Make Your Mark: How Your Personal Brand & Story Sets You Apart on LinkedIn

 In today’s digital age, personal branding and client attraction strategies are not optional. A powerful personal brand steers your professional identity and influences the perception others have about you. It helps you earn a promotion or new job, new clients, or even your next speaking or PR opportunity. Your personal brand IS your reputation, and you need to be known and trusted as the influencer and expert you are to raise your profile both online and off. LinkedIn is THE place - online - to showcase your personal and professional story.

7 Habits Entrepreneurs Should Implement Now Before Their New Years Resolutions

 We know this year has been a wild ride due to the global pandemic, but as we’re rapidly approaching the new year, it’s time to let go of the past and start thinking about the resolutions we want to work on for 2021. Some may say that the term New Year's Resolution comes with negative connotations, and that’s due to setting unrealistic and unreasonable goals. Being entrepreneurs, we’re always trying to conquer whatever we set our minds to. It’s time for a little reality check.

Setting goals should be looked at from a short and long-term perspective. Think about what you can realistically achieve on a 30, 90, 120, and 360-day timeline. Using these four increments can help you stretch your goals out so you don’t feel overwhelmed with having to do everything at once. It’s all about easing your mind so you can actually enjoy achieving your goals. 

Now the big question is, what resolutions should you make if you want to grow your business and make big strides in the new year?

We have some ideas to consider! Here are the top 7 resolutions every entrepreneur should make in 2021:

Review Your Business Plan - It’s key to review, evaluate, and update your business plan every year, and throughout, to ensure that you’re on track to meeting your goals. Try doing it once a quarter. Remain consistent with this for both the immediate future and for the long term. 

Simplify and Systematize  - Running a successful business means being as efficient as possible. One of the best ways to do this is by systemizing as much of your business as possible. It can save you time, energy, and manpower, so in 2021 make it a resolution to review where you can be doing so.

You can create systems for training, tech requests, customer orders, team development, and so much more. If it’s a repetitive task, you can likely create a system for it to save yourself a ton of time in the process.

Make Time for Yourself  - This might be the most important resolution to make every year. Don’t be so consumed with making a living that you forget to make a life. 

As this year finishes out, keep these things in mind. It’s never too early to start a New Year’s resolution list. Just remember that when you make it, you also need to make a commitment to sticking to it!

Anything is Possible: How I Went From Not Running to Finishing An Ironman®

 Have you ever wondered what it would be like to do something you think is impossible?  "Impossible" means something different to each person - it could be a business goal or a physical goal. Growing up I was never athletic, so simply running a mile seemed impossible. An Ironman® triathlon is widely considered one of the hardest endurance races, so even attempting it was out of the question. But one day everything changed. I took a vacation that set a series of events in motion, culminating in me at the finish line of Ironman® Wisconsin.

In this session you'll hear how I went from not-very-active to Ironman® finisher, in the process redefining what's possible.

How to Change Your Mindset to See a Challenge as an Opportunity

The journey of becoming a successful entrepreneur usually starts with the shifting of the mindset. This involves a lot of self-realization and the patience to understand one’s self in relation to outside factors. One of the biggest things that many entrepreneurs may have to face is moving from seeing problems as burdensome, and instead focusing on how it could be an opportunity to improve, learn, and grow. We like to call this the ‘Millionaire Mindset’.

Shifting into this mindset will take time, but offers many benefits. For starters, it reduces stress that typically comes with any new problem. This is due to the fact that you are choosing to view your problems in a more positive light that's less intimidating and burdensome. It’s like a huge weight being lifted off of your shoulders. Secondly, it allows you to view the problem for what it really is. Instead of becoming overwhelmed with the pressure of finding a solution as soon as possible, it allows you to break down and analyze the problem with a clearer mind. Lastly, it will help you grow as a professional and an individual. You’ll adapt to problem-solving and thus become more confident doing so. 

This Millionaire Mindset doesn’t just come to one overnight. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to adopt this sort of mindset. The first step to achieving this is by being open to retraining your brain. You’re going to have to let go of old habits and be consistent with creating new ones.

Here are some mindfulness tips that work towards changing your mindset to see a challenge as an opportunity:

1. Understand that Problems Are Inevitable
2. Refrain From Making Quick Assumptions
3. Objectify the Problem
4. Focus on the Positives

Speaker Bio

Rod Smith did not start his life out as an NFL superstar.  In fact, his beginnings were very humble, as the child of a welfare family, living in the crime-riddled projects of Texarkana, where hope was scarce and few young men had the vision for any sort of future that stretched beyond jail or even death.  During his childhood, Rod witnessed his family suffer through poverty, and he saw violence and helplessness all around him and he was even the victim of unjustified suspicion based on nothing more than his race and the neighborhood he came from.
