Holidays are great to recharge, and that’s what I have been up to for the better part of the last 6 weeks💃🏽.

Farniente… Doce fazer nada (PT😁?)… or at least doing as little as I could get away with. And while I am not quite yet done with that, this LinkedIn notification I received earlier this week was quite a pleasant surprise🙌🏽.

I am genuinely thrilled to be recognised as a #topvoice in this crowded yet amazing #linkedin community. And more so because I never intended to have a ‘voice’. It was more out of confusion that I started posting on LinkedIn to ask questions and get feedback on payment topics from other experts…. Little did I know how this would in turn propel my visibility and create an organic demand for my services💥.

Everyone shows up on LinkedIn for different reasons, but for me and any #entrepreneur #solopreneur smallbusiness owner, or #independentconsultant, LinkedIn is so essential to connect with clients, build our brands or find opportunities. The visibility and exposure this platform has given me have helped amplify my reach and build my business credibility, Paypr.work [ˈpeɪpəwəːk].

This is why this recognition matters and I am not just going to brush it off as a vanity recognition 😬✌️… I know it might still sound a little vain, but it feels really good to be acknowledged for showing up and doing my thing, even when I didn’t feel like it or when it felt like nobody was taking notice 👀.

So to anyone on ‘a journey’, keep showing up, keep doing ‘you’ because consistency, authenticity and dedication will get you where you need to be… in your own time, and in your own way. You just need to trust the process😬!

Huge huge thanks to everyone who have cheered, supported, comforted, helped, cared, trusted, mentored, and coached me to where I got personally and professionally…
