I've just launched a new YouTube channel!! The concept? I take real businesses struggling to stand the f*ck out, provide my positioning/branding/lead gen help, and record it all for YouTube. The first mini-series features three freelance marketers (copywriter Rob, ecommerce designer Laura, and non-fiction book coach Vicky).I hope you'll set aside half an hour to watch it through. Maybe with your morning coffee? Or lunch break? Or evening onion soup? And then, the usual "Subscribe, Like, Share" would go a long, long way too.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdNXaHHVnVntg5gpveB-5_Q***He had a successful “cushy” job in San Francisco, but when going to work every day, he noticed that something was missing.After shaking off a case of imposter syndrome, he’s now running a remote marketing consulting company in Thailand.Nigel Stevens, CEO of Organic Growth Marketing Company joins the show to discuss how you can recognize if something is missing in your career and the three business traits you should have before taking the leap!Topics covered:Why you shouldn’t let “Imposter Syndrome” affect your confidence in your abilitiesThe two big things that helped Nigel realize something was missing early in his career despite having the “cushy” jobThe importance of social proof and security when deciding to make a career changeUsing your professional network to set you up for successSome big advice on how NOT to send a cold emailWhy building relationships is so important to marketersWhy it’s important to tie your own professional story into your company’s growthReflecting back on what you ad your coworkers have accomplished in the past 1, 3, or 5 years.Nigel gives a real example of why it’s important to highlight your intangibles and how you get sh*t doneResources mentioned:Nigel on LinkedInOrganic Growth Marketing CompanyIntercomProfitWellBig CommerceUnsplashTwitchSeth Godin on Everyone Hates MarketersBrian Balfour on Everyone Hates MarketersInfluence- The Psychology of Persuasion - Dr. Robert CialdiniShoe Dog - Phil Knight***→ Buy my book: book.stfo.io→ Watch my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdNXaHHVnVntg5gpveB-5_Q→ Take my 60-second quiz: stfo.io/q→ See my pretty face on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/louisgrenier/→ Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3p4wL4r→ Leave a review on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7iEF1qovZZiaP1iRtxGARo🐔
