How did Felix Lee get 17,000+ mentors and have thousands of sessions booked per month for his services? π€π₯πΌ
ποΈπͺ In ep 40 of #ctrlaltcareer podcast, co-founder and CEO of adplist.org, Felix Lee shares his incredible journey towards building entrepreneurship, from starting small to achieving big.
π₯ Here's a snippet of some lessons I took away -
1οΈβ£ When reaching out to potential connections and #mentors, don't be afraid to send cold messages and aim high by contacting senior professionals who can greatly impact your career.
2οΈβ£ When #coldemailing for #networking purposes, demonstrate your passion, establish relevance between your goals and their expertise, and make it easy for them to help you by keeping the communication brief and efficient.
3οΈβ£ Your #personalbrand and influence are invaluable assets that can't be taken away. While companies and money can be lost, focus on building your influence and reputation.
4οΈβ£ When growing your audience on platforms like LinkedIn, identify how you want to be known, create content that resonates, and prioritize consistency and value over metrics.
5οΈβ£ Building a product doesn't always require complex technology. Felix and adplist.org, for example, initially started with Google Sheets, proving the value before expanding based on user needs.
And so, so much more.
