Consultant

Had a dream, found a mission.  Wanted to give my kids more than I had growing up and at the same time to help B2B Businesses to find consistent sustainable growth.  It all began in 2016 

Started out not knowing what the hell I was doing and then after making a lot of mistakes we grew the business and made it into Florida

So within 6 weeks this year I will become a Dad for the 3rd time at 45

- Apply (and hopefully get) Paola Carvajal's UK visa
- Close on a house
- Move from the USA to the UK

And most important of all

- Be a present father and husband despite the chaos

Any tips on negotiating several life events like this?

p.s don't believe the mass media garbage

The UK and the US are STILL great places to live

I used to think Luke Matthews was a dick

Then I realized thinking that was more about me than it was about him

His willingness to say exactly what he thinks held a magnifying glass over the fact that I wasn't doing it 

Even when I knew I should be. I

It's like when a friend loses loads of weight and you don't and when you meet them

You notice it in yourself because they did  

And then I spoke to Luke on zoom last year, and realized he's genuinely a nice guy

Do I agree with everything he says?

No

Is he right about everything

No.  

And neither am I

Show me somebody that is!

But in a platform like this

Dominated by mass consumption culture and a desire to stay safe

It's refreshing to see people like him don't you think?

Lots of hate here because he chartered a plane to escape Dubai 

It cost him 150k and he posted on social about it 

And lots of people saying he isn’t smart and he’s selfish and he should have taken more people 

And I want to ask 

Sure we might do things differently 

I know I would 

But who are we to judge, insult and tell somebody how to spend their OWN money ?

And how many of these people do you believe 

Have a spare room in their house or a spare seat in their car

But don’t transport people or give the homeless a room 

It smacks of jealously to me 

Its a shame social media lost critical thinking isn’t it?

Lost a few followers and got some strong hate 

Because I believe we should all be able to spend our own money 

In the way we decide fit 

And we should be able to do it without being abused on social media 

That doesn’t mean I agree or support a lot of stuff that goes on 

The post I made yesterday is over 20k impressions 

And some may say it’s not about business or marketing 

And that’s right, because it’s about something WAY more important than business 

Because whether you like it or not, with ai 

It means your knowledge has become commodity 

But people we know like and trust are more scare than ever 

Learning to stand in your truth and what you believe 

Will land you clients 

Don’t get caught behind and listen to the angry mob

Here’s what works on here right now: 

1.  Post once a day 
2. Post twice a day
3. using a scheduler 
4. Not using a scheduler 
5. Text posts 
6. Not doing text posts 
7. Video 
8. Carousel 
9. Short content 
10. Long content 
11. Ai avatars 
12. Not using ai avatars 

Why? 

Good content is good content. Period 

Do what you will stick with and what you will get good at

The turtle beats the hare because slow and steady wins the race 

Like Charlie munger said, never let compounding interrupt itself unless you have to 

And a post in your feed by somebody wanting to sell you something doesn’t count

My reach has gone down but not because of the algo:

I’m 44 and I’m transitioning life change 

- new country in June 

- becoming a father again July 

- different life priorities as a father of 3 kids 

It’s not a change in circumstance 

It’s actually a change in identity

I’m not worried because it’s the 3rd time 

What do I mean ?

It’s like jumping in the ocean 

And watching the boat you were on disappear in the distance 

While having faith the new one will arrive 

Meanwhile you tread water 

And unlike the ocean in real life 

The new boat ALWAYS arrives

If you continue to embrace change and growth 

And keep posting despite the risk of looking silly 

You might be losing your job or dealing with sickness or aging parents 

Keep going 

Never blame the algo or listen to the silly posts 

there’s plenty of creators growing 

They just failed to adjust

The ONE change that will blow up your visibility

''I vibe coded quickbooks'':

To save me $79 a month software subscrption

↑ This above was just posted by a 20 something 

trying to automate his business with AI

And shows EXACTLY why experience wins when it comes to AI 

Replacing a foundational accounting package that costs a teeny-tiny fraction of income

AND  is preferred and supported by bookkeepers and accountants everywhere)

AND allows them to work easily and do their job 

AND means the probability of a miscalculation on the ever updating tax code  

is 100% worth sticking with

Stupid not to. No other word 

Would you? For around 1.2k a year saving

A lot of people are asking why we are leaving the USA

And it’s simple 

It’s the same reason dozens of Brits and immigrants in my network are going back home 

It’s not because we don’t like it here 

It’s because the immigration system has become too unpredictable 

It’s impossible to feel stable and plan for the future 

And thank you for the kind messages

P.s I help over 40s stand out instead of blend in with thought leadership systems

This is an ai comment replying to an ai comment:

And I’m not complaining 

NEVER has it been easier to stand out

Those arrows show when brew 360 was launched...

That’s the new algo 

And it corresponds with an inflection point 

Ignore everybody that says the platform is in decline 

And quietly get on with it

And yes I don’t have millions of views 

And I’m not famous 

Why? 

That’s called a ‘fame brand’

That’s for ‘Gareth Guru’,  ‘Theresa Template’ and 'Peter Prompt'

I built something else 

It’s called a ‘Profit and Purpose’ brand 

Why?

I’ve always been the guy picking up my kids in the beat up car 

Nobody knows what I do

Just that there’s a quiet confidence when they are around me 

Presence does the talking and that can ONLY come from purpose 

It’s magnetic 🧲

Everyday I get trolled and criticized...

They comment below my videos and reply to my emails

And they say 

How can you talk about Linkedin when you don't have as many views as:

<insert famous LinkedIn creator>

Usually way younger and better looking

And so it's time to show rather than tell:

I'm running a one time live workshop next week

How A 'Too Old For This' 40+ Built A $4M Business From Social Media… Without Going Viral

And How We've Helped Hundreds Of Experts & Beginners Grow Their Business - Without Fame, Fancy Equipment, Or Dancing On TikTok

Views and fame a business do not make

In this video, we reviewed five strategies that you can use to help you connect with potential customers and demonstrate the value of your offerings, resulting in more high-value customers.

We covered 

• Show Your Puzzle Pieces (The Reverse-Engineering Approach) – Demonstrate how your work fits together by revealing key parts of your process.

• Solve the $100 Problem (Not the $2,500 One) – Focus on helping people solve a small, immediate problem first to build trust and momentum.

• Never “Sell” Them (The Bootstrap Principle) – Create situations where people naturally discover the value of what you offer rather than feeling like they’re being sold to.

The problem with Dubai:

Is the same as the problems I’ve had in Colombia and the USA

The people are amazing in all of them

And 15 years ago Colombia was great but the politics changed 

And crime became an issue 

5 years ago the USA was fantastic 

But the politics changed and visa renewal became an issue 

My uncle bought a house in Portugal to retire 

Then England left the EU and they changed visa criteria quickly 

And now he can’t get the visa 

And now Dubai is closed and bombs are landing 

I have friends there and I hope they are okay 

People living there  might be about to realize

The same thing it took me 15 years living abroad to relaize 

Politics can change quite literally overnight

 it’s swinging to extremes everywhere 

And as a foreign national you will NEVER be a priority like a citizen 

Is it worth a couple of points reduction on income tax? 

Not for me (anymore)

Would you think twice about living aboard to save tax?

The biggest problem I have with using AI on linkedin

Is that there is no direct integration between claude, chat GPT and LinkedIn

I just want to be able to chat with the ENTIRE platform

And ask it what is working in my niche

What worked for me (so I can do more)

Then simply combine them to create great content

And then I found a tool that DOES it with 20 secs of none techincal setup

Link in comments

Best tool I've seen

Here’s link https://lnkd.in/ebTcaQew

A company used AI to enforce employee smiling; 

It's in a case study from a company who I won't name

Because I don't want then to get reach 

But is anybody surprised they are taking a chance to micromanage even more?

Spending your life in a a job was already hard enough

Will they enforce a webcam 'on' all day for work from home?

I bet they will....

Do you

No over 40 has time to comment all day to get clients

At least those with a business

And an ounce of self worth

And look, the influencers pushing this strategy are well meaning

They appeal to the masses and have HUGE followings 

Good looking, well dressed but vanilla

And that's EXACTLY why you should ignore them

Because you don't have an audience 

At over 40, you've likely got some opinions and life experience 

'Safe' content just isn't going to get the breakthrough you need 

And you just came from a job, 

why would you start behaving like you have another?

Comments have zero leverage.  

You have to manually do them 

100 comments a day - NO THANK YOU 

Learning how to tell stories, stand against something, project your energy onto a cause 

THAT has leverage, you can login once, do your thing and grow

If you are good enough then you WILL

THAT's a business

You just need 100 raving fans not 100k

Have you ever in your adult life asked yourself one of these questions?

Am I where I should be?

Am I a good parent / son / Daughter?

Am I happy doing what I'm doing?

Why does everybody seem so far ahead?

I have and thought I was missing something

I joined the best masterminds and travelled the world looking for the solution. 

And I discovered it. 

My biggest problem AND at the same time the ONLY solution was ME

Trust in yourself and the information you get lands different

I don't follow conventional strategies like 'comment on other peoples posts' all day

I don't post to add value or teach people how to do something

Yet, I land clients every week and have done for 8 years

Why?

Growth is not about providing value, it's actually about communicating VALUES

Growth is not about creating content, it's actually about understanding your VALUES and then finding new ways to show them

I call this 'Emotional Brand Intelligence' and it amplifies 'Artificial Intelligence

I haven't taught this on a training since the pandemic

Time to do it Friday

You will leave empowered and in growth mode
