10 Online Influencers That Will Affect Positive Change in Your Business!

online influencers

Even the best leaders need to follow, in order to continue to grow. [Tweet This!]

At the end of each year I pick three influencers that I will follow throughout the course of the next year to learn from. I keep these secret (so don’t ask!) and quietly study how they do what they do. I reach out to them, converse with them, become friends with them (if we don’t know each other already!), perhaps get them on my podcast and generally soak up as much knowledge and experience from them as possible.

It’s a great growth strategy which I’ve followed for the last 4-years now, and I strongly suggest you start doing likewise.

In order to help you, I’ve put together the following list (which is presented in no particular order) of all-star influencers that are currently serving up plenty of brilliant content and know-how tips and tactics. You might fancy following some on the list (in full, or part) to learn from.

Let’s get to it!

Being ‘Influenced’ is just the Beginning!

It’s all very well following people of influence, to learn from them directly or whatever, but unless you take action it’ll all be a waste of time.

Actually putting pen to paper, planning, developing, launching, marketing… it’s all the difference between truly crushing it, or simply ‘getting by’.

I don’t like getting by. Never have. And knowing my community the way I do, I’m guessing you feel the same way – so… take some action!

Question: What traits do you look for in a leader…? Answer below, and lets share a little. Feel free to list YOUR influencer choices, too!
