Mistake #5 that keeps people from growing to 10,000 followers and earning $10,000/mo

This is a 5 part series on mistakes people make when trying to grow and monetize their personal brands on LinkedIn. Click here for part 1 , part 2 , part 3 and part 4.

I’m currently training for my second marathon.

I run 4x a week and lift 3x a week at the gym.

The reason I manage to stay consistent with these two?

I created positive feedback loops that reward me consistently.

And for building a personal brand on LinkedIn you need to do the same.

Because consistency will always beat perfection, here’s how to do it…

Mistake #5: Not having the right systems in place

When you start, there are 3 main problems that most likely stop you:

  • Getting writer’s block and looking at a blank page for hours

  • Overthinking your hook and scrolling for inspiration

  • Cringing yourself out and deleting the post

It’s the same with most new things, we are bad at them so we don’t do them.

But what if I told you there is a way to override this? A 3-step system.

Step 1: Stop context switching
Step 2: Have a simple writing system
Step 3: Constant accountability

The Positive Loop Effect: How Alexis went from 0 to 1M weekly impressions on LinkedIn

Earlier last year, members of Literally Academy challenged each other to a 100 day posting challenge.

They had 1 rule, post for 100 days straight.

They used the templates inside the academy
They used the frameworks I taught them
They used the prompts I gave them
And many blew up.

But Alexis did the most, because in that she also found her style.

She’s been through many courses and almost didn’t invest in mine.

But today she’s literally my biggest affiliate because I showed her how she could build a personal brand that was entirely about her, not just trends.

And gave her a community of people who supported her on top of it.

I’ll be sharing the entire playbook on how Alexis grew this fast on our live this week, check out my Linkedin for more details soon.

In the meantime, join the waitlist for Literally Academy - the best personal branding course in the industry.

We’re going live in 1 day, and I cant wait to see you inside.

Love you,

Lara 🙂
