  • Building a strong foundation in areas like coaching, business development, and credibility is crucial for long-term success, and social media should be a valuable tool but not the foundation.

Importance of Building Career Capital and Leveraging Social Media

Building career capital and leveraging social media are essential for long-term success. It is crucial to prioritize building a strong foundation in areas such as coaching, business development, and credibility. While social media can be a valuable brand-building tool, it should not be the foundation for enduring success. Personal brands like Conor McGregor or The Rock have succeeded because of the work they put into their businesses and their ability to self-promote. Having a large social media following does not guarantee long-term success, and it is important to focus on developing expertise and credibility.
