JP Sears: How to Build a Brand & Social Media Empire [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]
Disruptors
Big Tech Treats Us as Children
"I'm grateful as hell for big tack. They've brought us so much benefit," he says of social media. "But i think we need to grow up and stop sitting back and positioning ourselves as children." He urges people to build their own platforms where they can be 'sovereign' on the internet.
Lifecoach, internet sensation and hilariously funny comedian, JP Sears joins the show again today to talk about how the pandemic has impacted him and his comedic career. Together, they discuss the importance of using your brand for good, why multiple streams of income offer both security and opportunity and why the goodness of humanity is the strongest force of nature.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- If your brand is not changing that means it is not growing. Use your brand as a force for good. As the world continues to change your brand may shift and evolve along with you. Taking risks is a huge step to growth, relatability and desirability for you and your brand.
- Necessity is the mother of business. One of the blessings of covid is that it has brought people's attention to where it needed to be. The importance of having multiple streams of income has become more apparent.
- Having multiple streams of income is security and opportunity. Know where your values are and where you should focus the large majority of your attention. You can then focus small amounts of time on other income-generating tasks that offer you security so that if something hits one of your income sources, you are still financially secure.
- Self-responsibility and sovereignty have to be the backbone of anybody on social media. Don’t let social media be your backbone, or else you might break your back and you are not going to be as robust as you can.
- Stay playful and childlike. As you get older, become more of a child than you already are. Let yourself be full, be goofy and worry even less about what people are thinking of you. The older we get, the more maturity we have to allow ourselves to be childlike.
- When you look around at humanity, you will see so many brave people who are awake and who are brave enough to get their points of view from themselves. The goodness of humanity is the strongest force of nature. The force of good that naturally flows through people is flowing strong.
