You don’t have to have a blogger, podcaster, YouTuber, or influencer. You can be an employee, run a company, be a stay at home parent, or a student.
You don’t have to have an online platform to matter in this world.
Why would a teacher feel pressure to be an online influencer? They’re LITERALLY influencing lives every day.
Why would a mom feel like she’s not doing enough so she starts a blog or starts posting to Instagram, hoping her follower count goes up?
You don’t have to have an online platform to matter in this world.
When did we decide that our off-line life wasn’t enough?
Who told you that your life, the one that doesn’t require a keyboard or a camera, wasn’t enough?
Platforms are a lot of things, but they’re not required.
What’s required of all of us
What’s required is for you to love well, yourself and those closest to you. You need to do your job with integrity. Serve your community. Care about people who need caring for.
The most influence I’ll ever have is on the four people who live in my home. My kids don’t care if I blog and if I stopped writing my life would still have a tremendous impact.
Wherever you are, be an influencer.
Websites are optional.
