Being an Influencer Starts in Your Circle

You don’t need a following to be an influencer. - I spoke to this point a little yesterday on my stories but I thought it was worth sharing here too. I hate the word influencer. I think it has the connotation of selfish self serving people that snap selfies everywhere and are shallow at best. But I want to turn that definition on its head. - In my opinion an influencer is anyone who makes a positive influence in their circle. For some, like me that may be instagram, but for most, it’s something else. And that’s great. Don’t feel like you have to build a following to share a message. Some of the biggest influences in my life have 0 followers and I’m sure you could say the same for yourself as well. - I have an instagram following but I also have other circles where I can be an influence which are often times more effective. Nothing beats a face to face conversation or a phone call or a text. Literally one of those could change a persons life. - So understand that even if you don’t have a following doesn’t mean that you aren’t an influencer. You are always influencing, whether for bad or good, someone is looking up to you. Now it’s up to you to take advantage of the opportunity. - Be blessed and stay stoked 😎🤙 - • • • • • • #hawaii #passionpassport #nakedhawaii #eclectic_shotz #earthfocus #sunset #adventureculture #nature #earthpix #neverstopexploring #stayandwander #travel #awesomeearth #旅行 #sonyalpha #soft_vision #roamtheplanet #beautifuldestinations #bestvacations #ourplanetdaily #景色 #travelstoke #自然
