We recently connected with Wu Russell and have shared our conversation below.
Wu, appreciate you joining us today. Let’s jump right into how you came up with the idea?
Since I was a kid, I know I am different. I mean, yes everyone is different. But I know myself is always thinking out of the box and always going the extra mile. I always try to discover how I can be different in anything. I always start to try new things and am never scared to take risks.
So, when I started focusing on a creative services business like what I am doing right now, I always thought, “Be different!”. Especially in the social media industry, when everyone wanted to be the same, doing the same trend, me? I’ve always wanted to be different.
So, if I finally came up with the idea, that is because I know, that idea is different. And when I have strong personal branding, people know, there is a real person with a passion that will put so much work and effort behind that idea, and I know I could be successful because of that.
How did you build your audience on social media?
Be authentic. Always! When you are real on social media, you not just gained followers, but you just made a community. And lot of people underestimate the power of the community on social media. When you have a business and community, you will always have strong bond and support!
Are there any books, videos or other content that you feel have meaningfully impacted your thinking?
Aw yes actually! OMG, I am so excited to tell about my favorite book to people. It’s actually a very simple book. If you are a Star Wars fan, I am sure you know who Master Yoda is. Yes, his philosophy has changed my life. The book is called ‘Be More Yoda’. It’s all about his beliefs, and thoughts. But the explanation made me realized, all of these, could be a game changer.
For example, he said “Always with you it cannot be done. Hear you nothing that I say?” He told Paul Skywalker to believe in his abilities.
I always keep that in mind. Believe in my abilities. I do have power and control over anything in my life. Skepticism is good but doubting yourself is self-defeating.
So yes, this philosophy really affects my life journey. Especially the way I think about my passion when it comes to working. I want to use my abilities to bring good work to the table.
