Run Your Business Like A Boss

16-10-2023 • 20 mins

I’m so excited to bring you part 2 of my series on becoming an industry expert where I’m talking all things strategies for thought leadership. If you haven’t already listened to Part 1, make sure you go back and do so before diving into this episode.


In Part 1, I laid the groundwork for your journey into thought leadership. Today I’m delving deeper into how you can step into your role as a trusted industry expert and share your valuable insights with the world. If you're looking to boost your visibility, influence, and impact in your industry, this series is absolutely for you.


In this episode, I encourage you to begin by shifting your mindset. Instead of worrying about how you’ll be perceived, approach every message that you share with the question, "How can I serve?" Building trust and a loyal audience is a natural byproduct of genuinely serving your community. And as you step into your power, you'll attract the right people who need your expertise. This is the power of reciprocity.


This episode is full of practical and strategic tools to help you get your unique message out into the world. I dive into how you can use various platforms such as:


Social Media: Most of us are already on social media, but how effectively are we using it? I talk about speaking directly to your audience and going beyond the surface level to address the deeper problems and concerns of your ideal client.


Podcast Guesting: If you're not hosting your own show, consider being a guest on other podcasts, YouTube channels, or live events. I talk about the importance of pitching yourself thoughtfully and effectively to really showcase what you have to offer.


Blogging and Article Writing: Don't underestimate the power of blogs and articles. This is an incredible way to practise the skill of articulating your voice and putting your message out there. I talk about consistently honing in on your message and how this discipline prepares you for PR pitches and other opportunities.


I also talk about hosting events, creating courses, and offering free resources like lead magnets to educate your audience further.


Remember, big results come from consistent and persistent small actions. Focus on posting, creating content, and sharing your message regularly. Don't worry about metrics at this stage; just take action and be persistent. What action will you take this week to kickstart your thought leadership journey?
