Are you a job seeker, looking to get back to #work? Perhaps someone who is looking to #change#careers.
I was in a similar position, only I had not even got my Cv prepared. with a 10 year gap of employment, I knew I had little or no chance.
I took to linkedin trying to brush up on some of my technical skills. Previous to that I had touched base with a friend who had been unemployed for over a year, I knew he had a keen eye for photography, I suggested he sets up his own business but he returned "I do not know anything about #marketing. Marketing is everything?"
So I decided to learn as much as I could and pass on my knowledge to him. I ended up connecting to marketers through commenting on a post that really got under my skin. It was a photo of a girl with Downsyndrome smiling. Why would that get under your skin? Because there was talk of a having a #disabled magazine.
Having a down syndrome brother and knowing how he has always wanted to fit in, was the driver I needed to make my very first comment on linkedin. All I said was "why do need a disabled magazine ?"
I had no idea that one comment of mine, would lead to me receiving many job offers and partnerships. Ofcourse I put the hours in. I attended many seminars, I networked and I also tried my hand at open connect. I responded to tags and I also followed and commented under others comments that resonated with me. I also made a list of all those who had a service to offer. It was not just a list of people but a little about them. Consistently I posted for 2 years and I even joined the New York Magazine.
In less than 4 months my Dms were overflowing to the point, I was no longer coping with the demand, I rejected so many offers of jobs and #partnerships, it almost became embarrassing. People thought I had lost the plot, what was I doing this for? My driver was Never money, I saw a need and wanted to fulfil it. I followed my passions which was not just one, There was music and culture at weekends that I posted about, I had one day when I specifically talked about cooking. Other days I posted a poem or a story. I shared my lessons learned, That sort of thing.
You could say I ended up setting up iandyoumatter as a byproduct of trying to help a friend understand more about marketing.
But my real why was to bring all those together who were here to make a difference. I did not want anyone entangled with me, Why I often introduce people to my other #friends I think they have something in common with.
Conclusion: It helps if you have a purpose bigger than yourself. What other conclusions did you reach?
Now I am looking forward to the next stage! Today I put up this post. I already have 2 people interested.
Would you like to improve on your communications skills? Looking to meet new people and want to make a difference?
As promised, I have revised my calendly availability to 1.5 days a week. In the coming months,. I need to focus on getting my solution documented so when my 90 day recording is ready, I am ready to deal with the demand.
in the mean time., I am looking to train 5 people on how to run the workshops I have been told should be aimed at the corporate world and looking to charge upwards of $5K. Not that my heart is in that. I want to help all those who are here to make a difference, grow efficiently and join those hands together. Creating a happier workforce that works along their passion and purpose. So if you like facilitating or see yourself in another capacity to help run these, then I am happy to consider you for this. Done correctly, this can even help the job seekers.
I will not be charging to train you up but in exchange I have one request, That when you are receiving an income from replicating my model, we agree that you pay me a percentage in return. We are not looking major, I was thinking about 10%.
How we go about doing this across diversity and inclusion, Is why I have insisted on value exchange. If anyone has any ideas, feel free to approach me and perhaps we can have a conversation.
Lets' build the future!
So if you are interested in learning more drop me a DM or comment below and lets get the ball rolling. This is a limited offer. The Deadline for application is 1st of July 2023.
