Why learn from your own mistakes when you can learn from those who are already ahead of you?
Growth starts with a mindset and is followed by action. Today, I am sharing some of my favorite influencers who will inspire you to aim higher in your business.
If you're creating content for social media, study not just what these influencers say, but also their social media strategies. Analyze how they hook their audience, structure their tweets, and use visuals and storytelling. These top influencers invest heavily in their content, converting millions of people, so you can learn a lot by observing them.

Codie is one of the hottest entrepreneurship influencers right now. Regardless of your niche, you can learn a lot from her.
She focuses on "boring businesses" like cleaning services, laundromats, and storage units—unexciting but profitable ventures. She shares valuable lessons on buying, selling, and running profitable businesses.
BigDeal is her newly launched podcast, but I also recommend subscribing to her YouTube channel for even more great stories about business.

His curious student approach makes it easy for listeners to learn how to grow from their first dollar to multiple seven figures.
As the fastest-growing podcast in the world, you’ve likely seen his episodes shared by friends. Steven covers life, health, mindset, entrepreneurship, and everything in between. His interview with former CIA spy Andrew Bustamante is particularly intriguing.
While all these podcasts are great, this one is probably my favorite. Like Diary of a CEO, Lewis covers all aspects of living a good life & spirituality, not just entrepreneurship. His podcasts help you see life through various lenses, leaving you with fresh ideas to ponder for days.
This podcast is a must-listen for anyone involved in marketing, sales, or social media. Gary Vee’s high-energy, hyperactive style is perfect for when you need extra motivation. If you haven’t already, listen to a few of his episodes on social media growth. Don’t just listen; also follow his tips.

Marc and Tibo are successful website builders with a solopreneur mentality. They share valuable insights on SaaS, website building, SEO, and marketing. Even if programming isn’t relevant to you, their newsletters are worth subscribing to for a while. The goal here is to expand your thinking and look beyond your niche.
Marc also excels at promoting his products with cheap, funny, viral videos. Check them out on his YouTube for inspiration. In the age of social media, fun often trumps big budgets.
