Can you believe that we’re only 1 month away from Christmas, Reader?

​

That’s crazy!

​

Well, now is the best time to start reflecting on the year that 2020 was, and begin planning for 2021.

​

Whilst I haven’t done my full 15 question process (which I’ll share with you in an upcoming newsletter), I have already noticed that over the past 8 months I’ve gradually shifted from being a content consumer to more of a content creator.

​

This has led to some wonderful personal and professional wins for me.

​

So in this week’s newsletter, I want to share what's been working for me and help you prepare for 2021.

​

Whether you run your own business or work in a company for somebody else, I recommend you take the time over the coming months to develop a few important skills:

​

1. Shift from consumer to creator - write, produce, create and publish more than you consume
2. Build your profile by sharing your ideas and work publicly - think about what you want to be known for in 12 months time, and then put out regular content on your blog, podcast, youtube, newsletter, or social media - just pick 1 and be consistent
3. Build your network through developing real relationships and deliberate networking

​

To help you further, here are this week’s 5 resources:

​

​1. Free Linkedin Power Hour workshop​

​

For years my Linkedin posts sucked bigtime.

​

I was putting so much time, energy, and effort into writing content online, but it fell on deaf ears.

​

All this effort wasn’t helping my business to grow financially. I felt like giving up.

​

Then one day, I learned the secret of writing engaging posts.

​

I got my first 1,000 views post, followed by a 10,000+ views post.

​

Then a business owner hired me to help him with his Linkedin content. I helped him to get 71,000+ views for a single post.

​

Want to learn how to create engaging content on Linkedin too Reader?

​

Join my live done-with-you workshop tomorrow. You won’t just learn how to write great content, you’ll actually be DOING IT.

​

​5. Relax for the same result by Derek Sivers​

​

We often tell ourselves that going at full speed and pushing ourselves to the limit (or beyond it) will produce the best result.

There’s often a better way.

Parting Thoughts

2020 has been a significant year for me mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

​

I’ve literally been forced into doing what I’ve been preaching for years - focusing on what actually matters.

​

So I’d like you to take a moment to consider - what’s been your biggest win this year Reader, and what would you like to be different next year?

​

(Feel free to hit reply and share those with me too. I’d love to hear them).

​

Talk to you next week.
