Dear Wonderful Woman & Allies,

Happy Tuesday! 🙌🏾🎉

How are you doing? I'm good thanks! 😃😃😃

I did just make up JOBP! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Joy of Being at Peace! ☮️🧘🏾‍♀️☮️🧘🏾‍♀️☮️🧘🏾‍♀️☮️🧘🏾‍♀️🥰☮️🧘🏾‍♀️🥰☮️🧘🏾‍♀️🥰☮️🧘🏾‍♀️🥰☮️🧘🏾‍♀️🥰

I cannot tell you how much JOBP I have for not having gone to the Black Business Show and even though my feed is very well populated with accounts of what went down, I have no FOMO at all!

This to me is totally awesome!

Today, I am happy to report I did spend a good chunk of yesterday preparing to write my LinkedIn Signature talk.

I watched my speech writing coach, Nick Demo's workshop and to my surprise and delight, I got a shoutout as a recent client in relation to my CASH framework for LinkedIn success. 😍💃🏾🎉😍💃🏾🎉😍💃🏾🎉😍💃🏾🎉😍💃🏾🎉😍💃🏾🎉😍💃🏾🎉😍💃🏾🎉😍💃🏾🎉😍💃🏾🎉😍💃🏾🎉😍💃🏾🎉😍💃🏾🎉😍💃🏾🎉😍💃🏾🎉😍💃🏾🎉😍💃🏾🎉😍💃🏾🎉😍

It's actually something he prompted me to create for a panel I was asked to speak on earlier this year.

And no the framework isn't just about money! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I had to make a conscious decision to stop work on my book and decide to work on my signature in talk instead. This is because I can produce a draft of a talk faster than I can a draft of a book. The book is still coming! 📘📘📘📘📘

I know I want to wake up on 31st December knowing I have written this talk. So far so good, on making this be a reality for me. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

How about you?

Have you gotten intentional about what you want to achieve with what's left of the year?

The year is far from over, however, you need to consider:

Your bandwidth

What you really want

What you need to do NOW to make that happen

It does take stepping up with intention and doing this differently.

I've also been leaning into my power!

Yesterday I decided that it's time I bring it a bit more, with how I representing and what I'm offering in the marketplace.

The mentors that I learn from in the business world, their advice and their copy is hitting differently because I have elevated my own mindset and thinking.

Yesterday, I just decided to put out this post and offer. HERE

In the past I would have:

Asked my business mentor if I should do this

Would have taken 2 weeks to put this out

Would have wondered if I was really all that, leaned into imposter syndrome

Held myself back

Overthought it

There is something about when you realise that you:

Are the prize as my business coach and mentor says. You are great! You're Awesome! When you own that the magic happens! You have a different way of being.

Are you really paying attention to what's working for you?

Or are dismissing it because you haven't achieved your bigger goal....

And I think that it's good to really think about:

What is working? 😍

Where am I winning? 🎉

How can I use this to move forward with my biggest goal? 🎯

I want to take this opportunity to remind you that:

Acknowledging what is going well and right can help you to amplify this in areas where you're not quite there yet.

So today I offer you 3 questions to consider how you to serve you finishing 2024 Strong! Check out the questions below:

1 What are my results now and am I lying to myself about how I am really doing?

2 If I put down my armour and stepped into my discomfort, what would I focus on or get help with?

3 Who can give me the honest feedback, that I need to make a breakthrough?

By the same token putting yourself out there on LinkedIn and being more visible on LinkedIn is a risk and is about listening to feedback about what's working and what isn't!

Many think it's a chore and it's not something they do with open arms, joy or any sort of enjoyment.

Well what if you changed the narrative to:

I get to use LinkedIn to further my visibility, to create opportunities for me, for the people and things I care about.

When you think about LinkedIn through the lens of the realm of possibilities, it creates space to be open to attract, to be your best self and to receive what is out there when you're in alignment.

Now that is sounding perhaps a bit woowoo, but then if "you are what you think, do and don't".

It's in the don't....

The fear.....

The lack space.....

That self-doubt & Imposter Syndrome live.

So with the opportunity of the last quarter of the year, I urge you to think about these 3 questions:

1 Would If continue this if I wasn't afraid to fail?

2 Am I being true to myself and am I playing big enough?

3 What story is it time to ditch?

If you want to level up your personal brand, and visibility, to attract paid opportunities via your LinkedIn profile, I'd be delighted to help with you that.
