If you want to build a network, an audience, and a tribe of like-minded peers, you need to learn how to influence people.

Have you ever noticed somebody in the field you’re in (or aspire to be in) just come out of nowhere?

Whenever you see someone make a meteoric rise, know that it’s often planned well in advance.

You can’t become an influencer without…influencing people.

It’s a delicate art, not a blunt instrument. Master it and the world is yours.

Stick with me and I’ll show you everything I know…

Lead Your Tribe

Kevin Kelly says if you can find 1,000 true fans — people who love your work and will buy anything you make — you can have a full-time creative career.

A tribe is nothing more than a group of people who share the same values and want to follow the same mission.

Finding yours is the key to…everything.
