I just discovered how to stop getting rejection emails when you apply for LinkedIn jobs. I actually thought it was impossible. 😩One of my connections got her first 6 figure job with google last week by knowing exactly what I will be telling you right now.


So many people here have just one resume which they submit for every single job and you may wonder why you keep receiving rejection emails even when a professional wrote those resumes for them.

🌹No two jobs are the same. For every new job application, you need a new resume that has everything the job requires.


🌹Most times, depending on the company, your resume goes into a recruiting computer system which scans for keywords contained in the job description first before it gets to a human recruiter. And I don’t mean stuffing your resume with keywords.

The recruiter isn’t going to see it first. The computer sees it first. This simply means that it can be automated to bring up the most relevant first meant to ease the stress of manually doing it by the recruiter. It makes their work easier and more seemless.

This simply means that you may have blown your chances multiple times by submitting resumes with no keywords and your application ended up not getting to the consideration stage.


🌹Upskill! Add more skills to your already existing ones so you can have more advantage over the other applicants and make sure you’re good at what you do. Don’t you ever lie in your resume.


🌹Try your best. Not getting a job from LinkedIn isn’t always because you’re doing something wrong. The hiring team may just be looking for something else entirely

Did you learn something new?

Happy Saturday beautiful people ❤️

I got 5,000 new followers and 7 new international job offers in the past 24hrs😱😱😱


If you are already a follower, you would notice that I had less than 26k followers yesterday. 😱

Words fail me daily on this app. You don't even want to know how much. I was practically everywhere on LinkedIn yesterday & I was wondering what the issue was. I got over 300 mentions, people celebrating me as their woman crush and talking about how I have inspired them in one way or the others😭😭

I checked the calendar to make sure it wasn't my birthday.


My students, mentees and clients mentioned me in their posts as well celebrating one financial & self-development milestone or the other that I have helped them cross one way or the other & I just kept screaming.

I impacted lives this much?
Thank you everyone. I am humbled.

In a bid to say thank you for yesterday, I will be keeping an eye out on your profiles, before the end of next week, I would send private messages to certain people (especially UI/Ux designers & software developers) for the tasks ahead. We will be needing more hands on that to join us at the agency Branding Den because of the new job offers which has less than 5 months timelines each.

We need all hands on deck.
So, if you fall under those skillset, kindly update your “Featured Sections” on your profile with links to your portfolio & I will reach out for an interview.

Please don't send a DM. Your messages will be lost in a pool of others (I have more than 1k+ messages to return🥺). I only have to search for that job description and filter by connections & I will find you.

Until then, I love you from the depth of my heart 🌺❤️❤️

3yrs ago, I left my home country with nothing but a backpack and a wild idea—now I run a global business from my laptop.


Didn’t have a plan, just a burning desire for something more.


___________________________________________


I was stuck in the daily grind, feeling unfulfilled and restless. So, I took a leap of faith:

• Hopped on a plane to a new place
• Soaked myself in new experiences.
• Started freelancing to fund my travels.
• Turned that freelancing into a full-fledged business.


___________________________________________


Along the way, I learned how to align my work with the life I wanted & I learned living life comes first.

Now, I help others do the same by crafting personalized business strategies & roadmaps that actually work. Showing you how to do Soft-Entrepreneurship, but better. Showing you how to work smarter not harder.


___________________________________________


Here are some things I discovered:

• You just have to take risks
• Your office can be anywhere with Wi-Fi.
• Working smarter beats working longer hours.
• Having the right strategy will get you to your goals faster.
• Networking & Building genuine connections opens unexpected doors.


___________________________________________



You don’t need all the answers to start. Just take the first step, no matter how small.


Looking back, taking that leap was the best decision I ever made & I would do it over and over again.


___________________________________________


What is the craziest risk you've ever taken in business?

PS: my coming section is my real time lifestyle vlog for today

If you’re wondering if LinkedIn is worth a shot, I am here to tell you that it is. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

It’s been less than a year here since I decided to be consistent on LinkedIn and I can’t tell you enough how it has changed my life and career.

🌺Gotten a few awards
🌺Featured in a few publications
🌺Became a digital nomad
🌺Built a branding agency, where I lead a team of other creatives to help brands achieve their branding and marketing goals.
🌺Became an African tech founder. An AI-success suit for freelancers and creatives.

I Bought The Same Dress For $15, $60, and $230 three different times.



So here's a story that might just make you look at the way you sell your products or services in a whole new light. I stumbled upon this cute dress for $15 on instagram. It was one of those finds that make you feel like you've hit the jackpot. Fast forward a bit, and I see the same dress for $60 on a popular online fashion site.


The website was slick, the dress was modeled beautifully, and it had something about it that makes you want to try it out. And guess what? I bought it again. Why? Maybe it was the way it was presented, or maybe I just wanted to see if there was any difference buying it from a “better“ place.



____________________________________________



But then, things got even more interesting. I found the exact same dress being sold for $230 at a high-end online store in Spain. This time, the dress was being worn by celebrities in ads on red carpet and had all this fancy branding around it. The website looked like a million bucks, and the dress was positioned as this must-have item for the season. It also came in an elite packaging box. And yes, I bought it. Again.




____________________________________________


You're probably wondering,
“Why buy the same dress three times?“

Here's the thing: I was fascinated by how perception changes with price and branding. The $15 dress was a steal, and finding it felt like uncovering a hidden gem. When I saw it for $60, the beautiful presentation on the website and the allure of being part of the exclusive offer as well as their many offerings and free Ad-ons made me ignore the price.



____________________________________________


And at $230, with celebrities endorsing it and all that luxury branding, it felt like I was buying into an exclusive club. Plus I had to walk in the store and the experience was heavenly. The ambience, the customer service, the refreshment while I waited for my dress to be properly packed, among many other things.
The shopping was more enjoyable and made me feel valued and pampered.


____________________________________________

Each purchase felt different, not because of the dress itself (it was the same dress, after all) but because of where I found it and how it was marketed to me. The high-end version didn't feel 26 times better than the thrift store find, but the experience of buying it sure was different.



____________________________________________


This little experiment of mine was eye-opening. It showed me how much of value is about perception. It makes you think, doesn't it? How often do we pay more for the experience around a product than for the product itself?

So, the next time you're pondering why selling your product or services at a particular price seems challenging, consider the value proposition you've presented to your prospects. What compelling reasons have you given them to make that investment?


Did you learn something new today?

I saw a 30-second Instagram Reel. 15 minutes later, I was clearing my schedule. 24 hours later, my flight was booked.

No long research. No overthinking. Just instant decision-making from a candlelit dinner.

And guess what? Your customers do the same thing.

People don’t always buy because they planned to.

___________________________________________


They buy because something they saw, heard, or felt triggered them to act.

This is why your business needs to stay visible, relevant, and easy to buy from—at all times.

Clients don’t always buy because they need something—they buy because something made them feel like they had to have it.


___________________________________________


Sometimes, it’s about timing.

Sometimes, it’s about a feeling.

Sometimes, they weren’t even looking for a solution, but you showed up in the right moment.

This is why you can’t afford to rely on seasons, algorithms, or waiting for demand. Your business should be set up to capture attention and convert—no matter when someone stumbles across you.


___________________________________________


Here are a few things to note:

• Storytelling is highly underrated in business
• Sell the transformation, not just the product.
• If they have to think too hard, they’ll scroll away.
•Make your offer easy to buy—no one likes friction.
•Your service should trigger desire, not just awareness.
•If your offer isn’t clear in 5 seconds, it’s too complicated.
•Be where your customers already are—not where you wish they were.

Be honest—have you ever paid for something you didn't budget for just because it felt right?

PS: I share the juicy stuff in my comment section

This month alone, I have made over $10,000 in profit for HALO one of the brands I recently signed a branding deal with and I can’t even scream enough.

My contract has been renewed as well and I can’t wait to announce the magic I have been doing with the new brands I just sealed branding deals with.

For me, I think it’s really simple if you look at it. All any brand (either big or small) needs is just a little face lift. Before I started working with HALO , the brief was simple:

“Dear Chinelo,
We have a physical store here in North Carolina. Sales are not exactly so good and I think we just need a marketing expert”

After series of question during the discovery call, I found out marketing was the least of their problems. From suggesting new packaging and type faces, to rebranding, to advertising campaigns, to awesome user experience packagings, to introducing pastry candles, HALO went from a few hundred dollars in profit to about $10,000 without a website yet and shipping from their stores to different parts of North Carolina, United States.

(Their branding and packaging became so cool that they went from a regular scented candle brand to a luxury candle brand in no time. Candle prices went from $25-50 to $150 -$200 and sales even doubled).

And you know the best part? The month isn’t even over yet.😊😊😊😊

Why am I making this post this morning? Well, not only has my contract been renewed, my fee has also been raised by 30%

A satisfied brand gives you some bragging rights as a packaging designer and branding strategist.🤣

A goal without a deadline or consistent action is just a wish.
When was the last time you set a goal and actually mapped out how to get there?

Most people don’t. They say, “I want to lose weight,” or “I want to make six figures,” but they leave it at that—vague, flimsy, with zero structure.

___________________________________________


Here’s the shift no one talks about: if your goal doesn’t have a deadline, it’s not real. If you don’t have a plan, it’s just a daydream. And if you’re not taking consistent action? Forget about it.

This year, you shouldn't play that game.

I’ve built my goals around what actually matters to me, not just what sounds good on paper. I’ve attached deadlines, mapped out step-by-step plans, and I’m taking consistent, aligned action.


___________________________________________


This is exactly how I coach my clients: we get crystal clear on what they want, set timelines, and create a system to execute.

Here’s the formula that works every time:
Personal, meaningful goal + Deadline + Plan + Consistent action = Fulfillment.

Fulfillment isn’t some abstract concept. It’s the direct result of being intentional, structured, and disciplined with what you want. Anything less? You’re just moving around in circles.


___________________________________________


Ask yourself: Are your goals actionable—or are they just ideas floating around in your head? Because if it’s the latter, it’s time to change how you approach everything.

If you want to “Re-Design” Your lifestyle this year, then this shift is a non-negotiable.

Did this give you clarity?
