Importance of Authenticity | The Tech Effect

How important is authenticity to business success❓ Authenticity in business and content creation is essential to growth. It is important to present yourself in as genuine a way as possible. Today’s consumers have so many choices when it comes to almost any given product. However, consumers also tend to buy a brand or a story and not just a product. And guess what? The conscientious consumer can spot inauthenticity from a mile away. So, be true to who you are and what you have to offer. Being authentic also helps you to build. It is not just about today; it is also about building a future. Showing some of your mistakes reminds your audience that you are real, you can grow and learn from them. The important factor is building a consistent message that can grow with you as a person, a business, and your audience, while continuously providing them with relatable, valuable content or products. Authenticity also creates a sense of connection with your target audience which in turn creates brand loyalty. In today’s market, authenticity is vital. Embrace your authenticity and you will see the big difference it can make in your business.

Does mentorship really help❓ Easy answer… yes it does. Mentorship is very important when it comes to starting out in a new career or professional development. It can help you to maintain your position at the company, grow quickly, and improve your learning curve in your career. 💡 Mentors are a key source of information and support. Studying at school or self-study is important and can get you through the door to a new career or job, but mentorship is what gives you the ability to stay. As Kareem Perez states in the video, having a mentor or a supervisor who serves as a good mentor, can provide you with a safe environment to fail, learn and try new things. They act as a safety net in those early formative years and help to guide you. Thank you, Karlena Waugh, for this insightful conversation!

Resume Year One - I need a job to get experience, but I need the experience to get a job

⁉️ HOW IMPORTANT IS THAT FIRST JOB TO BUILDING YOUR CAREER? ⁉️ It takes time to crack that wall to career success before we get to that dream job. Let's be honest, our first jobs aren't always the most glamorous. However, it is a start a good way to build your resume and discover what you are good at or enjoy doing. First jobs or entry-level jobs are there to help you build certain skillsets that you might need in your future career. It is basically a stepping stone to achieving your goals. Mahfuz, from the video, moved from working at Tim Horton’s as a Customer service representative to being the Brand Manager at CandyBox and hosting great sessions like this one. It is all a progression. A necessary process. We have all heard the expression, "patience is a virtue". Though, a cliché expression, there is much truth behind it. #Patience is necessary not only in life but when building our careers as well. However, while you build, you should also be on the alert for opportunities for you to grow. Investigate various sources and means that can assist you in positioning yourself within the company or even in starting your own business. 👉Check the Tech Effect website https://www.thetecheffect.ca for tips on how to successfully launch your career today. 🌟It is never too early to start 🌟 #thetecheffect #ttedigital #agencyaccess #careerbuilding #careerstrategy #mahfuzchowdhury #selfbranding #onlinecommunication #digitalmarketing #socialmediamarketing #event #toronto #mentorship #marketingtips #marketingagency #marketingtips #affiliatemarketing #entrepreneurlife #digitalmarketer #brandmanager #candyboxmarketing #future

Agency Access 2 - Be your own personality

💻 DIGITAL STORYTELLING: TRUST YOUR STORY 💻 Trying to find a way to tell your #story online? Stories are a powerful communication tool, and we all have one. Don’t be afraid to share yours. But first, you have to trust it. 👉 Trust your story and its #authenticity. And believe in your own process. Some people might get to their goals faster than you do. Some might even be smarter than you. 👉 But no one else thinks the way you do or has experienced life in the way you have. Therefore, the knowledge and perspective that you have to share are unique. 👉 Write that social media post, do that presentation, or start that website. Whatever it might be, don’t worry about what the next person is doing. Your story is distinct and worthy to be shared. Believe in what you have to offer. 👉 The human mind is wired to respond to the descriptive nature of stories. Your story can be a part of your personal brand or even launch your career. So don’t hold back. The world is waiting to hear from you ‼️ ------------------------------------------------------ 💛 Visit us at The Tech Effect to learn more about creating your personal brand and sharing your story with the world 💛 #thetecheffect #TTEdigital #agencyaccess #storytelling #mahfuzchowdhury #branding #selfbranding #onlinecommunication #digitalmarketing #socialmediamarketing #event #toronto #mentorship #mentoringmatters #marketingtips #marketingagency #marketingtips #affiliatemarketing #entrepreneurlife #digitalmarketer #brandmanager #candyboxmarketing

If you could go back in time to the day you started your career, what would you tell yourself? For Billy Bambao @bbillion — the Digital Marketing Strategist and Program Owner at Uhuru Network (link to LI page/IG page) — these are the three key items he wished he had known early on in his career: 1 - Set more SMART goals for yourself ➡️➡️➡️ Set goals that are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant to who you want to be as a person, and Time-based. 2 - Have a system to hold yourself accountable to that goal ➡️➡️➡️ Billy uses Asana to help him break down big, vague goals into specific actions he can take every single day, every single week. 3 - Be more present in communities that align with your goals ➡️➡️➡️ If you've got people beside you who are going the same place you're going, you'll avoid being distracted, getting burnt out, or getting discouraged. That's it for Billy — what about you? What are the things you wish you had known early on in your career? Comment down below!
