It’s been around a year since I decided to share my thoughts out here. And yesterday I hit the 10,000 followers milestone.
I want to thank each one of you who engage (and hopefully find value) with my content and to those who have provided feedback!
10K isn’t probably a huge number and I am no expert. I never set out to build a personal brand but I believe the journey has helped me tremendously.
Here is my 2 cents for anyone who’d like to get started.
#1 Yes, I constantly struggle with ‘why will people listen to me’ when I post anything. Put yourself out there. Even when you fear it.
#2 Writing each day is therapeutic, helps structure thoughts better and builds discipline. I know where I have improved.
#3 Don’t sell your soul for likes. I have made peace with the fact that I will only post what authentically represents me – 7 likes or 300. It doesn’t matter.
#4 Meet people. Yes, I do get those random ‘frandship requests’, but largely, I have met a whole bunch of exceptional folks whom I have had the privilege to learn from.
#5 Build Credibility, Community and Connections. There is always something new to learn each day.
