🚀 What Got You Here Won’t Get You There

Over the weekend, I picked up a book that made me reflect:
The Wealth Ladder by Nick Maggiulli
He breaks wealth into five levels. The ones that stood out to me:
Level 3: USD 100K–1M
Level 4: USD 1M–10M
Level 5: USD 10M–100M
Most employees hover between Level 3 and 4.
Level 5?
That’s reserved for a rare few: business owners, founders, and those with serious equity.
It reminded me of my time in Private Banking at Citi.
90% of clients with USD 10M+ in liquid net worth were entrepreneurs/business owners.
💭 The Realisation That Hit Me
If you want to reach a new level
financially, professionally, personally
You can’t keep doing what got you here.
You need to evolve
You need to experiment
You need to be bold
📈 My LinkedIn Shift
I used to post once or twice a week.
My follower count grew slowly, organically.
Then I changed my strategy:
- Posting 3–4 times a week
- Mixing reels and articles
The result?
✅ Higher impressions
✅ Daily follower growth
✅ More inbound leads and opportunities
🧠 Food for Thought
What’s one thing you could do differently this week?
- A new content format?
- A bold outreach message?
- A financial move you’ve been putting off?
- Changing your career path?
If you want different results, you need a different approach.
