There is no version of my future where my vision board isn't eventually a photo album.

There is no version of my future where I don’t wake up in the house I used to dream about on Zillow.

There is no version of my future where I'm not walking a film crew through my home for the Architectural Digest tour.

There is no version of my future where my audacity doesn't pay off.

There is no version of my future where all these detours don’t lead me somewhere 100x better.

There is no version of my future where I overcome this much and it doesn’t lead me somewhere beautiful.

There is no version of my future where the universe puts this much passion in my heart without it paying off.

There is no version of my future where I’m not the first millionaire in my family — and not the last one either.

Elon Musk explains exactly how Space X's Mechazilla can catch the Super Heavy booster.

On Sunday morning, Space X successfully caught a 20+ story tall rocket booster.

"This is a custom-built tower with arms that are designed to catch the largest flying and heaviest flying object ever made and pluck it outta the air."

"It'll weigh about 250 tons. We'll make that lighter over time."

"So you got a couple hundred tons plummeting at more than half the speed of sound. So this thing is still coming in really fast."

"When the engines land... it's gonna drop the velocity to basically zero and come in between the arms."

"The arms will be wide, and as it's coming in, the arms will, will close, go flush against the side of the vehicle, and the vehicle will be descending through the arms."

"The probability is uncertain, but it is above zero."

Insane.

Creating unique content for each social media platform is a lot of work. The time? Budget?

Focus on understanding your audience's needs and wants on each platform and optimizing your existing content accordingly.

If you want to grow a great personal brand that businesses can tap into its presence, focus on Brand Affinity and Alignment.

Let me break it down.

Brand affinity refers to the degree of liking or emotional connection an audience has towards a brand. It's about the consumer's perception of the brand, how they relate to it and the positive feelings they associate with it.

What brand affinity helps you achieve:
1. Brand Loyalty
2. High and quality engagement
3. Increased credibility
4. Longterm relationships

Brand alignment is about the consistency and harmony between the values, image and messaging of a brand and influencer/creator. It involves selecting influencers/digital service providers whose personal brand naturally aligns with the brand's identity, target market and objectives.

What brand alignment helps you achieve:
1. Authenticity
2. Relevance to audience
3. Great brand perception
4. The consistent image that can open up to long-term engagement causes trust to be part and parcel.
5. More attraction to the right partnerships.

This is how I have been able to work with some brands over and over again. For example, @ShowmaxKenya, @DNDi, @Oxfam, @googleafrica, @synnefa_KE, just to mention a few.

You can build an online presence that's huge, but if you don't balance between growing numbers versus attracting the right businesses/people to work with & invest in your skills, you'll be wasting your time.

This is how I have managed to grow as l earn by working with brands.

Master the AIDA Model - Create Attention, Interest, Desire and Action. How:

1. Share your skills
2. Act professionally
3. Keep learning
4. Adapt to the changes
5. Build relationships with people working behind the brands
6. Be the problem solver
7. Share your success and testimonials
8. Create time for consultation
9. Work with people who help you execute better and faster
10. Value addition:- You can never go wrong with this
11. Be open to growing together. Start with the small package they can manage as grow your monies as the business grows
12. Be strategic with collaborations. Don't only focus on short-term collaborations if there's room for long-term collaboration.
13. Negotiation:- Not all brands will manage your rates. If you genuinely want to work with a brand, be open to negotiating.
14. Build a community that grows others.
15. After a collaboration/partnership with a brand, reach out to ask for the outcome to open room for more collaborations.

Above all, have a beginner's mindset. It will help you a lot.

If you are looking to work with me, let's start our conversation. I'll help you with the different facets of digital marketing (social media marketing & management, influencer marketing, content creation & marketing). Reach out [email protected]
