The Insiders Scoop Podcast with Faisal Shah & Salina Yeung

It takes a lot to keep yourself out there in front of your audience when you become an entrepreneur and enter the business world.

This can be daunting, especially with so many other businesses popping up every day nowadays.

When so many people are saying the same thing at the same time, how can we stand out?

Well, my friend, you can start by choosing to speak a different language than your competitors.

Developing your unique voice is something every entrepreneur should do. 

You can share your unique experiences and knowledge that no one can, but Y.O.U.

In order to recognize your own voice, you do not have to be award-winning, critically acclaimed, or have verified credentials.

During today's episode, I will share with you how you can find your own voice and improve your online presence for the new year.

So, you've filled out all the steps needed to complete your LinkedIn profile, and it looks stunning.

However, when you scroll back up to your headline you see just a boring "job title + company name".

When we fail to create a great first impression, how do we stand out from the crowd?

Your LinkedIn headline is just as important as the rest of your profile.

It’s actually one of the most visible sections, and it’s where describes who you are, what you’re trying to solve and who you’re serving. 

So, I'm guessing I don’t need to tell you that a boring and plain headline will decrease your chances of getting visible and attracting your next dream clients, right?

Did you know that optimizing your headline on LinkedIn is one of the most important steps you can take when it comes to SEO?

You can also make your LinkedIn headline more effective and attract more clients by being highly conversion-focused.

In today's episode, I will show you precisely how you can turn a boring headline into a stellar one using my favorite formula that will help you stand out from the crowd.

Raise your hand if you have never been tempted to postpone or choose trivial activities instead of meaningful ones?

Despite knowing that we have important tasks to complete in our daily lives, why do we put off those tasks intentionally?

It's true that there are some people who procrastinate more than others, but, at the end of the day, we all need a personal system to achieve the goals we set out for ourselves.

Ask yourself these questions: Am I spending too much time on social media? Am I doing enough during the day? Do I have a morning and evening routine?

To get started, you can establish an organized routine that works for you. 

Whether it's deciding what time of the day you'll go to the gym or waking up early in the morning, this is a must.

Set up some habits and goals in your life.

And whenever it feels the right time, reevaluate.

Take the first step to achieve your goals and get started.

In today's episode, I'm thrilled to welcome Melisa Meral, a Productivity Consultant and Professional Organizer. Known as the Marie Kondo of San Diego, her book ‘Pivoting with Purpose’ reached Amazon's Best Sellers 2020 list.

It's critical to start building trust and credibility among your customers when starting your business.

Well, my friend, that's why I'm here for you.

REPEAT after me: I’m no longer available for things that make me feel like SH*T! 

When was the last time you caught yourself comparing yourself to someone else?

Have you ever heard of a term called "Comparionitis"?

It means the compulsion to compare one’s accomplishments to another’s to determine relative importance. 

You don’t care whether it’s a friend or someone you look up to, you always think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. 

You’re on a never-ending cycle that leads nowhere, my friend!!

What if I tell you that there are no criteria to compare?

Everyone is unique and walks in their own path.

Break the cycle of comparison, live life on your own terms.

Comparison is the REAL B*TCH!

Gimme a sign if you agree 

But seriously, protect your energy, liberate your headspace and raise your self-worth so radically that you’ll never let comparison ROB you of your happiness again.

Because you and I know…

You’re bloody AMAZING! 

You don’t deserve anything but da BEST!

In this episode, I will share with you 5 ways to stop comparing yourself to others, why are you doing this to yourself and how to define your own success.
