Observation

Don’t wait until you need an audience to start building one.

Don’t wait until you need an audience to start building one.

I’ve been evangelizing about this for seven years:

Tell your story. Share what you know. Show people what you do.

I just hope one of you listens to me and wins! 😂

A friend recently reached out who spent years in a very corporate environment where sharing their own perspective wasn’t necessarily encouraged.

Then the big role ended.

The big logo disappeared.

And suddenly they wanted to start telling their story.

It’s never too late to start, but I’ve told them the same thing I’ve said about my own career: I wish I had built my audience when I still had the big title and big logo helping amplify it.

Your experience has value right now.

There are people waiting to learn from you, connect with you and maybe even work with you someday.

But they can’t care about a story you never tell.

Start the conversation.
