Austin, Our New Leader to Follow on LinkedIn, is sharing with us some great content on his Moral Story!
"The first six months of my job search were brutal.
No replies, no results, no interviews.
But I stuck with it…
The first ten networking calls I booked were awful.
I was awkward, self conscious, and didn’t get any results.
But I stuck with it…
The first three months of my freelancing career were a total bust.
I sent over 500 cold emails and only booked one pitch, which I totally blew.
But I stuck with it…
The first four business ideas I had completely failed.
I’d sunk hundreds of hours into each of them.
But I stuck with it…
My first few months of posting on LinkedIn were like shouting into the void.
I posted, hardly anybody engaged.
But I stuck with it…
My job search paid off with an offer from Microsoft that doubled my salary.
I got better at networking and landed conversations with industry VPs and high value prospects.
My cold emails eventually generated multiple six figures worth of clients for my freelancing.
And my consistent posting helped me take my LinkedIn following from 3,000 to over 1.2M+ today.
That audience helped me start my business Cultivated Culture, which I took full time three years ago.
Moral of the story?
Stick with it."
