Mindset shifts are the toughest, because my mind holds me back from growing if I don't recognize the imposter whispering in my ear.

I have worked from home since 2003. I couldn't imagine going into an office daily. However, a hybrid model appeals to me, just to get out of my pajama pants, and into jeans

I like to dive right in and break things.

1. Human to Human Marketing using Demand Generation in the Buyer's Funnel. 2. Abandoning Sales Funnels and Lead Generation. 3. Using Relatable Interactive Video Relationships to accelerate the time and trust to break the B.S. barriers and help potential buyers become customer ambassadors

Engage with the content of others you find interesting on LinkedIn first. Don't expect others to engage with you first. Show some love to others, and you will receive more love than you can handle back.

I follow an amazing woman, Ashley Gross of The AI Workforce Alliance, and Chief AI Officer. I suggest doing the same. She is incredible, and has had extraordinary ROI on her AI usage.

Such a great question! Here are 3 pieces of advice I've been given, and live by to increase my productivity: 1. Turn off all notifications on all devices. Seriously! Otherwise, you keep responding to other people's priorities instead of your own production. 2. Use Parkinson's Law - The time it takes to complete a task is the time you schedule to complete (paraphrasing - look it up). 3. Batch...

It's not about the product, IMHO. It's about the founder and team, and your company's unique POV. What do you stand for? What do you stand against in your industry? Don't be afraid to talk about that. Your future ambassadors are the people who will clearly align with those things, and also love your product, because it serves them. There are a few books that outline this idea very well. Play...

Batch those brain-dump content, then double the impact by using that text-based post as the script to a video. Two pieces of content for the creative price of one.

The biggest lesson I learned during my entrepreneurial journey was that my successes or failures are not personal. I am not my business. That also means that the successes or failures of my business are also not related to me, personally. This takes the imposter off my shoulder, and allows me to lean forward and learn from mistakes and failures more effectively without attaching my emotional...

Check out Circle. Whichever you choose, this will help with DarkSocial marketing promotions of your community. This is the way Native Digitals now consider who to do business with. It has already shifted from sales funnels, ads, and lead gen to buyer's funnels, WOM and demand gen. Can't wait!

Anxiety --> Gratitude That's my go to right now.

Timely topic, and great question, Sebastian! I have had remote team members for 4 years all across the U.S. and in Europe, and we communicate several times per week to keep the culture strong, and the work productive. Short strategy and tactical meetings are held every other day (and sometimes daily during launches and project deadlines). We use tools like Trello and Slack to keep our...

Hey Innovators - Growing and maintaining a Facebook(TM) group of engaged members who become warm prospects takes a lot of time, dedication and money. It no longer needs to. There are many guru strategies that suggest you: - Use Ads to a landing page as a fast way to generate leads for your group - Hire an army of appointment setters who cold DM members to start a conversation - Task those...

Great ideas. I would add to use an outline to stay on track for your message.

Regular, responsive communication is the best way to educate and support your customers, and turn them into ambassadors. What have I tried, and what has worked well? Wherever your customer choose to communicate, offer that to them - chatbots, email, live chat, phone, SMS, social channel DMs, etc. When you have had real conversations to know the words your audience, prospects and customers...

To have the targeted, qualified initial outreach and connection automated saves me more than time! It allows me to tackle the tasks only I can accomplish with the freedom of worry that the lead generation tasks are comfortably and safely taken care of for me. WOW!
