$2250 3 MONTH PERSONAL BRAND MASTERMIND MEMBERSHIP
5 readers
I started my marketing agency MWI in 1999, and stumbled my way forward until 2013. It was only then that I began to build my personal brand and engage in thought leadership, reluctantly at first, but then I realized it was a great vehicle to serve others while also growing my business. I've now been featured in over two dozen publications, I've appeared on national and international TV and radio as well as over 70 podcasts, I've written books, and delivered a TEDx talk and spoken at many more events. The best part is once I set up the right system, I could focus on helping people and the business growth took care of itself. It was selling without selling, and it generated millions in revenue for my business, taking MWI from two partners working from home to an international agency with offices on three continents.
Now I coach entrepreneurs to do what I did in masterminds like this one where we learn to grow our personal brands, engage in thought leadership, and make a difference.
Who: You, me, and 9 other successful entrepreneurs like you who are givers, have a growth mindset, and are ready to make a difference in the world. Note: Groups are limited to 10 individuals each, and your company must be doing at least $1M in revenue (if your company is under that but you really want in, contact me).
Where: Online via Zoom video call.
When: Once a month for two hours.
What: If we did nothing else but hung out and networked with each other, you'd leave each meeting saying "That was amazing, more than worth it, and I can't wait to do it again!" But you're going to walk away with so much more than that!
Before you join a mastermind I will do a 2-hour, one-on-one coaching session with you where we will:
Learn about The 7 Systems of Influence framework. I will walk you through a detailed process of how to clarify your vision, find your genius zone, and identify your ideal audience. This will give you the confidence to get started.
Develop a customized 90-day "Influence & Impact Plan" just for you, based on your vision, skills, and resources. You'll know the exact next steps to make your vision reality. You'll learn how to build a team, processes, and systems around you to create long-term, positive influence.
Create a personal brand statement. Learn how to talk about who you are, what you do, and who you do it for in a clear and concise manner that attracts attention and helps you focus on your zone of genius.
Then, each two-hour mastermind is divided into three parts:
1. Learn. 15 min presentation, 10 min Q&A - I or another expert I bring in presents on a topic related to influence. It may be how to write a book, get PR in top publications, land paid speaking gigs, optimize your LinkedIn profile, or one of a hundred other possible topics.
2. Share + Support. 5 min each participant - Share what you're working on and what's getting in the way. Other members, myself, and guest experts support by asking questions to get clarity and providing feedback and suggestions.
3. Plan. 3 min each participant - Share your next steps.
In between meetings we'll have a private online group where members can network, ask questions, and get coaching.
Through the coaching, mastermind, and group, you will be challenged about how you lead and motivate your team members, partners, customers, and how you serve others in your network. Your ideas will be put to the test and you will serve others as you share your experiences and thoughts. It will not only change the course of your life, but your relationships and your business as you create a plan to take your influence to the next level, inspire and motivate a broader audience, and create real impact.
Investment: Normally priced at $1,500 per month, as part of this pre-order campaign you can join for 50% off, or just $750 per month (3 months due up front). What you'll learn during these masterminds are the same lessons that generated millions for my business. I guarantee you will easily 10x your investment during the first six months of this program or I will personally coach you at no extra cost until you do.
Blake is a successful entrepreneur and investor, with businesses that generate over $60 million in annual revenue, and investments totaling over $150 million and he's in the group. He says:
"I'm personally inspired by other entrepreneurs who are out killing it in their respective industries, who are proving to the world that good people can be successful, and who care about helping others. This is my tribe. I get energy, motivation, enthusiasm and ideas when I'm around these like-minded entrepreneurs. Personally, I'm not inspired by the Grant Cardones and Tony Robbins of the world because they don't seem real to me. I identify most with good people, who are working hard, making a difference in their companies - who are creating companies where their people can become the best versions of themselves - professionally AND personally. I am inspired by people who help others in meaningful ways, who make an impact in individual lives naturally - who are generous and have an abundance mentality."
Blake is exactly the type of leader I want in these masterminds. Do you want to become friends with Blake and entrepreneurs like him and have their support to market your business, share your message, and make a difference by building your personal brand? Then join Blake, me, our expert guests, and the other entrepreneurs in these masterminds to create your Influence & Impact Plan to build your personal brand, your business, and yourself.
And you'll also get 50 copies of my book, "60 Days to LinkedIn Mastery," so you have no lack of what to send your clients and partners for holiday gifts. You'll get a free invitation to the book launch, and you ALSO get exclusive access to updates and an invite to join my book launch community where I'll be hosting giveaways, answering all your LinkedIn questions, and hosting LinkedIn expert guests.
Note: All mastermind members are screened to make sure that they:
- Have a business doing at least $1M per year.
- Want to build long-term businesses and NOT get rich quick schemes.
- Are community-focused.
- Are committed to their goals.
- Give more than they take.

"I've been on LinkedIn for years, and I have no idea what I've gotten out of it."
If you've ever said that to yourself, then this book will change your life.
Bold claim for a book about how to use a social network? And yet when you figure there are over 600 million professionals engaging in business on LinkedIn who don't know who you are, but soon will, the claim may be an understatement.

Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook: How to Tell Your Story in a Noisy Social World Hardcover – November 26, 2013
Gary Vaynerchuk
HarperBusiness
New York Times bestselling author and social media expert Gary Vaynerchuk shares hard-won advice on how to connect with customers and beat the competition. A mash-up of the best elements of Crush It! and The Thank You Economy with a fresh spin, Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook is a blueprint to social media marketing strategies that really works.
When managers and marketers outline their social media strategies, they plan for the “right hook”—their next sale or campaign that’s going to knock out the competition. Even companies committed to jabbing—patiently engaging with customers to build the relationships crucial to successful social media campaigns—want to land the punch that will take down their opponent or their customer’s resistance in one blow. Right hooks convert traffic to sales and easily show results. Except when they don’t.
Thanks to massive change and proliferation in social media platforms, the winning combination of jabs and right hooks is different now. Vaynerchuk shows that while communication is still key, context matters more than ever. It’s not just about developing high-quality content, but developing high-quality content perfectly adapted to specific social media platforms and mobile devices—content tailor-made for Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, and Tumblr.

Black Pawn Press
If the name sounds familiar, it's because it's a variation of the name of the publishing company used in the television series Castle. For those unfamiliar with the premise, the show featured a mystery writer who follows a police detective for research and winds up writing an entire series of books based on the cases they work on together. Having become friends during the run of the series, the imprint's founders (both authors themselves), thought they'd pay homage to the show and brought Black Pawn Press to life.

If you want to engage in thought leadership on LinkedIn in order to grow your business, find a job, or progress in your career, there are three primary things you must do:
The purpose of this book is to make it easy for you to engage in these three activities by giving you 60 tips, one tip per day, each of which takes just a few minutes to read, and in all but a few cases just a few more minutes to implement. If you spend 10 minutes per day reading and implementing what you learn in this book, you will be a master of LinkedIn at the end of 60 days. You will then be able to make connections and create content that bring you the results you want in your professional life.
These tips are based on real-world experience, not merely skimming the Help section of the LinkedIn website. I know the tips work, because they’re based on my own experience. But my LinkedIn experience today is a far cry from what it was a few years ago.
I was one of the early adopters of LinkedIn. I remember getting a business card from someone I met at a networking event, putting their email into LinkedIn, and sending them an invitation, only to have them respond angrily, “How dare you put my personal info into a public online database! What is this LinkedIn thing anyway?!”
I’m sure that guy know what LinkedIn is today. With 600 million users, LinkedIn is the largest professional social network. And yet just a few years ago if you had asked me what value I had gotten out of LinkedIn I would have had to say “I’m not sure.”
Like many people on LinkedIn I treated it like a database of online resumes. I kept mine up to date, but since I was running a business, my marketing agency MWI, I wasn’t looking for a job, and I wasn’t even sure what my goal was. Every once in a while I would use to look for someone to hire, and I would sometimes screen potential employees by looking at their profiles. That was all LinkedIn was to me.
Then LinkedIn bought the Pulse blogging network, and I had a reason to spend a little more time on LinkedIn. At the time, I was writing for Forbes and I decided to test whether an article I had written on Forbes would get any attention on LinkedIn. I copied and pasted one of my Forbes articles to LinkedIn, and was blown away when it was read 14,000 times and received hundreds of comments. This was many times the attention that same article received on the Forbes website.
I repeated this process multiple times and always, LinkedIn out-performed Forbes with the same content. And not by just a little bit, but by a long-shot.
I then began to research how to write successful articles for LinkedIn, and published unique content for the platform. I created articles that were read over a hundred-thousand times and received thousands of comments.
Then LinkedIn pulled the rug out from under me.
In late 2017 LinkedIn changed their feed algorithm and stopped displaying articles in the feed as prominently as before. Now, it was all about posts.
At this point, it’s necessary to clarify a few terms:
Feed - The never-ending stream of content that shows up when you go to LinkedIn’s homepage.
Article - On LinkedIn, this refers to what is essentially a blog post. They can be thousands of words long and include rich text editing with pictures, graphics, links, and video. When you create an article on LinkedIn this activity will show up in the feed on the homepages of your connections. That is, it will show up to a certain percentage of your connections.
Post - A post is limited to 1,300 characters. There is no rich text editing available in posts. You can upload images or video that display that the bottom of the post. You can also include links to content, and LinkedIn will automatically preview this content at the bottom of the post.
Algorithm - The automatic system by which LinkedIn determines what content will show up in someone’s feed, and what won’t. When LinkedIn changes the algorithm, marketers cry.
When LinkedIn changed its algorithm to favor posts instead of articles, I felt like I had been robbed. I was just getting the hang of articles and attracting real attention!
No matter, one must carry on, so I began researching how to succeed in the feed. I came across an instructive blog post by Josh Fechter, who had generated millions of views on his LinkedIn posts, and dove in to see if I could duplicate his success.
Fechter’s posts followed a certain format.
Every sentence was on a separate line.
Each sentence was short and punchy.
He started out with something catchy like “It was the worst day of my life.”
Then he would go into detail and tell a story.
There was always a story.
Then he would tie it up in a nice lesson that was helpful and inspiring.
There were no images, no links, and no video.
Just plain text.
He also focused on getting comments, which drive virality on LinkedIn (more about this later in this book).
I copied his format, well enough that I enjoyed similar levels of success. I was also able to create posts that attracted millions of views. Fechter’s writing format because known as “broetry,” and I mastered it to the point where both he and I were featured in a Buzzfeed article where a professor of poetry at College of the Holy Cross critiqued our work.
I was praised for my “concise and direct language” and how “the tension between the direct and professional tone and the latent emotional underpinnings of this poem spark an explosive recognition — the speaker, though he had failed at balancing family and career, has been granted a second chance.” The professor ended by stating “...we as an audience share in his joy as the speaker continues to invite us into the conversation and asks us whether we too have struggled with the very same questions this speaker raises.”
My posts resulted in far more than literary praise. I found clients for my marketing agency, MWI, or rather, because of my content clients found me. I created an entirely separate, 6-figure business from the attention I gained on LinkedIn. I received paid speaking invitations. And of course there were all the new friends and relationships I built.
I suppose there was nowhere to go but down. No sooner had I enjoyed a few months of success with my posts on LinkedIn, getting hundreds of thousands of views on even the worst of my short-form content, then LinkedIn changed the algorithm once again. This time, native video was where they began to funnel the vast attention of the network. However, while plain text posts have never quite regained the glory, they weren’t killed the way articles were, and as of the publishing of this book once can still gain a respectful amount of attention with nothing more than plain text posts.
If one thing is certain, it is that LinkedIn will change the algorithm in the future, and once again, marketers like myself will cry themselves to sleep, only to remount the next day and continue the battle for attention.
This book is designed to help you with short-term tactical information that may change, but also long-term tips that will work as well 50 years from now as they do today, regardless of how LinkedIn changes.
The 60 tips contained in this book, as well as the bonus tips from our guest authors, are organized into five sections.
In the first section, you’ll find general tips focused on your mindset. Read these tips first.
In the last section, you’ll find more general tips, but that are only applicable once you’ve processed the rest. Read these last.
The middle three sections correspond to the primary areas of activity listed at the beginning of this introduction, that is; profile optimization, quality connections, and compelling content.
If you’re an absolute beginner, read this book front to back, one tip per day. If you are closer to the expert side of the spectrum you’ll find this book to be a helpful reference, and you may pick up a few pro tips you hadn’t thought of.
I hope that regardless of your level of expertise on LinkedIn, you will find this book helpful, interesting, and perhaps even entertaining.
Enjoy!
Sandra Long, author of LinkedIn for Personal Branding: The Ultimate Guide, recommends using first person language consistently throughout your entire profile.
1st person is when you say “I did this…”
3rd person is when you say “Tommy did this…” when talking about yourself.
“1st person should be used liberally within your profile sections such as education, experience, volunteering, projects, and summary,” Long says.
Writing in the first person is personal, friendly, warm. Writing in the third person is formal, stiff, professional, cold, distant. It makes your LinkedIn page sound like a Wikipedia entry.
If you care about creating meaningful relationships on LinkedIn (which is what the vast majority of those I’ve surveyed say they want) then write the way you speak, as though you were meeting an old friend in a cafe to chat.
When you’re writing your bio or summary on LinkedIn, make the first three lines count, because that’s all people see at first until they expand the view. This applies to both mobile and desktop. If you don’t hook the viewer with what’s in the first three lines of your bio, they’re not going to read the rest. You might be saying amazing things in the middle or at the end of your bio, but if people aren’t reading them, it doesn’t matter how amazing they are.
So what should you put in those first three lines? It depends on who you are, but think about these questions when writing your opener:
- What is your goal?
- What is your genius zone, the thing that makes you special or gives you an unfair advantage?
- Who is your audience?
- What content (i.e. words, phrases, ideas) will trigger their interest and get them to expand your summary to read the rest of it?⠀
Nathan Hirsch, CEO of the virtual assistant marketplace Freeup, says "Think of your LinkedIn bio as your personal elevator pitch. If you connect with someone on your LinkedIn profile and they visit your page, what do you want them to know within the first 10 seconds? Who are you? Who do you help? How do you add value to the world?"
Sandra Long, author of LinkedIn for Personal Branding: The Ultimate Guide, coaches her clients to think of the LinkedIn Summary as more of an introduction. “The word ‘summary’ might prompt people to create a historical type overview which is often repetitive and boring for the reader.”
Oooh, I know some people are going to disagree with me on this one.
Sometimes I get flack for saying you should connect to lots of people on LinkedIn. People assume I want you to connect with anyone and everyone.
That is NOT what I’m saying.
What I say is that if you have valuable knowledge, you have an obligation to share it with as many people as possible.
Imagine you had the cure for cancer. Would you say "I only want to share this with people I've met in person."
No way!
You'd try to get it to every single person in the world who has cancer or who might know someone who has it.
Granted, you don't have the cure for cancer, but if you have something that can help someone else, even in a lesser way, you still have the obligation to share it with as many people as possible. That means max out your profile at 30K connections and then attract followers on top of that.
So make lots of strategic, high quality connections, and then share your knowledge about sales, marketing, operations, HR, coding, psychology, or whatever it is that is your genius zone. The world needs you.
I think the guys at Publishizer wanted me to use this update feature several times during this campaign, but...well, here we are :)
Great news, …
