Having influencer status is not about lifting self, but about lifting others. ?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is the difference between being an influencer and being a leader. In the social media industry these two terms are often used interchangeably. However, they are not one in the same.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Influencers create followers. Leaders create more leaders.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

A good leader will always have influence but an influencer will not always be a leader. “Being a leader has more to do with who you are than influence. Influence can happen without leadership yet will be fleeting. The magic formula is impact + grow + leadership = influence.” – Jen Kelchner⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The key to achieving lasting influence is leadership. You must shift your focus from lifting yourself to lifting others. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The term “followers” is misleading. They are not your followers. They are your community, your tribe, your people. You are rooting for these people. You see something in them that they may not even see in themselves. And if you can help them to succeed or to achieve something great then you have done your job well. ?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

If you want lasting success on social media you need to adopt this mindset. “Instead of always focusing on what you want from the world, start thinking about what you have to offer” -Darius Foroux ?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Starting now, what do you have to offer your community??
