Lara Acosta

20 months ago, I stopped drinking alcohol.

Diet Coke and lemon for me, or kombucha if I’m feeling adventurous.

And no:

- Sobriety doesn’t make me “boring”
- I’m not going to “just have one”
- I don’t owe you an explanation

GenZ drinks 20% less alcohol than millennials did at the same age.

And I can certainly see why…

Alcohol never brought anything positive to my life.

In fact, since I stopped drinking:

- I started freelancing
- I 3x’d my monthly income
- I started building my team
- I get invited to events and podcasts
- I started building an online business
- I went all in on LinkedIn content creation
- I hired coaches and mentors ahead of me

Coincidence? Nah.

My life started improving the minute I stopped drinking.

And 20 months later, I’ve never been clearer on my reasons to never get sucked into the drinking culture again.

So if someone asks me why I don’t drink?

I say: “Why do you?”

How to thrive as a female entrepreneur:

Remove the ‘female’.

You’re an entrepreneur.

You’re a founder.

You’re a CEO.

Stop boxing yourself in with gendered phrases.

Your obsession with them is preventing you from getting the things you want.

Stop limiting your potential.

Love, Lara - the entrepreneur.

2022: Started posting on LinkedIn making $300/mo.
2025: Building a $1M+ business using LinkedIn.

Here's the formula I used to make this happen in <3 yrs

(Repost ♻️ for more in-depth and short biz breakdowns)

My formula: Content → distribution → positioning

Content is what brings you attention.
Distribution is what amplifies it.
Positioning is built networking.

The realistic step by step for you to copy:

1. Post 3 educational and 2 storytelling posts weekly.
2. Engage with 20/30 people every single day to grow.
3. Use your content to network with those ahead of you.
4. Turn your content into sales via social proof from 1-3.

It's simple but it worked. But here's my trick...

The reason this happened to me overnight wasn't just because of my virality, it was because of my distribution.

The content was outstanding, which is a non-negotiable.

It's what got me into Forbes and big podcasts.
Which gave me distribution and leverage.

Positioned me from creator to validated entrepreneur.

This is the step most people miss.

Look, all these 'sales' experts are telling you to sell 24/7.
But my personal brand is strong because I don't.

I do it on the back end or in seasons. Launches + emails.

This is the secret hack I used to maintain my positioning.
And how we've built a $1M business of the back of that.

3 years seems quick, but I've sacrificed a lot to get here.

Hope this helps you to stop overthinking your success.
I believe in you, thanks for believing in me.

Check out the full breakdown we did here: https://lnkd.in/eswhBBhD

Repost ♻️ if you want me to send you my full launch strategy that got us here.

LinkedIn has changed (and small creators are winning)

You don't need to be an 'expert' to stand out.
You don't need to have 1000s of followers go viral.
You don't need to create boring content to get clients.

Welcome to the 'golden' era of LinkedIn.

Because it's still early.
Out of the 1B users only 1% post weekly.

Low supply, high demand.

And if you know 1 thing better than 99% of people.

You will win.

1. Use LinkedIn video to get more impressions.
↳ Full breakdown here: https://lnkd.in/eYAgdUZy

2. Storytell every single week to build your brand
↳ Use the SLAY framework to write faster

3. Post educational breakdowns 2x a week
↳ Show the pain, why it needs fixing and your solution

And always, and I mean always use visual elements.

Photos, videos, infographics or carousels. They all work.
Use the one that works best for you. Not anyone else.

LinkedIn's golden era isn't just about video.

It's the opportunity of it being so underrated.

No more job applications, start conversations instead.

Repost this ♻️ if you want more breakdowns like this!

P.S. I'm doing my first-ever black Friday offer... who's excited?

I built a personal brand 240k+ people want to follow.

(Here's the easiest way to stand out in 2025).

2 years ago, I was a nobody. 0 industry connections.

Thought I needed to have 20+ yrs of experience to grow.
Thought I needed to have a Forbes 30u30 title to grow.
Thought I needed to be traveling the world to grow.

But I only needed one thing: become worth reading.

Started a business, shared the hard-learned lessons.
Doubled down on self-education, wrote the best tips.
Went to networking events, shared my experience.

When you do this, people pay attention.

Because you're no longer regurgitating old information.
You start making it your own through your experience.

Look, anyone can google a “How To”.
You’re the only one that can make a “How I”

When it's you vs. Google, make sure you win!

Want to learn how to blow up your LinkedIn?

I posted a 10-minute tutorial on how: https://lnkd.in/eaHcehuf

Repost ♻️ this to get everyone to go all in on LinkedIn.

I built a $1M+ ARR business with these non-negotiables.

 1. I reject ideas, I want proof and action.
 2. I don't buy into "thinking big". Small wins first.
 3. I don't "just do it" - I prepare, I study and practice.
 4. I don't network, I build few but deep connections.
 5. I don't "try" I go in for the win - time is irrelevant.
 6. I must walk at least 10,000 steps a day, minimum.
 7. I will compliment someone at least once a week.
 8. I'll strike a conversation with a stranger when I can.
 9. I must send an email once a week.
10. I must write every single day.

A slightly unconventional list. But highly effective.

These 10 habits have built me as an entrepreneur.
And rejecting everything that isn't... grew me.

Be all in on rejecting what doesn't serve you.

Stop trying to please everyone.
Please your future self instead.

PS: What is your 1 non-negotiable? I want to see!

I flew 2,000 miles to meet a community member.

(Hand delivered a $1,000 payout to him too).

When I met Harry, he was still in his 9-5.
Fast forward to today, he runs his own agency.

365 days, 411 linkedin posts and 10+ clients made.

Harry went all in on his personal brand.
And it started with Literally LinkedIn (LA now).

1. In our first 8 weeks he found his unfair advantage
2. The next 6 months he found his own business model
3. A year later he scaled that up to $30k+

Hired his brother, has location and time freedom.

But to me most importantly? He's happy.

Money is great but purpose is always better.
And building a personal brand allows you to find it.

Grateful to have met Harry and be part of this journey.

Your LinkedIn profile is 10x more powerful than your CV

But most people overcomplicate optimizing it.

So I recorded a 76-second profile masterclass for you.

Because no one should spend 1 month fixing theirs.

If you're finding it hard to change your profile...

1. Make sure your headshot is high quality
2. Rewrite your headline and be specific
3. Update your banner (quickly)

Watch the video for in-depth examples.
I even showed my first 2 banners I used.

(They landed me my dream clients..,)

♻️ Repost this video and i'll send you a FREE Linkedin Optimisation Playbook (100 people only).

My first post went viral, but I almost didn't post it.

I felt insecure, didn't feel 'qualified' enough.
I was skeptical about LinkedIn working for me.

But in May 2022, I pressed post.

24hrs later the post had 4k likes.
Gained thousands of followers too.
Made my first $10,000 a few months later.

My biggest insecurity became my biggest asset.

The thing holding you back isn't skill my friend. It's fear.

Your fear of being seen.
Your fear of being imperfect.
Your fear of being an expert.

But that is your biggest asset.

Perfection is overrated, connection isn't.

This is your reminder to post that post in your drafts.

There's thousands of dollars stored in them.

Love, Lara.

If you want to start making 6-figures from LinkedIn and having me teach you exactly how I did it without sending a single DM... Check out my new monetisation programme  https://lnkd.in/e2Br4TTK

I just mapped out your next 365 days of LinkedIn growth:

(Save this so you can use it later)

If you want to:

Grow by +50k every year.
Make at least $100,000 from LinkedIn.
Become an authority in your space.

Follow this simple strategy for the next 365 days.

Your commitments:

1. At least 3x posts a week
2. Commenting for 60 mins a day
3. Commiting to consistent outstanding content.

The strategy:

1. Find trending topics you can use for your brand
2. Reverse-engineer viral content on your feed
3. Create versions of it for the first 3 months
4. Take the best 10-15 performing ones
5. Recreate that for every new post

The growth accelerator method:

1. Use any social proof you have in 80% of your posts.
↳ “After working with fortune 500 companies...“
↳ “I've built a $5k/mo business doing this...“
↳ “I just had a call with my dream client...“

This is how you build authority faster.

2. Have a signature style for your content:
↳ Could be posting photos of you in the same place
↳ Could be carousels with the same cover every time.
↳ Could be a twitter screenshot with a polarsing hook.

You want people to know it's you before reading your name on their feed. Repetition = memorability.


3. Algorithm proofing and content fly-wheel:
↳ You have a style of content that works.
↳ People know you before reading your name
↳ You repeat that format every week

For me it's storytelling and twitter screenshot style posts with a broad lesson. Been doing this for 3 years.

Bonus hack: Use trend-jacking to boost your followers.

Find the viral topics across content and implement it into your content immediately.

AI agents just came out? Talk about how you can implement them into your niche.

Nike just released a new marketing stunt? Talk about how you'd do the same for your business.

The algorithm is crazy? Talk about how you're going to beat it this 2025.

This sounds simple, and it is.

Stick to this for 365 days and watch your life change.

This is the ultimate blueprint, but only a few will follow it.

How I hacked my way into the top 1%

(This simple tip changed my life)

Turn your life into a video game.

- Choose your character
- Stack high ROI skills
- Collect knowledge
- Build your network
- Learn the rules
- Start winning
- Level up

Build momentum through gamification.

Create a character that can win.

You’ll only lose if you quit.

P.S. Repost this to help someone level up 👾♻️

I'm one of the fastest-growing LinkedIn creators in 2024.

But in 2022, I was 'just another face'. Here's the secret.

The 'Monk Mode' Protocol.

See, everyone wants to be successful.
But only few do whatever it takes to get there.

In 2022, I deleted all social media including Linkedin.

I committed to reading 52 books in 52 weeks.
I started 4+ new 'businesses' that failed, miserably.

But I didn't quit. Every new 'try' taught me a new skill.

The failures gave me a purpose to start winning.

My advice to anyone who wants to try this?

Obsess and learn to write - practice daily. Here's how:

1. Send 10 outbound emails every single day.
2. Re-write your 'offer' until you get a reply.
3. Stack skills. Sales, writing, growth... etc!

It's boring, but those 3 actions made me 6-figures.

You don't lack talent, you lack focus.

Just crossed 100,000 on LinkedIn.

2 years ago, I had 0 followers, 0 connection, 0 posts.

Over the last several months I've:

- Grown an audience of amazing people
- Built my entire first business on LinkedIn
- Made it into Forbes, saw my dreams come true

But I didn't do it alone.

Out of the many perks of building personal brand...
My network will always be the greatest one.

Today, I want to celebrate the 11 people that made all of this happen for me.

Charles: The best writing account, a true elite marketer
Shoaib: The first ever person on my swipe file, grateful
Jake: Sprints, reverse engineering and content genius
Jasmin Alić : The greatest marketer of all time, period
Izzy Prior: Took me under her wing as a newbie on LI
Matt Barker: Taught me the 101 of writing and humor
Sophie: Showed me how to actually authentic online
Richard Moore : Simplified sales and mentored me
Luke Matthews: Inspired me to tell my story, often
Ruben: Showed me that there are no limits online
Tasleem: Been supporting me from literal day 1!!

I came to LinkedIn for the limitless possibilities.
But I stayed because of its community.

Damn, I'm lucky and so are you. Here's a gift:

I filmed a 60 minute networking masterclass, it has all the secrets I used to build my dream network.

Comment + repost if you want to win (deadline 19/12).

Networking changed my life, lets change yours.

PS ♻️ REPOST if you love any of the people on this list..

I don't celebrate my success. Haven't for a while.

It reminds me of all the friends I lost.

Or the reminder of how quiet my friends became when I shared my success with them. The silence was loud.

Turns out people love cheering for the underdog.
Until they start winning.

Thing is, I've always clapped the loudest.

Even when I was broke.
Even when I was unemployed.
Even when I was slighly jealous.

I always knew there was space for me at the top.

So I stopped sharing my wins.

Because instead of congratulations, I get:

You got lucky.
You're a pretty girl, it's easy.
You probably cheated the algorithm.

Built privately instead. Shared updates with a few.

Grew without the praise. Learnt to expect none.
In 3 years I've built something that could take 10.

Sometimes I wish i had more people to share it with.

But I'm thankful to the strangers on the internet who cheer loud for me when others don't.

Thank you.

And to the entrepreneur who feel like this...

Don't let it stop you. Let it drive you.

Because if you stop, the win.

I believe in you.

Love, Lara

A powerful lesson I learned from my mum.

1. “Shut up and do the work”

LinkedIn wins on announcement culture. But at home?

We thrive on QUIET culture 😂

Look, I've been b̶u̶i̶l̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶announcing in public over the last 5 years. The “coming soon stay tuned..“ type.

Turns out, the more I announced the less I took action.

So this year, I:

1. Put my head down
2. Kept quiet, listened and observed
3. Had goals and only shared them with mentors
4. Stopped sharing my plans, started showing my wins

Announcing what I wanted to do felt nice.
Hearing the “I'm proud of you for doing it“ feels nicer.

So to my mum, thank you for calling me out on my BS.
Turns out your motherly wisdom helped me grow fast.

And to whoever is reading this:

Stop competing against others; compete against yourself. When it's you vs you, you'll always win!

PS: Have you posted a “so happy to announce that...“ post on LinkedIn?

The best piece of business advice you'll hear today:

(If you're feeling lost on LinkedIn, read this)

Most entrepreneurs don't need to do more.
They actually need to do less. I know I did.

I found 1 thing that worked, and left it behind.

And most entrepreneurs also fall into this trap.

Where 1 good thing isn't enough as an entrepreneur.

You hear that you should hire and delegate.
You hear that you should scale fast and sell.
You hear that you need to try this 'new' model.

But you don't. You just need the 1 thing that works.

So to any entrepreneur feeling lost:

Just know everyone else also is - the key is building 1 thing that drives you. Success and money will come.

Love: someone who's going back to her 1 thing.

I posted my first LinkedIn post 3 years ago.

It went viral and it changed my life forever.
But I nearly didn't post it. I'd avoided it for months.

So, I clicked post. Shut my laptop. Went to the gym.

24hrs later the post had 2k likes and 100k impressions.
Today it is still one of my most viral posts.

And a constant reminder to just go for it.

Without a perfect picture or a perfect hook.
Without a crazy rich network or $10M business.

Because if you never try, you'll never know.

To celebrate my LinkedIn birthday, I want to thank you.

If you've been here since that post.
If you've been here during the agency times.
If you just got here and have no idea who I am.

Thank you for giving me your time anyway.

I'll save my re-introduction post for another day.
But... I want to challenge you to do one.

(I'm giving away $1,000 to 1 person who nails it).

To enter this challenge follow these rules:

1. Re-introduce yourself using proven formats
2. Like and repost this post so I know you're in
3. Use a good photo so it performs well
4. Tag me in the comments so I see it

My intro post changed my life, I hope it changes yours.

Closing entry June 1st. Good luck.

I've deliberately stopped focusing on follower growth.

LinkedIn has changed (to benefit small creators).

Here's the 1 unbeatable hack you need to use:

Focus on positioning content over viral content.
Make yourself be seen as the authority in the space.

1. Post case study carousels to attract clients.

They show competence, especially if the carousel is high quality. Look at people like me or Jake Ward.

2. Post photos of you speaking to signal authority.

Your ideal clients and followers need a reason beyond your words to trust you. Photos 'doing the thing' work.

3. Get yourself featured wherever you can.

Official publications whether its Forbes or niche websites like Favikon, Semrush and so on matter.

Stack 1 by 1 until you are able to get the bigger well known ones and stack them all as proof.

Bonus: Go to in person events. Build a community offline. It is beyond important for people to see you.

I used to travel 6hrs to be at these, its paid off. A lot.

Don't focus on follower growth, focus on visibility.
Be everywhere. Or at least, try.

P.S. I've applied every single one have you seen?

Repost ♻️ this for others to win too!

My 3-Step ChatGPT prompt is making people go viral.

(without spending hours writing or hiring an agency)

Building a personal brand is easier than ever.

And to prove it, I created a prompt designed to write like your favorite creator to save you 100s of hours writing!

Copy and paste this prompt onto ChatGPT:

“Using this first hook [insert a viral hook]
Write me a LinkedIn post that is 500 characters long.
Keep sentences short, concise and 8 words long.
Switch up the formatting so it's easy to read.
Make sure the post has a bulleted list in it.
Please no hashtags.

Use the following 3 posts as inspiration, but do not use any of the topics from these posts to create the new post I've asked you to write:

[insert 3 of popular posts that you like the look of]“
____

This is prompt 1/3. But the rest wont fit on this post.

Master AI before it masters you.

♻️ Repost this and I'll reveal the 1 tool that makes this even easier (and its free).

People suck at social media (me included)

Here's the 1 secret tip I used to grow fast anyways.

Focus on the context of the platform, not just content.

“Give value“ is terrible advice not because it's wrong.
But because it means something different everywhere.

Let me explain ↓

- LinkedIn is serious, actionable and resourceful.
- Twitter is actionable, entertaining, and concise. 
- Newsletter is in-depth, personal, and relaxed.

The key is knowing how to adapt for each social.

Here's how:

1. Find what works on one platform
↳ LinkedIn carousels and images grow you faster

2. Learn to consistently create high-performing posts
↳ This works as proof of concept and hook validation

3. Leverage the context of each platform
↳ All platforms have their own language, learn it

4. Re-purpose but adapting to the platform
↳ My YouTube scripts are Linkedin post adaptations

You don't need to post 15x a day to grow across.

All you need is to know what to post instead.

Hack growth by having 1 message.
Then, re-distributing it according to the context.

It's never been easier to grow online.

PS: What platform is your favorite? Linkedin, Youtube?

I use this 4-Step Framework to write viral LinkedIn posts.

(save this to grow your personal brand fast)

Ladies and gentlemen: The SLAY Framework.

1. Story: Give your personal insight to start
2. Lesson: Tell them exactly what the problem is
3. Actionable advice: Get straight to the point (use lists)
4. You: Talk straight to your reader, make it about them

Science shows people remember stories more.
But only the ones that resonate with them.

Data shows that users on LinkedIn want to learn.
But you need to make it easy for them.

Tell your story →  make them remember you.
Share a lesson →  so they 100% know you can help.
Deliver actionable advice →  they can apply immediately.
Turn it back to them using “you“ → Talk-to-them.

Building a personal brand is about your unique story.

Make it easy for people to connect and learn from you.

Watch me use this live here: https://lnkd.in/gxPGY5nc

P.S. REPOST ♻️ and help 1000s SLAY their brand too!

I deleted my LinkedIn account.

Here's the playbook I used (updated for 2025).

Back in 2022 I decided to start from scratch.
My connections were dead. My account felt stuck.

So I started fresh and built a 260k+ follower personal brand as fast as I could. Here's how I'd do it again.

1. Use the 'Ace Card' Method to position yourself as a 'leader' without feeling cringe or fake (it works).

→ List every single client win you've had.
→ List every single achievement you have.
→ List every single 'transformation' you have.

This will be our new vault for non-generic content.

2. Master pattern engineering to shortcut your writing process. Realize that out of 100 viral posts, they all follow the exact 5 frameworks

→ Go to creators with viral posts.
→ Save their best-performing posts of that week.
→ Repeat with 10-15 of them and read the hooks.

Find the outlier formula that makes you like the post.

Replicate it with your 'ace cards'.

3. High leverage networking  > commenting for hours. Yep I said it, I wouldn't spend 10 hours engaging.

When you figure out your 'ace cards' and how to create content around them, you position yourself as a leader.

You attract other high-performing accounts because they see your potential even when you don't.

If you talk about being featured in Forbes.
If you talk about making your parents proud.
If you talk about your ambitions as an entrepreneur.

The best accounts will come, but only if....
You make yourself seen.

Connect with top accounts. Connect with their connections.
Find your way into their circle, slowly but surely.

4. Stop acting like a beginner. Act like an expert and you'll become one and seen as one. Don't wait, please.

Most creators give themselves “time“ to get good.
But in my opinion, it's an excuse to not fail.

Make the infographic. Make the carousel. Book a shoot so your Linkedin photos look better than your old photos

This is what matters the most.

Give yourself permission to be seen.

I'm running out of space, but I'll leave some bonus tips in the comments.

Btw I've given the entire playbook out inside my private mentorship Literally Academy (1k+ members inside) Join here:  https://lnkd.in/e4RKsGx9

Everyone says that LinkedIn changed their life

But this one thing leveled up mine completely.

→ Building a personal brand

In 2021:

• Posting on every platform
• No idea what I wanted to be known for
• Little structure and no network to push me

In 2022:

• Committed to Linkedin only
• Focused on building the “Lara“ brand
• Learned to write and network with the best

Here’s exactly what I did:

1. Focus on LinkedIn only
2. Learn how to write well on the platform
3. Understand psychology and how to leverage it
4. Network like crazy every single day via DM
5. Focus on building your story live
6. Just send it, post it, GO!

People who are winning aren't better than you.
They just believed in themselves more.

There's space for all of us to win here, we're early.

Watch my first 10min breakdown here: https://lnkd.in/em2C6qNY

The biggest mistake I made as a GeZ entrepreneur:

Trying to look like an entrepreneur, instead of being one.

Spent time “working“ at nice cafes (for a photo)
Went to networking events to “network“ (I didn't)

I needed to do the work instead.

The less I tried, the more I became.

GenZ's are stuck in this validation rabbit hole.

The urgent need to announce our wins.
The race to see who looks the “best“

To become a “real“ entrepreneur, I did this instead:

1.⁠ ⁠Focused on one goal
2.⁠ ⁠Reverse-engineered my ideal life
3.⁠ ⁠Wrote on LinkedIn about what I learned
4.⁠ ⁠Lazer-focused on getting clients (and executing)

Stop focusing on looking cool and trendy.
Start focusing on building experience instead.

I've documented the journey on LinkedIn from day 1.

And now i'm doing it on Youtube too.

Watch here: https://lnkd.in/ePmtkSa8

They laughed at me, now they celebrate me.

I've shared my bullying story before...

Mocked for being different.
Tied up to poles and left alone.
Harassed because of my hair and skin color.

But what I don't share is how those bullies over time have become my fans over the last few years. Funny lol.

I see some of them copying my content (in spanish).
I see many of them stalking me on social media often.

And my favorite? The teachers who told me to quit now use me as an example of success back at school.

Here's your reminder that:

First they laugh, then they copy.

Don't hide yourself.

I've been keeping a secret from you.

And I've been asked by some of you to talk about it.

See, LinkedIn is the best place to build a personal brand.

There's low supply of high-quality content.
And an increasing demand for it.

You can build a business from it without a website.
You can make $10,000 without taking sales calls.
You get to network with the top 0.1% daily.

All by committing to posting on the platform weekly.

I'm proof of it's potential, and many of you are too.

But I've been secretly planning the next step of my personal branding strategy so I can also teach you soon.

I'm going all in on Instagram now.

As I move onto the next-stage of online entrepreneurship it became the obvious choice.

Showcasing a less polished, and more honest side.
Giving people the real behind-the-scenes of my days.

And sharing there first what I'm doing in business.

This has always been the long-term vision.

Dominate one platform, master them all.

LinkedIn has been a 3 year training camp on marketing.

Learned writing, and now I can script 'viral' reels.
Learned positioning, and now I get to speal on stage.
Learned monetisation, and now I run 3 businesses.

I'm sharing content never seen before on LinkedIn.

Raw, honest and new (even for me).

Business, mindset and the behind the scenes.

Follow me there and drop me a message - I'll say hello!

PS: Repost if you want my new viral video blueprint!

Stop promoting yourself, it looks desperate.

You should just be giving value.

Focus on growing your following first.

These are all the things I told myself 2 years ago.
And what I would hear from branding 'experts' too.

Then I promoted my first-ever offer publicly.

I thought that'd be it for me - my brand was done.

5 days later, I made $75k+ during that launch.

I had leads coming to me enquiring about my other offers and working with me privately.

Promoting myself publicly multiplied my reputation.

That's what a 'strong' personal brand should do for you.

Accelerate your visibility and position your brand.

Your content does the heavy lifting.
But it's on you to monetise it.

Today I'm showing you exactly how.

Join me and a special guest today at 11am EST for a free monetisation masterclass.

I've been rejected over 200+ times, I felt unqualified.

But this 1 thing changed my entire career:

One simple story on Linkedin. My first viral post.

4,000 likes and 300,000 impressions later...

I realized I wasn't 'unqualified'.
I was looking for opportunities in the wrong place.

3 months later, I found my dream job. Working for me.

To anyone looking to build a personal brand:

Focus on your story first.

Tell people why you started and what you do.
Share your 'story' and who you are.

Educate them using you as the vehicle.

Don't tell people “how to“
Tell them “how I“

Boom 🫳🏼🎤

2 years ago, I struggled with crippling self doubt.

Then, I came across Alex Hormozi. Here's what happened since...

• Spoken on international stages without a stutter.
• Been featured in Forbes 4x times before turning 27.
• Built a 7-figure business from my uni dorm room.

But most importantly, made my family proud.

Hormozi showed me that when in doubt, I needed to double down not back down. So I built a protocol.

Whenever I felt self-doubt, I'd:

1. Understand where it's coming from
2. Prove to myself that thought is wrong
3. Do a hard thing that day to build momentum
4. Outwork everyone in whatever capacity I could
5. Repeat until self-doubt isn't even a thought

This is built after his famous quote

“You don’t become confident by shouting affirmations in the mirror, but by having a stack of undeniable proof that you are who you say you are“

Because when you believe in yourself and have proof.

No one can break you. Not even your own thoughts.

Shoutout to Alex (and leila too) for inspiring GenZs worldwide to not settle for an average life.

PS: Tag the 1 person who inspires you ❤️

I couldn't find an assistant, so I built one.

(Here's how I did it in 10 minutes using AI)

I didn't just want it to skim my emails.
Or write generic responses to emails I'd ignore.

I wanted it to become a mini-strategist.

And now it can turn emails into bite-sized ideas.

1. I gave ChatGPT this prompt:

I am using Lovable AI and Supabase (for backend) to build a simple and easy to use Web App. I have never done any coding before. I am a non-technical person here's my app idea [insert your idea].

2. Asked it to give me a prompt to feed onto lovable
3. Logged onto lovable and pasted the prompt
4. Gave it the data it needs to function

Done. My own custom ai assistant website/app.

Reads my emails.
Helps me stay focused.

This is literally a dream come true.

Last week I met Iman Gadzhi, spoke at London Tech Week, and became a co-founder and investor.

But the week prior to that, I felt like an imposter.

This is entrepreneurship in a nutshell.

Nothing happens, then everything happens.

Met Iman on Monday, talked about scaling my business.
Secured the MVP for the new business on Tuesday,
Tech Week on Wednesday, spoke with industry legends.
Flew to Barcelona on Thursday for a mastermind.
Invested in a series A round (my first one!)

It's been a long-term goal to pivot out of just 'personal branding' and talk overall business and growth.

Slowly building up my credentials.
Stacking evidence and proof.
Gaining new skills.

And I'll be talking about business more, not just content.

So all this to say, thank you for being part of this journey.

For first time ever I finally feel like I'm becoming an entrepreneur. Not just a creator.

It's taken me 3 long years to finaly settle.
And to stop doubting myself.

No 'education' today - just incredibly grateful.

I don't believe in work-life balance as an entrepreneur.
I believe in seasons of deep work and deep rest.

To become a high performer, you should do both.

Months of deep focus on a project.
Weeks of deep rest to re-focus.

After building a successful career, here's how I do it:

1. Make your business (and purpose) your focus
2. Set a 60-90-day ambitious goal for it
3. Have 3x90 minute work blocks daily

Focus on that only for the next 3 months.

No distractions. No multi-tasking...

Just good ideas and immediate execution.

It's simple, but 99% of people don't do it.
It's obsessive, but all athletes do it.

So why not entrepreneurs?

Immerse yourself in your craft.

Do it for 6 weeks, watch your life change completely.

PS: If you're ready to take 6 weeks seriously and deep focus with me... I've got something for you.

Launching 05.05.25:  https://lnkd.in/eC_ds6Pn

I've spent $20,000 in mentorship this year.

But even when I had $500 in the bank, I spent $300.

The result?

1. Building a multi-6-figure business in < 2 years
2. Growing my own personal brand in record time
3. Learning how to market, write and sell like a pro
4. Access to a network that skyrocketed my growth
5. Avoiding dumb mistakes, as I learnt what not to do
6. Ranking no.1 in business, university and even sport
7. Making online money and winning with online friends

Sometimes you need to put your own skin in the game.
Show yourself that you're “all in“ and can't back out.

“Tactical anxiety“ as some of my good friends call it.

Free information is great, but the community, support, and accountability mentorship can give you?

Unmatched. No better way to fast track your success.

- Build your dream network.
- Get your dream clients.
- Get your dream results.

So, my friend - are you all in on yourself?

See you inside.

In March I made $34k in 5 days.

Here's exactly how I did it:

1. Found 1 simple problem I could fix (writing)
2. Mapped out exactly how to fix it (strategy)
3. Systematised the process (to make it simple)
4. Filmed a mini course alongside it (quality)
5. Mapped out a 5 day launch plan (for FOMO)
6. Targeted pain points my audience has (USP)
7. Showed the results people have gotten (social proof)
8. Made the offer 'irresistible' (only $99)

Took us 7 days to go from idea to execution.

That speed led us to $34k and a near record month in combined sales from our other products and programmes.

Monetising your knowledge has never been easier.

Stop seeing it as selling courses. Sell knowledge instead.
