The Broken Window Effect at Work.

Sometimes burnout doesn’t start with too much work.
It starts with too many small things left unresolved.

The message you never get back.
The feedback that never arrives.
The meeting that ends without a decision.
The standards that exist somewhere, but never clearly.

Each one is tolerable on its own.
Together, they quietly change how you work.

You stop asking questions because it feels pointless.
You fill in gaps that shouldn’t be yours to fill.
You manage ambiguity instead of doing the job you were hired to do.

That’s where the exhaustion comes from.
Not effort.
Uncertainty.

People don’t burn out because they’re incapable.
They burn out because they’re constantly compensating for what the environment doesn’t provide.

If work feels heavier than it should, it’s worth asking:
What small things have been broken for a long time?

They’re usually the real reason your energy keeps leaking.

Follow me Dan Murray🧠 for more on habits and leadership.

P.S. If you want 2026 to feel different, don’t start with goals.
Start with clarity.

Most people don’t need more discipline.
They need to understand what’s been draining them and what deserves their energy.

I’ve spent years refining a simple process to help you with exactly that.

The Broken Window Effect at Work

One thing I’ve learned after building multiple teams: the most valuable people are rarely the loudest.

They’re the ones who quietly upskill when no one’s watching.

You can’t teach that level of internal drive.
You can’t force someone to care about their growth more than the company requires.

That has to come from within.

And from a neuroscience perspective, people who self-educate build something incredibly powerful:
a plastic brain.

Every new skill, every book, every online course, it all strengthens their neural pathways for adaptability, problem - solving, and creative thinking.

Those traits compound.

They become faster learners.
Better decision-makers.
More resourceful under pressure.
And over time, they outgrow people who rely only on formal training.

When I hire, I look for curiosity.
Not credentials.
Not polished answers.
Curiosity.

Because someone who reads, experiments, builds, tinkers, or studies on their own time will eventually outpace almost everyone else.
They don’t wait to be told what to learn.
They choose it.

And that choice is what makes them dangerous, in the best way possible.

If you’re that person, keep going.
Even if no one notices right now.
Your effort is compounding quietly.
You’ll feel the gap before anyone else sees it.

Founder

Last year, I made the most revenue in my life. 

But the biggest payout wasn't money. 
It was the connections I built along the way.

I went from zoom calls from my small room in Mexico
To standing on stage next fo top 1% entrepreneurs.

And every week I see at least one of them in London.

Oh and I still do small zoom calls even after having 300k!

Last year alone, I met:

Iman Gadhzi
Shan Hanif
Simon Squibb
Dan Priestley

People who had changed my life online, I got to thank them offline and even get to be part of their world.

Your network IS your net worth.

And you can build both, on LinkedIn. (I did).

They say “Your network is your net worth”. 100% true.

(Repost this if you’d like to meet me in 2026)

PS: Who is 1 person you want to meet in 2026? (Don't say Jasmin Alic please! I KNOW).

Entrepreneur and investor building businesses online | Featured on Forbes, Kajabi + Semrush | Helped 3,000+ people grow their personal brand and scale their businesses.

This is a very special moment for me.

To my female and immigrant followers, this is for you too.

I just spoke at one of the biggest events in the UK.
Next to legendary and legacy names, everyone knows.

And for some reason, I made it into the list too.

Even with a stutter and an accent.
Even with crazy imposter syndrome.
Even without being a Forbes 30u30...

When I started this journey, I felt like all odds were stacked against me. 

I got rejected 100s of times because of my grades.
I didn't get taken seriously enough because I was a girl.
I had to work twice as hard to get seen and heard too.

But I never let that stop me. I ignored it instead.

This moment right here is proof that ANYONE can win. 

All you need to do is to stop waiting to be chosen.

Choose yourself. The right people will choose you too.

And open doors you never thought you'd get to open.

Repost ♻️ this to inspire others so we can win together!

PS: This was all because I built a personal brand, and I just put together the exact blueprint I followed.

Grab it for free here: https://lnkd.in/eKqAcXZB

I spent the last 90 days testing every LinkedIn hack. 

Here's what actually works in 2026 (for any niche):

Everyone is talking about the "new" LinkedIn algorithm.
But I just see it as more of the same, but 10x more specific.

I've grown brands from 0-100,000 followers here.
Grown my own to 300,000+ in the same time.

Mastered every format here, and helped others too.

And there are 3 core elements you need to implement:

1. Hyper-specific content (3x a week)

• Solve one exact problem per post
• Use industry language your clients use
• Speak directly to one person

Jake Ward mastered this for "boring" SEO.
Built kleo.so to $60kmrr  as a result of exactly that 

Alex Vacca mastered this for GTM.
Scaled his business to $6M ARR too

Their content is hyper-specific but simple.

Clients want to work with them because they get it.
Users want to engage with them because they simplify it.

2. Proof-First Content

80% tactical step-by-step frameworks and screenshots.
20% stories on how you're doing it (use stories)

The 80% builds trust, the 20% engages them more. 

Educate and storytell. Always both. 

3. LinkedIn Video (let me explain...)

Video reach might be down right now.
But it's the fastest way to prove authority. 

LinkedIn video is ok.
Linkedin Lives? They're a goldmine.

We had a LinkedIn live with 200 people.
Made $10,000 from it. 

People buy from people they trust. Video accelerates this! 

I'd limit these to 2 a month, though, no pressure. 

I left a checklist for you in the image below for you to script your first Linkedin video too btw.

This is the no-bs blueprint for entrepreneurs. 

It's not about more volume, it's about more insights.

Dominating LinkedIn isn't just about virality right now.
It's about building a brand that earns trust.

Keep your focus on your 1 thing. 

The rest will follow.

See you thursday, love - Lara x

pov: you stopped spending 10+ hrs writing content and started building $1M+ businesses with content. 

not long ago, 90% of my time was spent writing content. 

scrolling through my feed looking for ideas.
stressing about the hook, re-hook and content. 
trying to find the most popular format for 2025...

today i spend 10% on content and 90% on business.

built the best strategy to drive engagement to my content, but also manage different teams daily.

mastered growth content to get new followers.
mastered lead gen content to convert them into clients.

and if you're tired of feeling like you're stuck.
or if you're tired of rushing to write today's post. 

i spent the last week dissecting exactly how i did it. 

created a 200+ page long masterclass i'll deliver live. 

documented every step of the process for you to use.

join 4,000+ entrepreneurs and catch me tomorrow at 7pm LIVE: https://lnkd.in/eC5sm4cP

ps: what is the most time-consuming part of your content creation process? writing? ideas? engagement?

In November, my small business hit 200k/mo. 
If I had to start all over again from 0, here's what I'd do:

For content I'd focus on:

1. Educational content that is highly applicable 
2. Storytelling content that is highly relatable 

Too many people here just do one, but it isn't enough. 

You need to get attention by storytelling.
You need to get trust via specific breakdowns. 

Two hooks you can steal for each.

"9-Step SEO Content Strategy (Steal my 1M strategy)"
"pov: i just quit my 9-5 tech job to build a business"

For conversion, i'd focus on:

1. Building an email list as fast as possible
2. Sending weekly emails to my readers. 

Having attention is not enough if you don't convert it.

Post 4x a week. 1 lead magnet to move people to email.

This simple strategy is worth $1M. But no one does it.
It's boring, I know... but it works. 

Look, my friends... 

"Giving value" is no longer enough to grow your business or personal brand. 

The millionaires on this platform are shifting to email.
But getting traffic from LinkedIn. 

Build your brand, sell out your business.

Masterclass, over 🫳🏼🎤... wait not really. 

Jan 22nd, we're revealing exactly how you can do it too.

From content to lead magnets to conversion, I'll show you everything I've ever done live so you can use it this year.

join us for free LIVE on the 22nd of January here: https://lnkd.in/eNRvSRR7

the first 1,000 people get 4 playbooks to use for content and business!

pov: you're about to launch a tech startup in London with friends in your 20s (bts of a $1M biz).

there's something so surreal about this business. 

it wouldn't even be a reality without linkedin.

jake and i met on linkedin.
broke into the top 0.1% in less than a year.

we built businesses all through organic content.
made millions of dollars along the way. 

today we're running the same playbook for our startup. 

getting leads without spending a single dollar on ads. 
converting customers through our personal brands.
getting insane opportunities because we do it publicly. 

most people overcomplicate growth - we didn’t.

to build a profitable business you need 3 things:

1. a single platform (linkedin)
2. a skill you're good at
3. writing outstanding content daily (with kleo).

we're revealing exactly how we do it step by step in 2 weeks. 

the entire content to lead gen strategy we've used for our 3 businesses over the last 2 years to hit $1M+.

join us for free LIVE on the 22nd of January here: https://lnkd.in/eNRvSRR7

the first 1,000 people get 4 playbooks to use for content and business!

3 lessons you need to hear to win this year.

1. If you never quit, you'll never fail (keep going)
2. Nothing happens, then everything happens 
3. You already have what it takes (so start)

Stop doubting yourself.

Don't spend 2026 doing the same things.

pov: you're in your 20s, building a business people love

(people traveled across the world to tell us this!)

today, Kleo has helped people gain over 1,233,394 views. 

• landed our exec clients 5/6 fig deals through linkedin. 
• helped many get new sponsors for their businesses.
• got them dms filled with speaking opps! 

i've always said that linkedin changed my life.
but it feels 10x better seeing it happen for others. 

this is your reminder that perfection is overrated. 

messy, consistent and public action is better.

and honestly you never know... your next post could change your entire career. it happens every day here. 

we're in the golden era of linkedin.

who's in? 

to celebrate, come to my free live class on the 22nd: https://lnkd.in/eC5sm4cP

we're giving away FREE access to Literally Academy to people who join kleo during launch week too...

(don't tell my team please)

PS: repost ♻️ this to get a FREE gift from me, with love.

I went on my dream podcast, but nearly canceled it.

Felt like an imposter the entire day; I was nervous.
Self-doubt was loud in my head, and I was scared. 

Almost as though I hadn't built anything ever. 

But going on a podcast with 754k subscribers is something I've never done before. What if I failed?

Imposter syndrome doesn't pick favorites, I guess.
But you can always decide how much it affects you.

And I didn't let it. I showed up (nervous, but showed up).

No matter how many followers I have or businesses I build, sometimes all I see are failures and rejections. 

If you relate, let me leave you with my favorite lesson:

You're not bad at things, just new at them. 

From LinkedIn, to work, to a stage... keep going. 

Watch the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/e_Er4XCq

PS: What podcast would YOU love to be on?

I'm putting together a FREE class showing you exactly how we built an organic content engine that brings us opportunities like these!

This is the exact lead gen strategy I'm using in 2026.

It made me over $1M in 2025, so I'm using it again:

Ready? (Like + repost ♻️ to help others)

The 10-Step Strategy (copy me):

 1. Storytelling content to reach new audiences fast
 2. Highly tactical content to nurture them weekly
 3. Using tactical CTA's at the end of EVERY post
 4. Posting 1-2 lead magnets weekly to grow email
 5. Sending 1 weekly email to that same list to nurture
 6. Launching 1 NEW offer every quarter to my audience
 7. Selling it primarily via daily emails for around 10 days
 8. Funnel warm buyers to a webinar to 3x conversions
 9. Build a 10/10 product/offer and overdeliver for them
10. Use steps 1-9 to create new offer and more content

The entire lead generation playbook is right there. 

Want me to implement it with you? Let's do it.

On January 22nd I'll be going LIVE for 2 hours breaking down exactly how you can use this for your business. 

Grab your spot here: https://lnkd.in/eC5sm4cP

I'll be covering every step in excruciating detail. 
My team and I have been working on this for 1 month.

No old stuff, no old tactics, no algo hacks.

Actual real strategies that are proven to work even if your business is "boring". 

PS: Which 1 out the 10 is the HARDEST for you?

pov: you locked yourself in a room until your new tech business made $100,000 (without vc funding or ads).

but before i tell you what happened my room.

let me remind you of 1 thing. 

ideas mean nothing without execution. 

stop planning.
stop going to events.
stop trying to find investors.

do the thing first, fill the gaps later.

hope this inspires you to take imperfect action.

Results so far? 213,833 impressions in 30 days.
392 sign-ups for our software in under 10 days.

This is the copy-paste strategy every founder can use. 

I included 3 key elements no one talks about. 

1. How to stand out from day 1
2. The 4-3-2-1 Content Framework I built
3. How to use AI to write better content, faster 
4. Turning ideas into highly educational content
5. Turning stories into engaging viral pieces 

If you've been looking for a high-level strategy. This is it. 

Most people pay me $2k/hr for this.
Today you get it for FREE. 

Watch the full video here: https://lnkd.in/eTX2Qtrk

But whatever you do, don't share this.
I might get in trouble for giving so much away for free..

Shoutout Cam Trew for locking in so hard... 

PS: I want to do more of these LIVE, if you're a founder/creator in London, comment below and maybe you can be next! Repost ♻️ so we find you faster:)

The best entrepreneurs I know don't believe in work-life balance. This advice is flawed in many ways. 

Most spent YEARS in seasons of imbalance.

Which is what helps them have balance today. 

Personally, I don't have work-life balance. 
It's not that I don't believe in balance. It’s just unrealistic.

What I DO believe in is knowing that it is a privilege to be tired in the pursuit of challenge of your own choosing.

Pressure is a privilege, which I remind myself of daily.

Shoutout to the tired entrepreneurs building right now, I see you and root for you ♥️.
