More Referrals + Tears of Joy

He was in a real funk.

I had a conversation with a serial entrepreneur this week that might surprise you. He's had success in multiple industries, has a powerful message to share, and loves his work because he knows it's making a difference. But he shared that he was really struggling a few weeks.

The cause?

Feeling lonely and disconnected from others as an entrepreneur. It made me realize how important it is to surround yourself with the right people. Folks who share your values + face similar challenges.

People who you will support you when you need a boost.

And celebrate with you when things are going well. Others on a comparable path that will gladly share what they've learned so you don't have to learn EVERYTHING the hard way. Our conversation reminded me of how freaking grateful I am for my incredible community.

So here's 3 things that went down in the Growth Habit community this week (and what you can learn from them).  

1. More Referrals?

There's been several referrals by members of the community to other folks in the Growth Habit Crew in the last couple weeks. Some during live group calls, others over DMs, and this one in the online forum.

Do you want more referrals?

• Get really specific about what you do + who you do that for. It makes it easy for people send referrals your way.
• Embrace asking for referrals, especially from happy clients.
• Start giving more referrals. You get what you give. 
  
  

2. The Best Captioning App?

I recently got access to LInkedIn's new dedicated video feed and shared my early thoughts. One of them being that manually putting captions on your videos is a must as there doesn't seem to be a way to turn on the platform's auto-generated captions in this feed. This led to someone in The Growth Habit Crew asking for advice on what the best App is for captioning videos.

More than half a dozen people chimed in, here were the top votes:

• Captions app.
• The CapCuts app.
• And Descript on your laptop.
  
  

3. Are You Making the Most Out of LinkedIn?

This person was crying tears of joy. Why? A stranger reached out to them on LinkedIn to lead a workshop.

And that was just the start.

They received glowing feedback about their session, were invited to return next year, and got over 40 freaking referrals from the event organizer after the event.



The best part?

This coach/facilitator only started intentionally using LinkedIn five months ago + has less than 700 connections there. Are you not yet embracing the full power of LinkedIn? Here's how you get the most out of the platform.

Btw - This is Your last chance...
