If it's true that we are the average of the 5 people we surround ourselves with, how do we up our game? We don't necessarily have to dump the friends we hang out with, but I have 5 things I am going to challenge you to do in the coming year to grow personally and professionally!

Showing up every day and sharing content in one way or another over time establishes you as an expert or authority in your field. Whether you have just started your business or you have been at it for years, you have to share your journey and your expertise for others to consider your authority. 

Blogging, creating video content, social media posts and even podcasting will help you get your expertise out. This episode shares ways to do that.

When we think of influencer marketing we picture one of the Kardashians holding up a handbag or perhaps LeBron James sporting a pair of shoes, but there is so much more to influencer marketing than going after the pricey celebrity endorsements. 

I'm explaining how you can develop relationships with micro-influencers for more power and often for little or no money.
