help people that want better social business growth systems that compliment your positioning and message. So every day they know social is working for them in the way that actually grows their business and moves them forwards. Than you Chris - and drop me a note if you've got to the point of "there has to be another way to make this work".

We’ve entered a dangerous era of anyone thinking they can do anything, …then finding out down the road it’s a lot harder than they realise… …when all you have is a super agreeable dev on your side. If you’ve ever hired one in the past you’ll know exactly what I mean.

It’s a great clip and good reminder why you’re out here trying to make a place for your business. + why you should keep going. Adam has an incredible story.

A content system should make good work easier to repeat. It should not make mediocre work easier to publish. Publishing natively is what the platforms want and doing an extra bit of work is another reason seperating you from everyone else.

Do you agree?

Not going to tech week? Didn’t get the invite to token2049? Feel like you’re missing out on all these opportunities? Think of the other millions that can’t go. Now you start to see a new opportunity. Be there for them. Show up. Be useful. Follow up. businessnetworking.club/blog…

Well done for doing something new.

You can be on the spectrum, have ADHD, be an introvert, have dyslexia, be completely broke, have no friends or family supporting you …and still win when you change your surroundings.

Most founders are doing everything they can to avoid a conversation that could hurt their feelings. Or make them start again. This is going to save you so much time, make you so much more confident, improve your offers and most of all have certainty you’re being useful.

The current state of DMs has never been a more confused bunch of nonsense. “Hi Jason - I’ll get straight to it, quick question or me me me, I, I, I” Instead: Start with them not you. No links. No thumbs up to get my thing. No I saw you followed x so I thought you’d be interested in my offer. Guessing or leaps of connection won’t cut it. focus on something you can do that nobody else can be bothered to or will offer - go the extra mile. Value = something useful you can do that demonstrates your skills and shows how much better + more trusted you are than anyone else.

community mods on Reddit when you copy and paste into a post:

The discipline it took to get 1000 followers is the same as getting your first customer. But a different system. You need to remember that followers today, mean very little. Especially when you see most won’t see you again. Better systems give you the best chance to convert.

It will never be perfect. Not ever. Positioning is good enough for today, and from today it’s knowing it will be something g you continuously improve on.

Blink and they’re all grown up.

So good.

Your brain can put anything off until tomorrow. Just tell it do it anyway. Do it scared Do it uncomfortable Do it tired Nobody is judging you they’re all focused on themselves. So just do it anyway.

Terrible advice. Marketing Twitter is ready to die on that hill.

Cheer for the people around you. Costs nothing and makes you feel good to be doing the right thing.

Doing the advice you've taken "your way", is usually making it just about comfortable enough for you and expect the results to still be as good.

Cmon Mark everyone knows that’s my line… you gonna steal that too!

You need to figure out what works first before you decide what to be consistent with.
