Just BeCause Philanthropy Consulting’s Post

4 years ago, I decided to start a video podcast. 2 reasons, 2 learnings. 1. Could I get us more business. We were an upstart saas business, and I wanted to breakthrough the marketing fakeness and talk to real people about real stuff. 2. I wanted to learn from the experiences of others who were, let’s face it, way better and way smarter than me. 😒🙂↕️ Anyway. I wanted to talk, with, well anyone! The founder. The charity organiser. The student. The dreamer. And I was lucky enough to connect with a bunch of all of the above. I chatted with incredibly interesting and quirky people, shared great stories. I also grew awareness with my business. Fast forward to today. (what feels like 6000 years later!) I miss those conversations, those moments, the human story. So, now I’m pondering. What if I started it again. Talking, sharing and listening to people on a new topic. Did you quit or get fired? No plan / planned or it just happened. Why!? What did you learn? What did you change? It’s most people’s nightmare. Yet, I’m betting if you’re reading this, you’ve experienced it. So, if you made it this far, firstly, cheers. Let me know if you’d be interested in sharing a story, on a nice podcast with tea and a fireplace. Please share with anyone that would connect or share. It could be worth a try.

Love stories, websites, solopreneurship. Ezekiel Rochat was generous enough to join me on Solopreneur Stories to share his journey into solopreneurship and the work he does as a website creator and strategist. We dive into topics including: 💖 How the origins of his career include a love story 🧠 The psychology of personal branding 🎯 Niching through experiencing, learning, and adapting 📊 Determining the right amount of clients and projects And other topics. What I love about this episode is how measured and considered Ezekiel is when exploring some of these topics. What's so important about long-form content is that it allows information to be processed with more context and, therefore, more meaning. I'm often left frustrated by just how much meaning short-form content omits, either unintentionally or deliberately. This episode was a nice antidote to that. And it felt good to shave off the layers of some of the advice and hot takes you may be all too familiar with that reliably make the rounds on social media. It was nuanced, and informative, and practical, and fun. And now it's available for you 😎 Give it a listen, share what you think, and have a great day ✌️ 🎧 You can listen to our full episode here: https://lnkd.in/eXAV4eww 💪 ***** Are you running your own operation and interested in being featured as a guest on the podcast?

Even if I work really hard at my job, my firm will let me go.  It doesn't really matter how many years I work there. It doesn’t really matter whether I am a top performer or not. What matters is that I didn’t fit their org re-model or revenue goals. This is to show that nothing is “secure”. Not even your 9-5. This is why I started working on my side-hustle despite people saying business is risky. Yes, a business is risky. But so is a 9-5. Why wait till you get laid off to start building a “personal brand”. ------ Ready for your podcast to meet the world? Watch the free training video on my LinkedIn profile.

The biggest mistake business owners make with their personal brand: They post and forget. Or they focus on just one thing. Remember, there's no quick fix pill. You will not build a personal brand in 2 weeks. If someone promises you that.. run. You need to understand it's an ecosystem. Take LinkedIn - it's a tool, yes. But there's more going on behind the scenes. For example, we do heaps of research for ourselves and our clients. We get to know each industry inside out. We understand your audience's journey. What's our ecosystem? LinkedIn. Newsletters. Podcasts. Not because it's 'right'. But because it's working for us. What's your ecosystem? 👇
