I just hit 12,000 followers on LinkedIn.

• No celebration
• No screenshot
• No dopamine hit

Just a quiet confirmation.

Numbers only matter when they reflect something real.
And this milestone does.

Not because of the count.
But because of the process behind it.

Three years ago, I was “the SEO guy.”

I wrote for Google first.
Humans second.

Intent over attention.

And there is a massive difference.

When someone searches Google, they already want something.
They are raising their hand.

Your job is simple:
Answer better than everyone else.

SEO writing is a drive-thru.

• They order
• You deliver
• The most organized kitchen wins

Social media is the opposite.

Nobody is ordering anything.

You are competing with Netflix, Slack pings, TikTok, and mental exhaustion.
You have to create hunger where none existed.

That shift humbled me.

I had to unlearn structure.
And relearn persuasion.

I stopped asking, “Is this optimized?”
And started asking, “Does this land?”

I studied storytellers.
Not marketers.

I watched how anticipation is built.
How tension is held.
How emotion carries ideas further than logic ever could.

Slowly, something clicked.

I stopped obsessing over keywords and started chasing clarity.
I stopped tracking backlinks and started tracking behavior.
I wrote for humans first.

Ironically, my SEO got better too.

Growth stopped feeling fragile.
It started feeling inevitable.

Not because of hacks.
But because I kept showing up when it made no sense.

When I was tired.
When clients were on fire.
When posts got buried.

I still wrote.

That consistency built trust.
Opened conversations.
Closed deals.
Changed how I see the game entirely.

I used to understand how content works.

Now I understand why it sticks.

This is not explosive growth.
It is earned growth.

And at this pace?

Increasing follower count is 100% irrelevant.
Changing lives and removing fiscal anxiety is.
Only focus is on providing value and getting paid for it.

It is alignment plus consistency plus time.

Because once you understand how humans work, you stop chasing reach.

And start building a life that compounds.

Helping Law Firms increase AI & Local SEO visibility to maximize client intake. | Add 7-Figures worth of cases per year from organic traffic. | My Local Gap Calculator tells you how much you lose every month

AI is not the problem. Your incentives are. AI is not going to use itself.

If you think your boomer salary is going to save your company, you are dead wrong...

The problem is that those that know how to use AI, are building companies not making themselves poor in a job.

They won't work for a salary when they can print 7-figure years. If you think this is an exaggeration, you lack imagination. 

Offer a cut of the pie to those with a brain, or get left behind.

Need help transforming your employees into AI machines? 

Reply with TRANSFORM and we'll talk.

Not being in top #3 on Google Maps costs you 7-Figures per year in lost deals.

This is how you climb to the top and get that massive revenue share:

• Fast Site
• High Quality Backlinks
• Local citations optimized
• Content written to convert
• Topical Authority Map that tells Google you know your stuff

If you want to know how much you're leaving on the table, click on the link in the comments. We'll tell you exactly how many leads are there for your industry.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but...

You need $0 down to start an online business.

• Free AI = DeepSeek
• Free Landing Pages = Carrd
• Free Video Hosting = YouTube
• Free traffic = Social Media Profiles

Poor people have bad imagination. Get creative.

You've seen the posts:

"I don't even use Google anymore." (These numbers are scary...)

Big talk.

But what does the data actually show?

Google went from 8.5 billion searches a day to 13.7 billion.

More people are Googling than ever.

I'm taking 2 new clients in February. If your company does over $3 million per year, your business is qualified for growth.

Some call it AIO...

Others call it GEO...

Old timers want to cling on to SEO...

I say to all of them.

Get.
More.
Backlinks!

Ask me how if you want ones that move the needle.

Every few years, marketing declares another rivalry:

Radio vs. TV.
TV vs. digital.
PR vs. content.
SEO vs. AI.

But reality doesn't do clean cuts.

The so-called replacement consistently resolves as reinvention.

And this is how it looks in real time:

1. SEO Has Been “Dying” Since the Early 2000s

Two decades of predictions haven’t stopped search growth. They’ve only exposed how often tactics expire while demand continues to shift.
https://hubs.la/Q03ZKW2P0

2. Marketer’s Favorite Hobby: Declaring Things Dead That Still Print Money

Radio died. TV died. PR died. Email died. And yet they’re all still here, evolving while the industry chases the next funeral headline.
https://hubs.la/Q03ZKWZR0

3. The Fastest Way to Lose Narrative Control in AI Search

When brands avoid specifics, generative engines treat it as a gap that needs to be filled, and they fill it fast.
https://hubs.la/Q03ZKXVN0

4. AI Marketing That Actually Held Up in Production

Instead of chasing novelty, these teams treated AI as plumbing. The outcomes were faster execution, cleaner workflows, and measurable gains.
https://hubs.la/Q03ZKYMB0

5. Google’s December Core Update Has Landed

Now comes the hard part: understanding whether your current visibility is stable, temporarily tolerated, or already on borrowed time.
https://hubs.la/Q03ZKWH70

The illusion of replacement hides continuity of control.

We hype "new" systems as total takeovers, and lose focus on what really works.

If you want to see where your next opportunity hides, let me tell you in a call here: https://hubs.la/Q03ZKY9j0

SEO is officially in its “Facebook 2018” era.

Back then, Facebook lost millions of visits and businesses fled to Google for safety.

Now, that safety net is gone too.

Seniors are already planning for a 40% drop in search traffic over the next few years.

(No more hoping-against strategies)

And once traffic decline becomes a planning number, not a fear, everything shifts. 

Let's get into what happened last week:

1. Publishers Are Planning for a 40% Traffic Loss

Search was supposed to be the stable channel. Now publishers are reallocating headcount, formats, and revenue models around their decline.
https://hubs.la/Q03_LWQM0

2. Google Is Teaching People How to Read Curiosity

Google is now actively teaching users what to explore next while they’re still figuring out what they’re interested in.
https://hubs.la/Q03_LYSv0

3. Two Content Economies Are Emerging (Exposure No Longer Pays the Bill)

For 20 years, publishing meant visibility in exchange for knowledge. Now answers stay inside machines, and content creators are being told to accept less.
https://hubs.la/Q03_LXB50

4. Your Best Buying Signals Never Make it to the CRM

Deals expand right before they close. New voices enter, urgency rises, and the most valuable signals never make it into the CRM that’s supposed to catch them.
https://hubs.la/Q03_LWmH0

5. The Social-to-Search Halo Effect SEO Isn’t Measuring

Not all demand starts with a query. Some of it starts with a feeling that sends people searching days later. Ignoring it means letting curiosity resolve on someone else’s terms.
https://hubs.la/Q03_LZxs0

We’ve moved past organic guarantees.

Today, reach depends on systems that can actively shape demand:

AI for discovery.
Ads for paid attention.

I'll show you what that setup can actually do for you.

New Year’s Eve is behind us.

I started January 5th with a work sprint. One rock. One focus.

Here’s what separates people who adapt and those who don’t:

Most people blame external pressure. 

• War
• Gas prices
• Difficult year

Very convenient. 

Because then you don’t have to examine your own decisions.

But tough times don’t define you. You define how you respond to them.

In every downturn, a small group does exceptionally well. They didn't ignore reality. They adapted faster.

What separates them? 

Structure.

For me, 2025 was one of the best years on record. Most of that traces back to one decision: focus on recurring revenue.

Before that, my business was fragile. Revenue came in bursts. Planning felt theoretical. Every month was a reset.

That realization didn’t come from scrolling. It came from forcing the numbers to tell the truth.

Here’s what most people get wrong about planning:

They plan to feel organized, not to make tradeoffs.

Unrealistic plans create false confidence. Ignoring your capacity creates burnout. Never adjusting creates quiet failure.

The solution? Quarterly planning.

Long enough to set direction. Short enough to correct mistakes before they compound.

A real rock solves an active problem, changes future options, and creates second-order effects. If it doesn’t do all three, it’s not a rock.

Most ideas get eliminated at this stage. Nice-to-haves don’t change the game.

The cost of continuing as usual:

Busy weeks. Incremental progress. Another year where effort increases faster than leverage.

Poor planning doesn’t fail loudly. It fails quietly.

Planning isn’t about controlling the future. It’s about creating structure that allows good decisions to emerge.

The people who do well aren’t waiting for clarity. They create it.

Let’s build that structure together.

Did you know that 88% of urgent clicks go to companies located in Google's Maps Tri-Pack?

If your business is not located in first 3 spots, you are missing on fastest profit on the internet. (Here's how to easily climb to the top):

1. Fix your citations
2. Get fresh reviews (from Google Local Guides)
3. Make sure content of your site is optimized for Local SEO
4. Don't forget to double check your phone number is working

These may sound simple, but roadblock up to 7 figures annually of free orgaic traffic.

Check out our Google Profit Gap Calculator, and ensure you take proper action.

Remember when buying online took around 20 minutes across 5 sites?

Google just shrank it to 10 seconds on one screen:

Customer asks about rugs → sees Rugs USA's 20% off → taps buy.

Curiosity hits search. Wallet hits empty.

The Mindful Creator | I talk about mindset, creativity, & content writing | Building The Mindful Creation Blueprint

I wasn’t supposed to be here.

Five and a half years ago, my life was going the other way...

I was: 

🔹Drinking every day
🔹Running from myself

And one night alcohol took my right eye in a freak accident

That was my wake-up call.

I had two choices: 

1. Keep spiraling downwards (and potentially die) 
2. Rebuild myself

I chose to rebuild.

I got sober. 

Which forced me to face the sides of myself I’d been running from. 

And in the process, I discovered something most people never realize...

Your identity shapes your whole reality. 

Who you believe you are determines what you're capable of creating. 

That lesson became the foundation of everything I do now.

When I started my consulting business...

I was in college studying audio engineering.

Just a normal guy who had to figure it out from scratch.

Since then... 

I built my consulting business to six figures organically on LinkedIn.

And I've watched my clients break through the same walls I had broken through in my own life.

Today, my mission is simple:

To help established leaders and creatives get to $20K/m by doing the inner work combined with the business work.

Because I know what it feels like to lose everything.

And I also know what it takes to build yourself back stronger.

Darion Rae

Delusional self belief...

That's where it all started for me.

Not everyone is going to support you.

Not everyone is going to believe you can do it.

(Some people might secretly want you to fail).

One of the few things you can control though...

Is betting on yourself.

(Huge shoutout to Kelsey Schaefer for having me on Inspired Idiots. If you haven't seen what she's up to... check her out)

Helping you master → yourself, value creation, & productizing your knowledge

If what you're working on doesn't:

🔹Fire you up
🔹Get you obsessed
🔹Excite you when you wake up

You're headed in the wrong direction. 

You can think it's idealistic for me to say it.

You can even disagree...

But I know one thing for certain:

Life is too short to spend your time doing sh*t you don't care about.

🔷 If you love self-mastery, value creation, and productizing your knowledge, follow me Darion Rae

I don’t want an easy life.

I want a meaningful one.

Easy now gets harder as you go.

A meaningful life is the exact opposite.

It’s hard now, but gets easier later. 

That’s the trade most people never consciously choose.

If you’re even thinking about this…

You’re already playing a different game than most people.

People who feel unfulfilled usually aren’t lazy…

They’re misaligned.

They never chased excellence in what they’re meant to do.

(Their life’s task)

So they stay stuck going through the motions.

Working on things they don’t enjoy and aren’t passionate about. 

This is why I’m so committed to chasing mastery in what I love. 

And why I believe we all need to be. 

When you remove distractions and commit to one path long enough…

Meaning and fulfillment come naturally. 

Yes, being a polymath is important.

Yes, having multiple skills is important.

But you need to go deep into 1 or 2 things.

Mastery requires it.

I never mastered my early passions as a kid.

I got above average…

Then moved onto the next thing that excited me.

Every time.

Now that I’m older, I see why.

Magic, breakdancing, basketball, rapping…

They were my training wheels.

Looking back at all those passions I was able to see similarities. 

They were all rooted in:

🔹Self-expression
🔹Technical skill
🔹Performance

And best of all they were permissionless. 

They all led me here to creating value online and productizing my knowledge. 

And now I’m chasing mastery for the first time in my life, and it feels damn good. 

So this is my reminder to you…

Yes, go wide in a bunch of things, follow your curiosity and interests.

They’ll help you realize what you need to go deep in.

🔷 If you love self-mastery, value creation, and productizing your knowledge, follow me Darion Rae

In the digital age, nothing is more important than mastering:

🔹 Yourself 
🔹 Value creation
🔹 Productizing your knowledge

Yourself because there's never been more distractions.

Value creation because the internet allows everyone to build their own business. 

Productizing your knowledge because to reach as many people as possible... you need scale.

Tactics don't mean sh*t if you don't become the personal capable of getting the outcome you want.

Ever since I was a kid I was chasing mastery without even knowing it.

My first passion was magic. 

I wanted to be a magician so badly after my uncle did some magic tricks for me and my friends at one of my birthday parties. 

I would practice in front of the mirror for hours every single day after school.

Just me working on my slight of hand and all the angles. 

I even pretended my reflection was the person I was performing for. 

Then I found breakdancing when I was 10. 

It opened a whole new perspective for me on self-expression.

It was creative, technical, and performance based (just like magic).

There was always another move to learn, or another way to do a move that I’d never seen anyone else do. 

It kept me hooked. 

Then a couple years later I found my greatest love…

Basketball.

It consumed me.

And when I say consumed me… I mean I was absolutely obsessed. 

I woke up at 5 AM before school to practice.

I slept with my ball.

I trained at lunch between classes, after school…

Pretty much anytime I wasn’t eating or in class,

I was practicing. 

This has been a trend my whole life.

After basketball it was rapping…

Then 3.5 years ago, I found online entrepreneurship and never looked back. 

Here’s why I’m telling you all this…

Last year something felt off in my business.

Which is strange because the year before in 2024 I:

🔹Hit 6 figures
🔹Thought I was building my dream biz
🔹Helped a lot of people get clients on LinkedIn

So I couldn’t quite put my finger on what didn’t feel right…

All I knew was I wasn’t inspired to write content anymore.

I didn’t get fired up to start work in the morning like I did the year before. 

My obsessiveness over my craft pretty much disappeared. 

And my business took the hit. 

After a lot of self reflection and brutal honesty with myself,

I realized what happened...

🔷You can read the full post called 'Most People Never Discover What They're Meant To Do (How to find your heart's task)' here:

https://lnkd.in/eiATk8Km

Abby struggled with her writing business for 3 years before we started working together.

Before we met she:

🔹Had no strategy or repeatable systems
🔹Offered every type of copy you can think of
🔹Only signed a couple one off ‘project’ clients
🔹Didn’t feel like a business owner who ran an actual business
🔹Was ready to give up because she thought maybe it wasn’t for her

Now in less than 10 months she:

🔹Feels like a real business owner
🔹Is working with 6 clients she’s aligned with
🔹Has a specialized offer built for recurring revenue
🔹Has a system and strategy she can wake up and execute on without guessing
🔹LOVES what she does

So if you’re a leader or creative who wants mastery over 3 key areas:

💎 Yourself
💎 Value creation
💎 Productizing your knowledge
