Have you ever read this powerful book. Inspired by the book I'm currently listening to by Daniel Priestley Why the Order Matters [the 5 steps FIRST comment] Let me be honest with you: for a while, I was a ghost online. 👻 I kept wondering why I didn’t have clients or why my partnerships weren’t working. The truth? I hadn’t yet followed a structured process to position myself as an authority in my field. This is where Daniel Priestley’s 5-step framework comes in. These steps must be followed in the right order to build a strong foundation. Believe me, once you respect this process, everything changes. Not only will you attract clients, but your collaborations will finally become productive and impactful. One last tip before we dive in: a book is an incredibly powerful tool to earn the respect of future partners. It’s a solid proof of your expertise and credibility. The 5 Steps to Becoming a Key Person of Influence (KPI) 1. Pitch: Clarify Your Message 🎤 Everything starts with your pitch—your ability to clearly explain who you are, what you do, and why it matters. - Why is this important? If people can’t quickly understand your value, they won’t dig deeper. - How to do it? Your message must be simple, focused on the problems you solve for your audience, and captivating enough to grab attention. If your pitch is confusing, even the best content or offer won’t make an impact. Start here. 2. Publish: Become Visible Through Content 📝 Testing your pitch (Step 1) will help refine what you publish. Once your message is clear, you need to publish content to establish your expertise. This could be articles, videos, LinkedIn posts, or even a book. - Why publish? Publishing helps you step out of the shadows and positions you as an authority in your field. - An example: Even a well-thought-out article can attract opportunities and clients. If you want people to respect you as an expert, your content is your business card. Without it, you’ll remain a ghost. 👻

I look forward to connecting with more awesome individuals. With the theme of this group... We're all on Skool, and I believe most of us have communities for connecting with our audiences and growing our businesses, so this is exactly the kind of group I want to be part of. I know @Stephanie Hetu is perfectly suited to facilitate a group like this because I see how active and engaged she is in other awesome communities that we're also in, so I know she has everything it takes to host an incredible community of her own and I'm glad she finally has one for English speakers! What I find particularly fascinating about Stephanie is that alongside her technical expertise for supporting businesses, she also deeply intuitive and embraces spirituality and energetics in her business. I discovered this when she shared how she uses a pendulum and channels much of what she intuitively does for clients. That's just fascinating! As for myself... I'm here in Thailand, but I'm from California. I'm an advocate for embracing the inner journey in business. I believe that intentions and energetics are foundational and very beneficial for all businesses, but most information is about processes and strategies rather than the important internal aspects of a business. If you also like to express your ideas and and chat on public posts about business growth... I look forward to conversing with you too!

Something interesting about me? I'm also a stand-up comedian and recently went skydiving!

Say hello to @Marcel Petitjeant And @Joseph Kahn Who just joined us here. Feel free to introduce yourself and tell us where you are from and what you like about Skool!

So far, I've tested : - Asking people to help me pick leaderboards level names - Asking to brainstorm on the name of a paid community (in the free one) And people are loving it. It's a very simple way to make them feel part of the process. For example, in one of my community, they named level 6 "Queen simplicity". And now, every time someone reaches it, they congratulate each other saying they are now also a Queen simplicity. Letting your community come up with the names they are going to name themselves inside the group is very powerful to create a feeling of belonging. Let me know if you tried this!
