Consume: When you run out of ideas, you consume
1. See what your potential clients are doing
2. See what people in your field are doing
3. Read articles/books, listen to podcasts, and watch videos on the topic that you are interested in
4. Movies and TV series for aesthetics, for human interactions, for learning different cultures

Create: Create when you feel like it, but sometimes you should also push yourself to sit down and create and be consistent
1. Create what you are good at
2. But you can also create something that is outside your specialty just to get inspired
3. You may even incorporate something new into your current skills!
4. Create an online space where people can find you (whether it be IG or personal website)

Connect: Connect with like-minded people, but also connect with people whom you never thought of wanting to meet, you never know what you can learn from them!
1. Go to networking events
2. Connect with people on LinkedIn and other social platforms

Connect: Also connect your then and now to tell your own story and find people that resonate with you!
1. Share your struggles and how you overcome them
2. Share your wins and what you’ve done to get there

Contact: What’s the point if you have a list of contacts and never reach out? Contact them! Create your opportunities!
1. Send a nice message to your clients and see what they are up to
2. Add a personal note when adding new LinkedIn connections to build genuine relationships
3. Don’t hesitate to reach out to people for help
4. Also reach out to people when you think you can help them

At a networking event:
“Wow, your idea is awesome!”
“Let me check out your website!”
“I’d love to share it with everyone!”

A few moments later…(browsing the website, the design looks generic and I’ve seen this stock photo elsewhere!)

“hmm…that’s cool…haha” (maybe the startup is not as good as I expected, I can’t feel the connection between what they say they can deliver and what I see on their website…they are not matching…)

“Anyways, it was nice chatting with you! All the best to your business!” (it’s time to walk away and chat with some other people!)

**AWKWARD**

This is what will happen when you don’t have a website with intentional photos that pair hand in hand with your value proposition!

The first pitch deck is the one that you show to potential investors, the second pitch deck will be your website!

Don’t let your website be the reason to lose sales! it’s better to have no website than a bad one that leaves an unprofessional/still-in-progress/non-client-oriented impression…

Solopreneurs, we are also here for you! 😉 https://notjustaheadshot.com/my-solo-business/

About a week ago, I attended a panel discussion at a startup networking event.

There were four panelists on the stage, I can’t really tell who is who as I sat pretty far away from the stage and all of them were wearing a mask.

So my attention was naturally drawn to the person who had the best profile picture on the big screens next to them.

Here’re some thoughts:
1. Imagine you’re at a panel session as a speaker/panelist, and your photo is blown up on the screen… But your photo on the screen looks old, outdated, and pixelated… – Does it truly reflect you and your company? Can do better than that?

2. Your first impression counts! Especially when you are the face of the company!
Imagine a potential investor/client who’s sitting far away from the stage and they can’t see your body language up close.. All th樂威壯 ey have to rely on is the image on the large screen!

3. People are normally drawn to nice things. When you have a nice profile picture, it gives you the chance for people to pay attention to you a little bit longer (just think about how short our attention span is these days…). And when your speech is also amazing, you win their heart!
