Wanna know how you get closer to your goals quicker? It's not a boom and bust hack .. it's actually really simple. By acting with intention. But what does this even mean? Well for me it means ... 💭 Being focused on your goals - keep a virtual track of your goals (for me Notion is my bestie) this acts as a North Star for bigger visions. Then try to break these goals into small bitesize actions that you can work on be it on a weekly, monthly or quarterly basis. Not only does this keep you accountable but it also on a practical level helps you manage your own ambitions. ❤️ Know your values - I’m a very value driven person, they’re at the centre of what I do. I think that the closer you identify and align with your values the more you see opportunities come your way because it comes from a place of authenticity. 🚘 Moving from the passenger to the drivers seat - how are you being the main character in your life? Life is too short to be a passive extra. Believe that you can achieve whatever it is you’re wanting and release yourself from the self-limiting beliefs that don’t serve you. Be active in the decisions you make and whether it's choosing to go to an event on your own or being bold and messaging that person you've been inspired by. The last year I have been very intentional which is a whole process in itself but being clear on why I'm making certain decisions has been really helpful and makes me more in control of my life (I will caveat this by also saying that it's good to be flexible too - sometimes life will just life and that's okay). Some tips: Start small … like attending one useful event and aiming to form one meaningful connection and then compound on this over time. When you do it enough it becomes really natural. Be authentically you … it is really obvious when someone is trying to mould into something they aren't - I used to do this when I’d attend networking events at university and it felt yuck because it wasn’t me. Don’t try and contain who you are to fit into environments that are just maybe not the one.    Has this helped? What else would you add? P.s. this is a clip from the That's My Name podcast I was invited on and discussed the power of changing my name and how I've been building on my own personal brand with the incredible Maya Welford who embodies the power of being intentional in all she does. #authenticity #personaldevelopment #goalsetting #personalbranding

😎 Self-Promotion & Aspiration…… Unlock Your Potential 🎬❗️🎟 😎 It seems that some individuals doubted my authenticity when I mentioned having my own Community. I want to give a special shout-out to my supportive friends listed below. However, my community stands out from the rest. It is founded on the principles of individuality and innovation. In a world characterized by division, where trends and ideas are constantly imitated, our aim should not be to emulate others, but rather to distinguish ourselves by offering fresh styles, captivating narratives, and attention-grabbing concepts. Some might assume that I readily share all my ideas, techniques, and marketing strategies, but I prefer to maintain an air of exclusivity. Originality is my signature style, and unpredictability has proven to be one of my greatest assets.….. 😎 Consider everything you witness. I have assumed the roles of a realtor, promoter, thinker, strategist, engineer, media enthusiast, and the list goes on. So, ask yourself this: how did I achieve the numbers presented below, sustain them, and even establish a radio station, which is only a fraction of what I'm involved in? Yet, I also safeguard my private groups, which are quite substantial. So, you may wonder, why am I sharing this❓ And this is only a portion of what you are aware of; my private endeavors are equally significant. So, why am I sharing this❓ 😎 The purpose is to encourage collaboration and devise strategies to market our products, services, and even engage agents from other states. Together, we can generate exceptional ideas. However, this can only happen if we set aside our egos, and conduct business with the same integrity as when we shake hands in agreement. Let's put aside our differences, regardless of past experiences, and show respect for those who possess the courage to try. Only then can we make a positive impact within our community and amplify our collective voice…………. 🗣🔝🦻🏾👀💬🙋🏾♂️🫵🏾🎬🏌️🏾❗️🎟️ 🎩 So, I ask you, do you have a solution to the challenges outlined above... Or will you continue to be the force that seeks to undermine those who strive for success❓?❓?❓ I am the solution, even if I have to forge my own path........

The Pandemic did a number on me and I didn't even realize it until I started to "get back out there." After I parked my car, paid, stuck the receipt in my dash, strapped my heels on and closed the door, I said, "okay, Dominique', pull it together! Go in here, smile, make it a point to meet people, learn them, connect with them, be free and enjoy yourself!". 😥 whew! It can be a lot sometimes. Networking is different in a post pandemic era! I used to be a beast! Now, I'm like a little butterfly 🤪. I'll tell you though, being intentional wins EVERY time! Even before I arrived at Thinkific #ThinkInColor, I knew what I wanted to accomplish before walking in the door. One of those objectives was to make MEANINGFUL connections. Fast forward a bit...I put myself out there! Said hi! The energy was returned from Tori Lazar ! We IMMEDIATELY hit it off! I was refreshed to meet another dope soul, doing dope things, AND who also felt similar in her journey back to "getting out there"! It's always a good vibe when you can relate to someone off the rip. They just kinda "get you". That was Tori Lazar and me the other day. In-person events are triple threat opportunities for us entrepreneurs (and really ANY professional). 1. You get the professional development the event offers (this is why you came) 2. You connect with others with vision, expertise and experience in their field, who can offer more targeted resources and suggestions. This was Lia Haberman for me! We too hit it off, but Lia was so on point in her suggestions to me about LinkedIn! She freely shared with me actionable suggestions that were timely and relevant given the work I do in financial coaching. Her deep knowledge in influencer marketing definitely shone through in our brief convo! Thanks again Lia Haberman and further, it was completely confirmed by Jessica Chen moments later during her presentation! Everything in divine order. Hear it more than 2X you know you should pay attention 😉 3. You get to exercise your "getting back out there" muscles! Yet, another development opportunity. Self development. Internal work. This work is all about confidence. You know what I mean...that little pep talk I gave myself at my car, yea THAT! GET EXCITED about your next in-person event and be intentional about what you want to get out of it! #DrDomSpeaks #ThinkInColor #networkingbeast #professionaldevelopment #selfdevelopment #boostYOURconfidence #beintentional

🎙When I first started doing events as a speaker I used to be obsessed with being great and being the best Every talk had to be “THE BEST THE AUDIENCE HAS EVER SEEN” but here’s why I actually think this is the wrong way to do it Perfectionists this one’s for you xxx I booked my first speaking gig in 2019 and when I first started I would get opportunities with huge brands (protein studio’s, on running, adidas) and I’d be terrified that 1. If I fucked up or was mediocre they’d never reach out again  1. I didn’t know how to recreate these opportunities so if I fucked it, we’ll I’ve fucked it  1. Or If I fucked up it’d be the end of my career because I would have died of humiliation I would rehearse for hours ahead of a talk And if I was booked for an event and I spent any time just “being” or relaxing, my inner critic would pop up like “no we need to work harder!!!” And to be honest - this served me at the time But Here’s what’s different about my approach now as someone who’s flown to NY as a speaker 1. I know that the power is never in the audience to make or break my future success  2. If a brand reached out to me once, other brands will reach out to me again - I know the formula  3. I know that work is just “work” it isn’t the fullness of my identity, it isn’t the things my friends love me for  4. I understand that greatness comes from practise - It’s a marathon baby  I’m willing to have talks that are a bit vanilla - this doesn’t mean I won’t try or that I don’t care. It means that I know I’ll fail, forget a line, be a bit sweaty, say a joke that doesn’t land and I’ll forgive myself for every single mistake Do it scrappy. Do it messy. Do it with areas to improve and bits to work on for next time. The biggest illusion on the internet is that that the most confident people you admire are never getting it wrong And it’s really hard to take this in when you haven’t got a network of business pals to have honest, meaningful conversations about this stuff That’s why Future Self Nights we’ll be celebrating every fail like it’s the win of the century We’re going to be turning how you think about failure on its head After all, the ones that risk it are the ones that make it Friday 1st September. Mayfair. Tickets in the comments See. You. There 🥂

⚡THREAD TALKS- Inside the Minds of Amazing People! 💬 Today’s guest over on the new Threads app is the amazing Shama Hyder. Shama is the CEO of Zen Media and also a best-selling author, keynote speaker, LinkedIn Top Voice in Marketing 4X, and a Henry Crown Fellow. For your convenience, I'm sharing the interview here. #1: Hi Shama. As you know, I’ve been a big fan of your work since day one. Can you share with our Threads community who you are and what makes you tick? CEO of Zen Media - a leading b2b PR and marketing firm. Early pioneer in the social media marketing space. Mum of 2. Chocoholic. #2: Can you share a key moment or experience that fundamentally shaped your outlook on business and life? Being laughed out of rooms when I tried to share that social media would be the future - this was circa 2008. I guess it's not unfair to say I've always been a little ahead of my time. #3: What does your daily mindset practice look like and how does it contribute to your overall success? Gratitude in my highs and grace in my lows. That's what I live by! #4: As an individual who has accomplished so much, how do you approach failure and what role does it play in your overall growth? I am just here for that at-bats. More fails…but also more opportunity for succeeding. I just want to focus on the opportunities. #5: When faced with high-stress situations, what strategies do you employ to maintain clarity and focus? I re-focus on what really matters…my kids, love, breath in my lungs. I also remind myself that in 6 months, it won't matter. #6: Can you illustrate a time when your personal values or principles heavily influenced a major decision in your career? I don't write books for the sake of writing a book. I am very clear that I will write my next book when I have something to say that isn't already being said. #7: When it comes to business and life, what are you focusing on moving forward over the next one to two years? Seeing Zen Media grow bigger and stronger. The team is amazing. They make me so proud. #8: What’s the best way to get in touch with you?

How I built a powerful network just by being myself. 📹 👇 📍 Not born in London 🎓 No University Degree 🔒 Never had a 'real job' 🚫 No Startup Events 🤝 No Face-to-Face Meetings 🏝 Live on an Island A very different topic today, and it's important to remember the purpose of this platform. It certainly isn't to be a content creator; that is the worst part about it; the aim is to build a professional network that helps you to go further in your career. After I left school during sixth-from, I joined our family restaurant as a kitchen porter. I loved food, and I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge. In 2010 I started a cookery blog, that evolved into my first business, a healthy fast-food restaurant in Newcastle. Despite my unconventional route, I've created a world-class network that grows every day. How did I do it? Let me share what has worked for me. 🔑 Authenticity Wins: I believe in being true to myself and showing genuine interest in others. I share my wins and my losses, not just mindless advice. This helps people understand who I am. I pin my most painful day in business to my profile so everyone can see this. 🔑 Providing Value: I focus on giving back and providing value to people without expecting anything in return. Offering help and #support creates a positive ripple effect. 🔑 Paying It Forward: I dedicate my spare time to paying it forward, helping others without any hidden agenda. 🔑 Long-Term Vision: I don't target short-term gains or relationships. Instead, I focus on long-term connections built on trust and respect. 🔑 Clarity in #Communication: I make sure everyone knows what I'm working on and what kind of support I may need. Again, no hidden agendas. 🔑Consistency: My personal network has been growing since I opened the doors to my first #business in 2012. It sounds like a long time, but it has been the blink of an eye. Try not to burn bridges; if you do, try to rebuild them. Time is a great healer. Ultimately for me, I just want to meet with likeminded people and have cool conversations. It doesn't matter if you went to Harvard or not. It doesn't matter if you have an MBA. Nothing is stopping you. Just be yourself, be kind and be consistent. It won't happen overnight, but you can certainly start today. #founderstories #entrepreneurship #fundraisingtips

Conventional wisdom says to follow a set path, yet true fulfillment often lies in forging your own. Every meaningful endeavor is challenging. It's about selecting your type of ‘challenge.’ Recognize that every journey has its struggles, making the pursuit of personal satisfaction crucial. Achievement is never a walk in the park, despite the polished narratives on platforms like LinkedIn. But bear in mind: →Valuable achievements require effort. →Success isn't synonymous with personal contentment. For over a decade, I navigated sales and digital marketing, gaining prestige, increased income, and expansive networks. It was rigorous—endless meetings, sacrifices, and a relentless race for the top. It was more exhausting than exhilarating. Then I ventured into personal branding consulting on LinkedIn. Guess what? It's equally challenging, filled with unpredictability and risks. Yet, this challenge is entirely mine. Every triumph and setback belongs to me. So, what's your challenge going to be? If it's pursuing a structured career path, that's admirable. But remember, it's demanding, so ensure it brings you joy. Feeling unfulfilled? Carve your own path… Choose the challenge that sparks your enthusiasm and drives you to greet each day with zeal. As we pass two weeks in 2024, ponder this: What challenges are you prepared to face for true fulfillment? There's no one correct answer. But having a good look at this could revolutionize your whole approach to your career and life. ✌️ To my fellow entrepreneurs: Your digital footprint is your brand's heartbeat. If you're looking to create a LinkedIn impact and need a strategic partner, let's start a conversation. DM me "Personal Brand". #linkedingrowth #personalbranding #lifegoals
