Unlock your personal brand - while you have a 9-5

Hello again, long time 😅

Hope you’ve been well! Before I briefly touch on why I’ve been MIA I want to let you know the new direction of this newsletter. 

I’ve been making content on the future of work and working towards a life of financial freedom for years now and, while it’s been fun, it’s time to go a level deeper.

I truly believe we will all be at our happiest and most fulfilled when our livelihood is not at the mercy of one company - whether that’s through starting a business/side hustle or having a diversified investment portfolio. 

I believe one of the biggest catalysts to getting there is building a personal brand - hence why I’ve been so bullish on that front. 

Only problem is that takes time, and most of us work full-time and/or have other pressing responsibilities... But what if you could build a powerful personal brand without sacrificing your day job or responsibilities?

More on that below, but first I’ll quickly (re)introduce myself.

👋🏾 I’m Peace. Roughly one year into my corporate tech career, I realised the traditional path wasn’t for me. Starting an online business opened my eyes to the possibilities of financial freedom through personal branding, business ownership, high-income skills and leveraging the new economy.

I realised we’ve been misled (intentional or not, that’s a debate for a different day) by the school system and by people who built their own career strategy to thrive in an economy that doesnt exist anymore. 

This is why I want to dedicate myself to helping you do one of the most high ROI activities to thrive in the new economy. I want to help you build a personal brand that gives you freedom and leverage - whether that’s to launch a side business, become a thought leader or future-proof your career - all without quitting your job or feeling overwhelmed.

Introducing The 5-9 Creator Newsletter! Moving forward, this free weekly newsletter will include:

• One Content Breakdown: I’ll analyse a high-performing short-form video so you can learn what’s working, why it works and apply it to your own personal brand’s content strategy (btw it’ll always be formats that are low effort to recreate)

• One AI/Productivity Hack: An actionable tip or tool to cut down your content creation workflow time without sacrificing quality. Seeing as we’re juggling a lot, we might as well get resourceful!

I’m excited to help you create content that grows your personal brand without consuming all your time. If that sounds like something you could benefit from, then yay - you’ll be hearing from me again next Wednesday!

If it doesn’t, that’s completely cool - you can hit the ‘unsubscribe’ button at the bottom and I hope our paths can cross again soon ❤️

Until next time,

- Peace ✌🏾

P.S If you’ve managed to make it this far and are actually wondering where I’ve been, it’s not been the best year healthwise (to say the least). The quote “tomorrow isn’t promised” took on a whole new meaning when I realised it means “tomorrow as you know it isn't promised”. Now I’m somewhat coming out the other side, I have never had so much fire to work on this journey that I’ve felt pulled towards for most of my adult life. Can’t wait to share what I’m learning!

P.S.S - Reply to this email and let me know what you struggle with the most when it comes to building your personal brand so I can tailor the next editions of this newsletter to help with this!

If you liked this new direction, please share it with someone you think would also find this useful :)
