Here’s my experience:

  • I’ve built multiple businesses off the back of LinkedIn.
  • I’ve attracted numerous board and committee positions.
  • I’ve become a magnet for unique opportunities.
  • I’ve connected with amazing people and businesses.

And I am a complete moron.

  • I got below average in English in high school.
  • I was put in alternative education when I was 16 years old.

I don’t have a business degree, writing degree or any sort of ‘qualification’ to be successful in anything I am doing now.

“You must have had help from mummy and daddy.”

Wrong.

My parents are immigrants and working class. They have a year 9 education and have worked in blue-collar professions their whole life. They couldn’t afford to send me to an elite private school or fund my businesses.

They had nothing else to give me besides their love and care (which is a lot more than many people get).

So if an unqualified idiot with no networks or money like me can do it, then you can too.

Here’s how.

Sidenote: I took Justin Welsh’s course (affiliate link) which helped transform my LinkedIn. I get paid if you buy this course. But I wouldn’t endorse anything I don’t use myself.

Step 1: Understand your mindset

Brainwash yourself.

That’s right. I said it.

If you have to chant mantras every morning while you take a cold shower, or repeat daily affirmations, do it.

Most pre-reject themselves from ever being successful on LinkedIn.

  • “I am not an expert.”
  • “I am afraid of what people will think of me.”
  • “I don’t want to be the center of attention.”

No one is an expert. People will judge you anyway. You’re going to have to get used to the attention.
