Stop Hiring for Years of Experience — Start Hiring for Traits That Can’t Be Taught 💡 99% of jobs can be taught. But drive, resilience, and hunger to learn? Those are rare — and priceless. When you hire for mindset first, you get people who grow with your business instead of outgrowing it. Here are 5 traits that separate a good hire from a great one: Proactive 🙌 – They take ownership without waiting for instructions. Problem Solver 💬 – They don’t just talk solutions; they implement them. Grit 💪 – They push through challenges instead of giving up. Curious 🧐 – They ask “why” and look for better ways to do things. Growth‑Oriented 📈 – They embrace feedback and actively seek improvement. Skills can be trained. But the right mindset compounds value for years. Concept inspired by Chris Donnelly — reframed for my global founder & leader network.

I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Social Media Marketing Manager at Nur Perfumes!

One Comment Got Me 27,000 Impressions — Without Posting Daily Yes, 27,000+ impressions from a single LinkedIn comment. Here’s how (and you can do it too, In Shaa Allah): I found a post from a top creator in my niche. I commented fast. Kept it short, honest, and value packed. No hype. Just help. Why it worked: → Viral post = high visibility → Early comment = top position → Relevant insight = engagement That one comment will bring profile visits, connection requests — and even leads in Shaa Allah. If you’re a founder and business owner tired of posting daily with low results… You don’t need more content. You need better visibility. Start commenting smart. As a social media marketing manager, I help you attract clients with smart strategy — not stress. #Business #SocialMediaMarketing #LinkedInTips #HalalMarketing #Businessowner #InboundLeads

Use the first 2 lines as your headline → Cut the fluff. Make readers stop scrolling with a bold claim or strong question. Reply to every comment in the first hour → Boosts visibility.
