Mum, dad...I only went and WON!!! 🏆 🪩  

Lil old me getting a UK BUSINESS AWARD

And this one is extra special 🫶🏽

"Lone Wolf Business Consultancy of the Year"

An award specifically chosen to go to an exceptional ONE-PERSON BUSINESS!!

I am that business.

Hey, hi, hello 👋🏾

It's funny 'cos when I decided to quit agency life and pursue solopreneurship...

So many people saw it as a "step back"

I got sent screenshots from a business WhatsApp ‘community’ full of negative comments about me.

A bizarre way for grown adults to behave tbh.

The reality?

Because my consultancy is just me:

- The bar is high AF and never drops
- Every client gets my full attention
- I maintain 10/10 quality all the time

And the results I get for my clients are so f*cking insane because they work DIRECTLY with me!!

And this award recognises that.

Yipppeeeeee 🕺🕺

The judges reviewed my client work, client references, case studies (loads of indisputable evidence I've not shared on LinkedIn)...

And out of 1000s of business owners...

They chose me to win!!!

Pretty f*cking cool.

Thanks Business Awards UK.

Off to celebrate in true Shoaib style...

By devouring an açaí bowl 🤣

📅 FREE WEBINAR: How to write viral LinkedIn Posts | Register now | Grown 195+ personal brands for founders, coaches & creators | Brain behind 300M+ impressions | LinkedIn coach, strategist, speaker

Fun announcement 🎉
I'm the Head of Content at Limelight.

I've been advising David Walsh on all things personal branding, content & LinkedIn since he launched his company.

Over two years ago.

We make an excellent team.

Dave gave me full autonomy from the start and we've scaled his brand hard.

______

FYI: I'm still FULLY running my own company. It just means I go deeper (1-2 days a week) with one of my favourite founder partnerships.
______

What started as LinkedIn coaching for Dave quickly became:

→ Brand strategy
→ Lead magnets
→ Social selling funnels
→ Content engines
→ Founder positioning
→ Big-picture growth stuff

And that led to this:

25M+ organic impressions.
Tons of viral LinkedIn posts.
40K+ new LinkedIn followers.
Landing 30 speaking/podcast gigs.
Writing foreword to Amazon bestseller.
Features in major media publications.
Named "Top 50 CEO to watch" 2025.

So when he said: "Shoaib, you're practically my Head of Content"

I replied: "yeah, I kinda am."

So we made it official.

Head of Content (part-time).

I'll be doing more of the same, but on a bigger scale.

When you hear me say things like:

"Instead of chasing new clients all the time, do great work for your existing ones."

This is why!!

From a small freelancer contract in Feb 2024.
To being the fractional Head of Content.

Pretty darn cool.

As a 27 year old, here's what I'm optimising my life for:

1. Getting lost in nature (forests, waterfalls, beaches)

2.  Seeing more wildlife (jungle treks, birdwatching, hikes)

3. More time with friends (casually dropping by for a cuppa)

4. Reading more fiction (getting lost in great stories)

5. Using money smartly (pension, investments, health)

6. Looking after my body (mobility, joints, muscle growth)

7. A calm nervous system (culling access to cheap dopamine)

8. Using my 1-person business to enhance life freedom

9. Travelling (seeing new people, cultures, ways of life)


In this mad world we live in, where "success" is defined by your job title, the digits in your bank account and what car you drive, it's so freeing to prioritise a life that FEELS good over one that "looks good".

What are your priorities in this season of life??

You don't need to 'earn' your rest or your joy.

Just checking you know that???

In the UK, we do this batsh*t crazy thing of putting our happiness behind a paywall and locking it away.

"I must work for 50 years before resting."
"I must hit $10K per month before I do X."
"I must work 12-hour days to justify X."

I think that's dumb.

You have no idea what will happen tomorrow.

Yet, you put off everything that makes you happy.

You're not on rations.
We're not at war 
(yet!!! 🙃)

You have free will.

I used to tell myself...

I'll do that thing I really want to do, but only...

- "When I've ticked off this 17 step to-do list"
- "When I've hit 0 emails in my inbox"
- "When I hit XX revenue in business."

But there is no “done”

Honey, you've been LIIIIIIEEEED to.

There isn't a mythical day when...

Your to-do list is complete
Your inbox is fully empty
Your goals are all hit 

The second you finish one thing, five more appear. 

Your goalposts shift.

So this year?

I stopped chasing “done.”

And instead?

I'm choosing to enjoy life.

All whilst the work still exists.

Guilt-fucking freeeeeee!!!

Even though:

I could earn more
Launch more products
Sign more clients
Post more often
Reply to more emails

I'm happy saying: "Actually... I'm good."

And sometimes even: "Thanks, but not thanks"

Because who the hell would be happy looking back at life and saying:

"I didn't do all things I wanted to in life but hey... AT LEAST I WAS PRODUCTIVE."

I love my job, my clients and my business.

But it's not my entire life.

So yes, this year I will be:

Going on more holidays 
Ticking off more bucket list stuff
Reading fiction books over self-help stuff
Putting social things into my work diary first
Taking slow morning walks in the sun
Spending hours painting pretty pictures
Eating food without my laptop open
Seeing my friends every single week

Without thinking:

"I'm not being productive enough."

Because rest is also productive. 

Because hobbies are also productive.

Because time with loved ones is also productive.

Because exercise is also productive.

Because nourishing the soul is also productive.

Because regulating your nervous system is also productive.

Because caring for other people is also productive.

Because going on side quests is also productive.

Because seeing the world is also productive.

Because sitting in the sun is also productive.

I refuse to measure my life by how many things I can get done in X number of minutes.

Or to define my 'value' as a human being by how much GBP I can charge per hour of my time.

Zoom out for a sec.

We are tiny dots on a floating rock.

And one day, the dot disappears.

(aka you die)

So don’t spend your time being a stressed, beige dot.

Be a sparkly, glittery, fun, dancing dot.

I'm at Manchester Airport on my way to Bali ✈️

To spend 30 days chasing sunsets, exploring nature and scaling my 1-person business - on my terms!

All because 4 years ago I decided:

I want more from life.

I don’t want to spend 50 years climbing a corporate ladder or work 48 weeks to ‘earn’ 4 weeks off from work a year.

I want to prioritise time, location and financial freedom in my 20s.

Sometimes it just takes one decision.

Followed by ruthless daily action.

To change your life forever.

I'm constantly pinching myself that I can do this 🙏🏽

I'm insanely grateful that I've built a personal brand that fuels my business and allows me to travel the world at the same time.

So ready to live my best island life 🌴 🥥 

Bali friends, drop your best recs! 

Things to do, places to eat, trails to hike...

P.S. Who else thinks Karla McNeilage should greet me at the airport with a huge bunch of flowers?? 💐

I won at the Business Awards UK! 🎉 

This definitely beats the "Star of the Week" accolade I got in year 4 for "helping tidy up Mrs Drury's classroom."

Pretty dope.

Read my interview here: https://lnkd.in/ePwTbv3E

Thanks for the write-up Dan Marsh.

I passed my driving test 9 years ago but I've never owned a car in my life.

But if I did buy a car...

I'd get a little used one for < £500.

Ideally, a tiny 2 seater.

So I never have to worry about:

1. Parking (I'm terrible!)
2. Someone stealing it
3. Someone crashing into it
4. Reversing into a lampost (likely!)
5. Having to give lifts to people 😂

A crappy old banger will do. 

The only thing that matters is that it gets me from A to B.

But right now, I choose not to have one.

I work from home.
I live in the city centre.
I travel abroad 10-12x a year.

I could buy a car. It's the thing to do. Right?

But the money I would spend on a fancy car, fuel, maintenance, parking, insurance, etc.

I'd rather put into:

- Flights abroad
- Health investments
- Spoiling my friends
- Bucket list experiences
- Investing in my business

Cars are weird.

If you're into cars as a hobby, go you!
(Seriously, no judgment).

I personally am not.

But I find 3 things bizarre:

1. How OFTEN I get asked about what car I'd buy

2. How OFTEN I get asked why I don't own a car (usually they say stuff like "but your business is doing well!!!")

3. The look of HORROR on people's faces when I tell them what my dream car actually is (+ how much it would cost)

It's a metal box on wheels.

I grew up in a community where cars were the ultimate sign of wealth.

Well then, consider me poor AF 😂

For some people cars are a necessity.

But for many people they can be a status purchase DISGUISED as a necessity.

I’ve watched so many people:

- Hit their first decent revenue month
- Immediately finance a “nice” car
- Lock themselves into 3–5 years of payments

These same people say:

"We can't go on a holiday this year."
"We need to stop getting takeaways."
"Don't put the heating on. Put on a jumper."

Meanwhile...

They've got a Range Rover and an Audi parked on their drive.

Make it make sense.

Nobody is driving past you thinking: “Wow. What an extraordinary human. Look at that Audi.”

They're thinking:

"Look at that Audi."

They're romanticising the car. 

Not you.

Buy stuff that makes you feel good by all means.

But don't buy stuff because you think it will make you "look" good in the eyes of other people.

Focus on pleasing your inner self.

Not your neighbour.

I've cut out people who "talk" non-stop about their goals BUT never take action to achieve them.

I don't judge them.

I just refuse to sit in their delusion 😅

I'm tired of:

The same conversations
The same advice they'd ask for
The same excuses they'd make

I'm au-ADHD, so this also might come into it.

I'm a literal person.

If I say I'm going to create a digital product in 5 days.

By day 3 I'll have the product, the email funnel, the launch material, the graphics, the copy, the social media posts ... all done!

Day 4: I launch it
Day 5: I move to the next thing

I've trained a bias for action.

Otherwise, you get stuck in the "talking stage"

When we talk about doing something, the brain releases dopamine, just as it would if we'd actually done the thing.

So it "rewards" you for doing nothing.

Which is toxic af. Brain, do better 😂


Here are 4 things I do to PREVENT this:


1. I make an upfront investment.

Money creates commitment and the pain of losing it is a great motivator.

Invest in whatever you need ASAP.
(Even better if there's a time limit)

E.g. I paid for 6 passes for a yoga class. But the passes had to be used within 4 weeks.

I booked them all and went.

See?? It works.


2. I bake accountability into it.

Hire a PT if you wanna get built
Hire a biz coach if you want ££
Go to the gym with a friend.

The pain of letting people down is often worse than the pain of doing the thing you said you would.

Which is great for taking action.

This is especially helpful on days when you're feeling lazy.

Or whipping up excuses to not do it.


3. I single-task (not multi task).

Long to-do lists are the enemy of progress.

Subtraction is the secret weapon.

So I cull everything from my to-do list and pick 1-2 priorities.

I clear my diary for that thing.
Assign a limited amount of time for it.
Then go all in until it's done.

Only then do I move on to the next thing.

Multi-tasking = multi-failing.


4. I schedule it into the diary.

If it's not in your diary, you'll allow it to be swallowed up.

Don't lie to yourself.

You'll never make time for it.

So choose a date, time and location to start. (Knocking down the first domino is the hardest part).

Put it in your calendar. Time-block.

Anything else you want to do has to fit around it.

It's basic priority-setting.


All these are pretty basic things that helped me.

Maybe they might help you.

And you can FINALLY get *that thing* done you keep talking about.


P.S. What helps you TAKE ACTION?

Share any tips below and let's not gatekeep.

We can all win together!

2022: Worked every weekend 8am-8pm (said “no” to social invites, locked myself in a box room and went into monk mode). 

2026: Spending weekends hopping between tiny islands in the Indian Ocean with swimming shorts, a book and a water bottle.

In those 4 years, I built a multi 6-figure business from scratch.

And no…

I’m not a trust fund kid.
I don’t have a business degree.
Nobody in my family is an entrepreneur to learn from.

In the first 2-3 years, 90 hour weeks were normal.

I love the idea of “work-life balance.”

But practically, it doesn't work. 

(Especially early on).

To get something off the ground, you have to sacrifice in ways most people simply won’t.

You must be obsessive.

It takes time, graft and commitment to:

Hone your craft (until you’re very good)
Test offers that flop + create good ones
Find your ICP and what niche to target
Set up contracts/ invoicing/ decks
Figure out how to market yourself
Learn how to conduct sales calls
Build standard operating procedures
Make mistakes (hopefully only once!)
Learn the fundamentals of business

These photos are real.

But they’re the reward, not the starting point.

And ALSO a reward that I have to maintain.

I work incredibly hard when I'm in 'business season' so I can indulge in this time off, guilt-free. (And I do it all solo - my marketing, my sales, my newsletter, my content, my client delivery, my operations).

Early self-employed life is stressful, lonely, confusing and financially inconsistent.

Fullstop.

And for context:

I don’t have kids or dependents.
I don’t have a debilitating disability.
I don’t have a pet tying me to one place.

That makes digital nomad life easier.

(There are elements of privilege here for sure!!!)

But it doesn’t remove the work.

You can't shortcut that.

So if you’re seeing posts with pictures like these, but without the context I've given in this post and thinking:

“How do I get there???”

The answer is simple:

Mute the people selling you a false dream.

And focus on the work.

Put in the hours.
Cut out your distractions.
Invest in real experts to help.
Work on needle-moving tasks.
Start building your personal brand.

Do the boring stuff.

Now, 4 years in, I don’t chase “balance.”

I practice work-life integration.

I work in seasons.

Some months I go all in - by choice.

Other months I slow down. Travel more. Live life fully.

Freedom isn’t constant relaxation.

It’s optional intensity.

And this freedom is only obtained once you’ve set up the foundations.

Most people chase this freedom with no foundations.

They never make it.

Build and strengthen your foundations first.

When I started posting on LinkedIn I never expected to be body-shamed by strangers 🙃

Last month, it happened 5 times.
(and all from different people)

Why is this a thing???


"You've got chubbier in the face.”

"Stop skipping leg day bro"

"Your back is like a woman's" (body-shaming and misogyny ... double whammy!)

"Someone give this man some food.”

"You'd look a lot better if you lifted.”


For context, I'm self-employed and building in public. So often, my posts have pictures of me travelling and working from cool spots.

I try to visually show the behind the scenes of running a business as a 27 year old digital nomad.

But one thing I'll NEVER understand?...

How someone wakes up and decides “you know what, I’m going to make THEIR body MY business” 

Feel free to challenge my thoughts about business.

But commenting on a body?

Not cool.

Last year, I went through 6 months of therapy for an eating disorder.

I was also diagnosed with au-ADHD - which comes with a higher risk of addictive and compulsive behaviours.

All this can affect body-image, eating, substance abuse, etc - and I relate to a lot of this stuff!!

So there’s that.

In the last 12 months, I’ve done a lot of work on myself (therapy, PT, nutritionist, etc) and I’m so proud of that.

So silly comments don't harm me.

That's not the point.

You never know what someone is carrying when you fire off a “joke” or a flippant remark about their body.

You never know who ELSE might see your comment and what effect it might have on them.

I choose to post content online.

What I am not consenting to is commentary on my weight, shape, or appearance.

So if you’re ever tempted to comment on someone’s body...

Please think twice.

1. Is this kind?

2. Is this necessary?

3. Is this actually about them or about me needing a moment of superiority?

We can do better than this.


P.S. Sharing this post after just leaving the gym and thinking to myself... I fcking love this body and what it allows me to do. Negative nellies will always find *something* to be negative about.

I sat in a rooftop cafe, spent 4 hours painting some pretty flowers and listening to my fave albums 🌸

Morning well spent!

I'm a 27 year old, multi-award-winning business owner.

For 4+ years,
I've been building a "successful business"

This year I'm taking seriously another goal:
To build a "SUCCESSFUL LIFE"


So I operate in modes:

1. WORK MODE - spent part of my day locked in, delivering client work, smashing KPIs, delivering 1:1 coaching, running my 1-man business. 

• I'm caffeinated
• All my supplies are with me
• I get into an ADHD flow state.

2. LIFE MODE - do something that genuinely fills my cup and has nothing to do with making money, saving time or being 'productive'.

• My laptop stays at home.
• All notifications are off.
• I don't give myself "time" limits.


Some of those things include:

⛰️ Going on long walks with hiking boots, waterbottle, binoculars and no Google Maps!

🎨 Painting, knitting, building lil wooden ornaments - doing any form of 'creation' with my hands (screen-free!)

🏋️ Spending hours in the gym (rotating between working out, sitting in the sauna, facetiming friends on a treadmill or lying by a pool)

📖 Reading fiction books and getting lost in stories with a hot drink (usually peppermint tea, tropical mango tea or decaf coffee).

🥯 Planning a mid-week daytrip - where I go out for brunch, do an activity (galleries, zoos, museums) and see friends IRL.

🌅 Sitting on a beach, a cliff or in your garden and watching the sunset, appreciating nature


Remember: "productivity" isn't just measurable by money or time.

Being productive can also mean:

- resting and recovering
- observing the world around you
- having quality time with loved ones
- doing something purely for joy
- learning a new skill (with no intention to monetise it)
- reading, writing, composing
- listening to your body
- trying new things (even if you fail)
- having fun

ps. how do you "fill your cup?"


Oh and the albums I listened to were:

Stripped - Xtina
Waking up - One Republic
Wasteland Baby! - Hozier
My 21st Century Blues - RAYE

I'm 27. And last week on a work Zoom call I was rudely told off like a naughty schoolchild.

Never felt so humiliated 😅

I was accused of being "distracted" because I wasn’t making eye contact.

When I asked why he (business owner in his 50s) thought this...

He said I was "fidgety".

And "that's not making a good first impression."

Yeah...

I'm literally au-ADHD.

I struggle with eye contact and sitting still.

When I'm having a conversation, my eyes dart around the room rather than fixing on a camera.

This is because I'm processing what you're saying in real time.

Movement helps me do this.

So I often have a pen, a mug or a knitting needle in my hand (literally anything that I can find) to help anchor my thoughts.

It's called "stimming" 

And it's a form of self regulating behaviour which helps me focus and avoid sensory overload.

I once had someone ask me to repeat what they'd said - as a test - to catch me out.

The audacity!!!

The funny thing is that if I'm just stood still, staring at the camera and not fidgeting…

THEN I've 100% zoned out.

So it was actually the opposite of what this person thought.

I was super invested in the call!!!

In this case, I politely explained my situation.

The person rolled their eyes.

(Final strike ❌)

I said goodbye and ended the call.

I won’t be talked down to like a schoolchild at the age of 27.

Especially as this guy wanted MY HELP with his personal brand, yet went on to belittle and insult me.

What a world we live in.


P.S. Does ANYONE actually stare directly into the camera on a call? That’s psychopathic behaviour to me 😂

I wrote a LinkedIn post that got 74,802 likes.

It hit over 1.2 million impressions 🤯📈

- 5,186 comments.
- 1,192 reposts.

Fair to say, it BLEW UP!! 

Tomorrow, I'm showing the post to my mailing list.

And I'll break down:

1. How I sourced the idea for my client
2. Why I wrote that specific hook
3. What viral writing techniques I used

I think I just hired the best virtual assistant in my business.

And it’s not a real person 😂

Until recently, I was spending 3-4 hours a week doing the most boring admin imaginable:

– Client onboarding
– Sending links and folders
– Chasing forms / invoices
– Drafting the same emails
– Scheduling follow-ups

Now it takes me 15 minutes.

I stopped forcing clients into my internal tools and built one simple, client-facing portal instead.

Everything lives in one place:

Contracts + invoices
Onboarding docs
Forms + files + context
Automatic reminders
Clear next steps (for them and me)

And I’m no longer hunting through Slack, email, Drive, Notion and WhatsApp like a gremlin.

This is the kind of AI-enhanced software I love.

The “get this off my plate so I can do my actual job” type of AI.

I’m a one-man band.

So I quickly fall in love with any tool that:

a) saves me time
b) doesn't sacrifice quality
c) makes clients' lives easier

If you want to see what I’m using, comment "PORTAL" and I’ll send it over.

My client just fired me.

And left me this 3 minute voicenote.

I really have no other words.

Most people: advice you to send 50 cold DMs a day on LinkedIn, create a 17-step AI workflow and automate + outsource everything, including visiting your 87 year old gran. #efficiency 

Me: teach you how to write viral LinkedIn posts that boost visibility, get business results and all in less time - by using proven marketing psychology and LinkedIn growth techniques I've used with REAL PEOPLE. 


I think my method is better.

Why?

1. You learn key writing principles you can apply everywhere (landing pages, emails, ads, offers etc.)

2. You spend less time creating mediocre, bland posts that anyone could say.

3. You master how to tell great stories and build a standout, impactful and memorable personal brand.

There's nothing exceptional here.

It took 4 years of self-work, therapy, au-ADHD coaching, scaling an agency, burning said agency down, dealing with addiction and finally understanding how my brain works and how I can thrive best.

Not just as a 'business owner'.

But as a real human being.

With flaws, a chaotic schedule and a neurodivergent brain in tow, that still surprises me every day! 😅

So to me, a day like this - which embodies the financial, time and location freedom I've prioritised - is a huge achievement.

I'm 27.

And I feel like I'm living my dream life.

Society tells us to chase:

More.
Bigger.
Faster.
Status.
Upgrades.

But I'm happy right where I am.

Prioritising:

Health.
Community.
Intentionality.
Purpose.
Freedom.

I dunno why I felt so emotional watching this clip.

But I did. 

It even took me by surprise haha.

I kinda ate February up ngl!!! 🥥🌊
Here's what I got upto...

🎂 Celebrated my 27th birthday with my bunch of school pals in Leeds. Had a Thai curry followed by cheesecake. In bed by 9:30pm. Perfect night.

🫡 Became Limelight’s Head of Content (to extend my current partnership with David). I’ll be leading strategy across personal branding, content marketing and LinkedIn. (The nerdy, data-backed, revenue-generating kind.)

✈️ Flew across the world for 30 days in Indonesia - to island hop, chase sunsets and go into “monk mode” in a few business areas. Escaped the dark, depressing 7am UK mornings. Sorry Britain. I love you. But respectfully, no.

🏆 Won the Lone Wolf Consultancy of the Year Award at the Business Awards UK - the judges recognised “exceptional client results” as the winning factor.

🏋️ Ate 17 smoothie bowls (so far!). Drank 14 protein shakes. Spent 40+ hours lifting weights in the gym and read 3 books (all of them were so good, so I'll pop them in the comments!)

🧠 Ran my 2nd LinkedIn masterclass of the year: “How to write viral LinkedIn posts”. 300+ people signed up to learn my proven, data-driven tactics to amplify the visibility of their content.

🤝 Signed a 3-month creator partnership deal with a brand (co-owned by Steven Bartlett). It’s one of the first AI tools I’ve seen that supports real copywriters without turning everyone into beige, robotic LinkedIn clones.

📈 Two clients upgraded their LinkedIn personal branding package size with me to amplify the scale and output of the work I’ve been doing. Always a good sign when clients say “Let’s do more together!”

🎙️ Took a daytrip to London to appear on James Lamb’s new podcast. Honoured to be his 2nd guest. I spoke all things freedom-building, lifestyle businesses, self-belief, unconventional careers and of course, LinkedIn.

😅 Jumped on my first and very chaotic LinkedIn live (+ overshared, iykyk) with my pals Hannah del Herrera, Karla McNeilage and Louis Butterfield.

📧 Grew my email subs by 200+ founders, marketers and business leaders. Welcome!! I’m really focused on adding insane value. So if you want all my best LinkedIn personal branding insights & breakdowns, subscribe: https://lnkd.in/eVKs-RrT


Negatives:

- I got caught in a 3-day flood in Lombok (an island near Bali) and had to wade through muddy floodwater barefoot to get to the gym / cafes / coworking spots. (By day 3, it was just part of the daily routine 😂)

- I got 2 invites for speaking gigs this summer at big marketing events and BOTH were on the same day. Had to decline one. What are the chances?!?

- I had to end a potential client call because a founder (who wanted me to build his brand) said, "even though you're in Bali, I'd expect you to fully work on a UK timezone to accommodate my diary." Dude... you HAVING A LAUGH?? Bye.


PS. What’ve you been upto? Win of the month?

The stupidly simple way to build a brand + win strangers’ trust

Jessie van Breugel 🟣

helped 112+ founders get leads with an AI-powered system | $2.1M in client revenue

If you're a great coach or service provider, but nobody knows you exist

read this ↓

Your clients get results. 
You know your stuff inside out. 
You've put in the years.

But here's the problem:

Your inbox is quiet. 

Your content gets crickets. You've tried cold outreach — DMs, emails, maybe even ads — and got nothing but silence back.

You're the best-kept secret in your industry. 

And it's costing you everything. Right?

You don't need another course on "how to post." 
You don't need more motivation or inspiration.
You don't need someone telling you to "just be consistent."

You need a system.

One that brings qualified leads to YOU — so you stop chasing and start choosing who you work with.

That's exactly what we built.

With Authority Figures + my 1-on-1 support, we:

— Dial in your positioning so prospects instantly "get it"
— Build an inbound content system that attracts the right clients
— Turn LinkedIn into a predictable pipeline — using AI to move fast without burning out

Here's what that looks like in practice:

— Nicholas added $32K in new revenue in 8 weeks selling his new group program.
— Tobias secured $50K in new contracts and filled out his pipeline.
— Josh closed two deals in the first 6 weeks, hitting his first $10K+ month.
— JP closed 3 clients by dialing in his content and DM strategy.
— Linda closed her first $7,5K client within two months.
— Jon signed 3 clients and got a 2X+ ROI in 3 month
— Gabi closed €15,000 in revenue in the first 4 week
— Nicola signed 4 high-ticket clients within weeks.
— Laszlo closed 3 deals within the first 30 days.
— Julius closed his first $4,5K client within 2 months.

This works best if you already have a high-ticket offer, you deliver real results for clients, and you're done being invisible.

Claude can now run tasks on your desktop while you sleep.

It's called Cowork. Here's how I use it to get leads on LinkedIn ↓

I've been testing it for the past week.

It writes posts, audits profiles, builds ICPs, does market research — all while I'm at the gym.

This is the biggest shortcut for LinkedIn I've seen in months.

But most coaches and consultants don't even know it exists.

So I built a short setup guide — from install to first result in under 20 minutes.

Claude is the smartest AI right now.

But 90% use it like ChatGPT. Steal these prompts ↓

Here's what most coaches and consultants do:

They type "write me a LinkedIn post about positioning" and then add 47 lines of "don't use jargon, don't sound like AI, don't use filler phrases."

That doesn't work.

I tested hundreds of prompts.
Build the right ones and run them.
This process alone replaced hours of guesswork.

Most people blame the AI.
The real problem is bad prompts.

So I'm giving away my top 50 Claude prompts — copy-paste version.

Use them to:

→ Attract clients from your content (not chase them)
→ Turn DMs into calls without pitch slapping
→ Nail how you talk about your offer
→ Figure out exactly who you help

• Follow (so I can DM you)

Hire Hormozi, Gary Vee & Seth Godin for $0 with Claude.

I codified their brains into 1 Mega Prompt. Steal it for free:

Comment “PROMPT” and I’ll send it to you.

This mega prompt transforms Claude into:

1. Alex Hormozi (offer creation + value delivery)
2. Gary Vee (content volume + platform strategy)
3. Russell Brunson (funnel psychology + storytelling)
4. Dan Kennedy (direct response + urgency tactics)
5. Seth Godin (Brand storytelling + Trust building)

Here’s what most people get wrong:

They use AI like a typing assistant.

𐄂 No strategic thinking
𐄂 No context setting
𐄂 No psychological depth

So their content sounds fine…
But it doesn’t convert.

Here’s what this mega prompt does:

→ Turn weak offers into hard-to-refuse ones
→ Rewrite vanilla content into lead-generating assets
→ Improve your messaging based on specific audience psychology

Instead of guessing what to write…

You get strategic input from 5 of the greatest marketing minds — synthesized into one prompt.

This is for founders, coaches, and consultants who:

– Have an offer
– Want more demand
– And are using AI but not getting leverage from it

Just structured thinking applied to your business.

I just promoted Claude over ChatGPT in my content system.

I use it to write 7 real posts < 1 hour - steal this workflow ↓

Comment “FLOW” and I’ll send you the setup guide.

99% of experts still handle LinkedIn content 1 of 2 ways:

1/ 3-5 hours wasted every day staring at a blank page 
2/ Using AI for robotic "top 5 tips" content that kill reputation

You're stuck choosing between burning your time or burning your reputation.

Until now.

This workflow now handles the heavy lifting of my ideation and drafting.

For 24+ months, I’ve tested this system with coaches, consultants and founders to dial in client acquisition on LinkedIn.

The results proved that hope is not a strategy: 

→ Scott closed a $3,500/month retainer in 7 days 
→ Tobias landed his first inbound lead in 24 hours
→ Atanas cut content creation from 4 hours down to 15 min.
→ John cut writing time in half + signed 3 retainer clients in 2 months
→ Nicholas scaled to $20k months in just 45 minutes a day on LinkedIn

The best part?

It sounds like a REAL expert with REAL results.

Better than 99% of "me-too" creators.

No more:

– Staring at a blank screen.
– Manual posting at 11 PM.
– Generic tips that get zero leads.
– Chasing clients in the DMs.

Here’s what most people get wrong with their LinkedIn Profile:

→ An overall profile score (0–100) so you know exactly where you stand

7 ways I use Claude to get leads on LinkedIn.

Not content ideas. Actual clients. Here's the system ↓

1/ Feed Claude Your Voice First
☑ Give it examples of YOUR writing (posts, emails, DMs)
☑ Upload your best-performing content
☑ It becomes an extension of you — not a generic robot

2/ Nail Your Messaging With the One-on-One Method 
☑ Brainstorm your WHO, WHAT, and HOW 
☑ Write your problem statement from your client's perspective 
☑ Messaging that resonates — not messaging that sounds like everyone else

3/ Build Your Content Engine 
☑ Batch a week of content in under an hour 
☑ Start with one core idea — ask Claude for 3-5 angles 
☑ Consistent content without spending hours daily

4/ Turn Your Profile Into a Silent Salesperson 
☑ Rewrite your headline, about, and experience around client outcomes 
☑ Use the format: "I help [who] do [what] by [HOW]" 
☑ A profile that sells for you 24/7

5/ Create a DM System That Doesn't Pitch Slap
☑ Build personalized DM sequences focused on THEM
☑ Draft 5-10 openers for people who engage with your content 
☑ Start real conversations — not copy-paste spam

6/ Build a Simple Content-to-Client Funnel
☑ Map it out: post → engagement → DM → conversation → call → client 
☑ Build a simple lead magnet (1-2 pages max) 
☑ A clear path from stranger to client

7/ Iterate and Improve Every Single Week 
☑ Drop your top and worst posts into Claude for analysis
☑ Test new hooks and revisit messaging regularly 
☑ Get better every week — not just busier

⚠️ What Claude can't do (yet): 
→ You still need to provide context for your voice 
→ You still need to bring real words and data 
→ You still need to collect and analyze results yourself

Pro tip: 
Build a "Voice Bible" doc with your best posts and phrases. 
Upload it every session so Claude sounds like you — not like AI.

This is how you stop winging it and start using Claude the right way. 

♻️ Repost to help someone save 10+ hours a week

"I never know what to write about."

Cool guys, I got you – steal this playbook ↓

It took me years to figure LinkedIn out.

But once I cracked it, I grew to 85,000 followers and built a multi-six-figure business using LinkedIn and email. 

Not by posting random motivation quotes. 
Not by using AI to write my posts. 

By having a system.

Here's what most people get wrong.

They think they have a content problem. 

They don't.

They have a system problem.

You're opening LinkedIn, staring at the blank screen, posting something random, and wondering why nobody's reaching out.

That's not a strategy.

So I put together The LinkedIn Growth Playbook — completely free. 

Just the exact system I actually use and help our clients install:

Here's what's inside:

– How I come up with weeks of content ideas in one sitting
– The key mistakes I see coaches and consultants make
– My full content creation system — step by step
– The growth tactics that took me from 0 to 85k
– Tool tips that actually move the needle

+ I included 2 of our best-performing GPTs as a bonus.

This alone will save you 10+ hours of "what should I post?" panic every week.

Comment "PLAYBOOK" and I'll send it to your DMs.

♻️ Repost so more people can grab this.

I wrote down my complete system to get clients on LinkedIn.

3 steps. 30-60 mins/day. No cold outreach ↓

1/ The “Post and Pray” Era Is Over

Most people have tried LinkedIn like this:

– Post tips → get likes
– Try trendy hooks → get views
– “Be consistent” → burn out
– DM strangers → get ghosted
– Repeat for months → nothing changes

The problem isn’t LinkedIn.
The problem is you’re posting without a system.

2/ The Real Bottleneck Isn’t Sales

If you’ve ever:

– Booked calls and got ghosted
– Had “interest” that never converts
– Felt like you’re constantly chasing

It’s not because your offer sucks.
It’s because there’s no trust.

Content fixes trust at scale.

3/ The One-of-One Positioning Method

Your first job is simple:

Make it instantly obvious who you help, what you help them do, and how you do it.

Use this one-liner framework everywhere:

I help [WHO] get [WHAT OUTCOME] by [HOW].

If you can’t say that in one sentence, your audience can’t buy.

4/ The 30–60 Minute Profile Upgrade

You don’t need a “personal brand.”
You need a profile that converts strangers into DMs.

Fix these 3 parts:

– Banner: outcome + who it’s for + clear CTA
– Headline: “I help [who] [solve what]” (+ proof/mechanism)
– About section (4 blocks): pains → solution → proof → CTA (“DM me ‘X’” or “Book a call”)

Profile checklist:

– Your offer is clear in <10 seconds
– A stranger knows what to DM you about

If they’re confused, they scroll.

5/ The Content → Client Cycle

Most people post “value.”
Almost nobody runs a cycle.

You rotate 4 post types:

1/ Value (teach)
2/ Credibility (prove)
3/ Authority (differentiate)
4/ Engagement (start conversations)

This is how you stop winging it.

And start building demand.

6/ The Messaging Metrics That Make This Print Money

Here’s the funnel:

Like → Comment → Profile View → DM → Call

Most people stop at engagement.

That’s why they stay broke.

You turn attention into conversations.

And conversations into calls.

7/ The 15-Minute Daily Follow-Up Routine

Do this every day:

– Open your last 1–2 posts
– Make a list of people who, commented, like or viewed your profile
– Start conversations (no pitching)

You’re closer to results on LinkedIn than you think.

ps. I broke down the full system here: https://lnkd.in/eabVd6z9

18 hours ago, Claude Opus 4.6 launched.

It’s so good that I stopped using ChatGPT for LinkedIn.

For months, I used GPT-5 for everything.

Content, hooks, frameworks, lead magnets.

It worked. 

But it had one problem:

– Context window was too small.
– Every conversation got cut short. 
– Long documents? Lost halfway through. I had to babysit it.

Claude Opus 4.6 fixes that.

Here's what actually matters for content creators:

1/ 1M token context window.
You can feed it your entire content library, 50 top-performing hooks, your full brand voice doc, AND a 90-minute YouTube transcript — all at once. It doesn't forget halfway through. It just holds steady.

2/ It pushes back.
If your hook is weak, it tells you. If your CTA doesn't land, it says so. You want a sparring partner, not a cheerleader. Right?

3/ It keeps YOUR voice.
This is the big one. I built custom skills inside Claude — my hook framework, my transcript clip extractor, my content-to-post workflow. It runs the whole system without smoothing out my rough edges. 

ChatGPT kept giving me "polished LinkedIn creator" voice. 
Claude gives me Jessie voice.

Here's some free sauce if you want to try this yourself:

→ Take your 10 best-performing posts. Drop them in Claude. Say: "This is my voice. Learn it. Never deviate."
→ Feed it a full YouTube transcript. Ask for 5 hooks using only phrases and examples from the transcript.
→ Then tell it to write the post — and ask it to flag anything that sounds generic.

That last step is key. 

ChatGPT won't flag its own generic output. 
Claude will.

ChatGPT is still fine for quick admin stuff.

But for deep content work — building a real content system that sounds like you?

Claude just pulled ahead. And it's not close.

You can build a $100k/year business using LinkedIn.

I just recorded a new training how – get access ↓

Comment "VIDEO" and I’ll send it to you.

Here’s what most people get wrong:

They post consistently.
They get likes and comments.
But no clients. No calls. No predictable revenue.

Why?

𐄂 Their profile doesn’t position them
𐄂 Their content isn’t designed to convert
𐄂 Their DMs feel awkward or salesy

That’s not a content problem. It’s a system problem.

Here’s what the video breaks down:

→ How to position yourself as the #1 choice
→ The 4 post types that move people from content → DM
→ The simple DM flow that converts attention into calls (without cold pitching)

Including the math behind it:
→ ~$100K/year from a small, compounding client base

This is for consultants, coaches, and service providers who:

→ Are tired of posting without ROI
→ Want inbound conversations (not chasing leads)
→ Need a clear, repeatable LinkedIn client system

I should be charging for this.

But you can audit your LinkedIn headline for free - get access ↓

Comment "AUDIT" and I'll send it to you.

Here's why this matters:

Your headline shows up everywhere.

𐄂 Every comment you leave
𐄂 Every search result you appear in
𐄂 Every connection request you send
𐄂 Every profile visit

If it doesn't say WHO you help and WHAT they get — you're invisible.

Most coaches and consultants I talk to have headlines like:

"Helping professionals achieve their goals"
"Leadership Coach | Speaker | Author"
"Passionate about transformation"

That's not a headline. That's noise.

The audit scores your headline on 5 criteria:

→ Clarity (do people get it in 3 seconds?)
→ Specificity (WHO do you help?)
→ Outcome (WHAT do they get?)
→ Differentiation (why you vs. everyone else?)
→ Credibility (proof you can deliver?)

Then it tells you exactly what's broken.

Then it gives you 3 ready-to-paste rewrites.

Time needed: 90 seconds.
