What does building a personal brand mean to you? Something is not quite right. For the last 6 months, I've been praising everywhere the positive impact of Twitter, especially when you make the transition: Passive Scroller → Active Creator And I get it, the whole narrative

“Money Twitter” has run out of money. I’m going to say it, “Money Twitter” is a Ponzi scheme. Grow an audience Create a newsletter Sell a digital product Sounds reasonable in theory, but in practice is just people talking about how to grow on Twitter. It has no more depth.

The solution. The Japanese concept Shu-Ha-Ri. The 3 learning stages. Shu → "Obey" Learn the fundamentals. At this stage, the student follows the teacher's instructions, WITHOUT QUESTION. Coping faithfully. Doing this for a long period of time.

Zero followers. We only have 30 minutes a day to build a Twitter audience. That's the challenge. So we have to be strategic: You can’t write daily essays or tweet 10 times a day. Takes too long. Instead, we’ll focus on the 3 areas that bring the highest ROI:

A personal brand isn't just social media followers. Is the way you treat the waiter in a restaurant. Is how your friends talk about you when you are not there. Is the feeling you leave after having a talk with someone. Take care of your online and offline personal brand.

The second stage is, Ha → "Break Away" Developing our own style. This is where we start experimenting with new ideas and innovating. Combining new concepts and adding to the fundamentals already learned in the Shu stage.
