From Flashy Influencer to Real Business Owner

This realization petrified me ⬇️ A few years ago I was all about the flashy stuff. I was hustling to grow an audience, trying to find places to stay for free (cause I honestly couldn’t afford even cheap hotels), and wanting to go on fun trips. From the outside looking in, people thought I was balling, but in reality I was petrified. I knew that unless I figured out how to make a living off those things, it would be just a phase in my early 20s and eventually I’d have to grow up, get a “real” job, and wait for my 2 weeks vacation to live out my dream life. Free hotel stays and followers didn’t really sound too appealing if I was a broke 30 year old stuck behind a desk. Idk about you but I never got into this industry for a quick 2-3 year extended vacation. I got into it to create a sustainable career I could rely on. The problem was I didn’t know how. I was doing all the things people told me to, and despite having over 50k on IG, and a solid portfolio, I was still getting only free exchanges. And it took me basically hitting rock bottom with only $500 left in my bank account to realize, that ain’t it. Pitching my following Saying how great my content is Even saying who I worked with in the past CLEARLY 👏 WASNT 👏 CUTTING 👏 IT 👏 So I basically did the exact opposite of what the gurus preached. I stopped pitching my following I focused on the results I could get clients I leveraged those to make case studies of previous clients. And something crazy happened. People started treating me like a real business. Not just some wannabe taker influencer. Over the past few years I’ve refined this process into what I now call the growth creator model. If you want to see a breakdown of how it works comment “GROWTH” and I’ll send you the video! And if you like stuff like this I post a lot of it so you might want to follow along. Be blessed and stay stoked 😎🤙
