Influencer or Influencing? A few years back, a lot of people would come to us and ask the same question:

"Can you help me become an influencer on LinkedIn?"

Here's the thing: you don't need to have a badge on your profile nor have tons of followers to be an influencer, the impact you can make to the people around you is what matters most.

The Influencer Project was born out on the idea of getting a person to be seen and heard in their community through PURPOSE, POWER, and PROFIT.

In this episode, Andrew and Rana talk about how you can make a dent in your community not by selling hand creams, but through your vision and belief in making the world a better place.

Key Influencer Points:
You don't need a badge on your profile to be an influencer
Create meaning through your brand and consistency
Make an impact through your brand... through your voice
You don't need to be the best person in the world; you just need to be the best in your community.

'Selling' is one the biggest challenge for many coaches, consultants, and business owners. The thought of having to sell ourselves triggers all sorts of negative thoughts:

“Do I sound like an amateur?”

In this episode, Rana and I talk about the challenges that many go through and break down what it actually takes to sell a product or service successfully.

Key Influencer Points:
- People won't buy unless you SOLVE

Sometimes, we wait for success to come. We tell ourselves it will just take time to get there.

"Let's wait for the right timing… "

"Let's wait for the strategy to work… "

The reality is, success is achieved with short-term actions. If you are waiting for good things to happen— take a pause. Look at where you are right now in your business.

Key Influencer Points:

One of the biggest attributes of success is time. So if you compare your day 1 to someone else’s 20 years, then you’re on the wrong path. You might only see the “outcome” which took years and years to achieve, and you might not see the challenges that someone who’s successful in business had to go through to get to where they are today.

In today’s “BOATCAST” (see what I did there) Andrew and I discuss why you shouldn’t compare your Chapter 1 to someone else’s Chapter 31, in the warm and sunny island of Davao, Philippines!

Key Influencer Points:

- Appreciate what's in front of you
- Use your time wisely
- Be careful about what you compare to
- Focus on what you can control

While the goal is unattainable, businesses must always make progressive steps to improve their competitiveness in the market.

More importantly, what steps do you take for growth?
