On The Shadow’s “new” backstory

Poke around any discussion of The Shadow and the movie in particular and you’re gonna find a lot of contention regarding the movie’s biggest shift from the source material, that was inventing a whole new backstory for the character where, prior to being The Shadow, he used to be a murderous warlord on Tibet who was kidnapped by monks and forced to undergo redemption and put his skills to fight evil.

It was not a popular decision at the time, to put it mildly. It didn’t do anything to improve the film (that text crawl really shoots the entire film in the foot), it soured a lot of fan opinions on the whole thing, and yet it’s become such a fixture of every story told with the character since then, that odds are most people think this is just what he always like, that this lip-service about redemption and being a former bastard turned hero was always what the character “was about”.

I have some complicated thoughts on it and how it’s affecte Shadow stories since then, most of whom are negative, but the thing is, I get where it’s coming from. I get why they felt the need to change his origin like that, and why it’s stuck around.

In the pulps, The Shadow’s backstory was, to sum it up, that he was a spy who went to war, learned a lot of skills and did a lot of things, and then pivoted to fighting crime in the late thirties. That was the backstory of most 30s American pulp heroes, actually, give or take a couple of differences. And for a pulp hero, it works. But modern audiences have been taught to expect more.

The movie, in trying to repackage the character for a modern audience, in turning The Shadow into a superhero so he could survive in a 90s blockbuster landscape, needed an appropriately punchy superhero backstory. Superhero backstories tend to be, in general, all about a dramatic hook that simplifies their motivations, powerset or life stories into a one-sentence pitch. Batman lost his parents in a brutal mugging as a child and swore to stop that from happening to others. Spider-Man’s uncle died because of his irresponsibility. Ben Grimm gained superpowers from space rays like his friends, except he got turned into a deformed rock monster who can never look normal again. Bruce Banner got caught in an atomic blast that made him into an unkillable rage monster. A dramatic transgression happened, they must correct it by becoming dramatic figures themselves.

They’ve made 3 John Wick movies with little more motivation to the central character other than “they killed his dog in the first movie”. That’s not a dismissal, it’s just effective storytelling. We don’t need more motivation for John Wick, we don’t need Batman flashbacks in every film, we get a one-sentence hook for a tangible, grounded motivation that lets the characters hit the ground running. “Used to be a savage murderous warlord, now applies said savagery to killing criminals” is a simple, easily understood pitch that’s considerably more dramatic than his former backstory. It works as a superhero backstory, and you can argue it’s even somewhat thematically fitting, since “a villain who turns evil against evil” has been part of The Shadow’s concept from day one.

So what’s the problem with it?

Well, for one, The Shadow is not a superhero. He doesn’t look like them, he doesn’t act like them, he doesn’t live in their world. They can try and turn him into one, and they have done that several times, but the character’s core traits, central appeal and identity are not only considerably older than the superhero, they run directly counter to what defines a superhero. The movie that tried turning him into a superhero was a box office and critical failure, and the Dynamite comics have largely just succeeded at keeping the character in the fringes of the public eye and nothing more. If turning The Shadow into a superhero was intended to revitalize his success to modern audiences, it clearly hasn’t worked in over two decades, despite superheroes being more popular than ever before. It’s kept him on little more than life support.

And two, one of the very problems of trying to turn The Shadow into a superhero, and give him an ultra-dramatic superhero backstory pitch, is because it runs counter to a cornerstone of The Shadow’s appeal: the mystery. Superheroes have to pull double duty in being both the impressive, great warriors and forces of change within a story, as well as being our relatable, POV protagonist whose struggles we relate to. The Shadow, in the pulps, split that balance, between himself, and the agents and protagonists of any given Shadow story. @oldschoolcrimefighters has brilliant writings on The Shadow and his agents that inspired me to do this blog in the first place and you should all read, and I’m going to quote this one in particular:

“..modern storytelling focuses more on characterization rather than plot. I think a lot of creators come at The Shadow with that in mind, and with a mindset built on other comics and properties: the titular character is the one to focus on. And the radio show, movie(s), and comics – the most readily available mediums for research – don’t do much to disabuse them of this idea.

So creators shine the spotlight on The Shadow. They try to humanize him, make him into someone we the readers will empathize with and relate to and root for and all that jazz. They give him motivations and backstories and banter, a token romantic interest (Margo) and sometimes sidekick (usually Moe) to bounce exposition off of and provide comic relief.

The Shadow doesn’t take kindly to spotlights. And even if he did, let’s be real, he’s not the most relatable dude. He’s a power fantasy. (And there’s nothing wrong with that.)

Whether or not he should be humanized at all is a touchy subject – I personally think the pulps portray him as a far more empathetic, fallible, playful being than people give them credit for. The thing is, when the pulps humanize him, it’s in a particular context. It’s in his relationships with other characters – especially the supporting cast – that his humanity shines.”

And that brings to the third problem: The Shadow doesn’t need a backstory that takes up so much screentime and focus. It has never factored into what made the character popular in his prime. In the pulps, we jumped right into his presence in the lives of others and his adventures, with only very sparse information about his past delivered every couple dozen books or so. It took over 131 novels for the name “Kent Allard” to even show up with a “proper” backstory, and even then, it consisted of little more than stuff we’d already been told prior about him (he was in the war, he used to be a spy, he traveled around the world with false names). And after a couple dozen stories, Kent Allard appeared less and less, about as often as the fake identity of Henry Arnaud, to the point the final Gibson stories omit him all together and even point to Lamont Cranston as the “true” identity of The Shadow. Kent Allard was just a name he went by a few times, and nothing more.

The most popular version of the character by far, the radio show, didn’t even have that. We knew nothing about the radio Shadow’s backstory other than some of his travels in the past he’d mention on certain episodes and what the opening narration told you. He was our POV protagonist in those episodes far more so in the pulps, and yet, clearly they must have been doing something right, if audiences never once missed the fact that they knew next to nothing about who he used to be before.

The very reason The Shadow became a character in the first place was because of popularity. It was because listeners tuning in to Detective Story Hour found themselves faced with the sibilant, cruel, snake-like whispery taunts of a narrator who talked and acted like no one they had heard announce other radio shows, who was easily the most interesting part of the shows he announced, and whose voice and personality held them in such fascination, even when he was literally nothing but a voice and a personality, that they started demanding to hear more of him, asking for stories starring this dark prince of radio that lived so vividly in their brains, that they didn’t notice, or care, that such stories about him didn’t exist yet.

And when he was turned into a crimefighting character, his backstory was built in a way that allowed Gibson and any future writers to play around with and insert events and adventures as they saw fit. His adventures with the Tsar in Russia, his travels to India, Africa, Tibet, his war experiences, unrecorded adventures with allies and agents and villains of any kind, his post-war travels as Kent Allard, whatever happened in the years between his crash in the Yucatan and his arrival in America. Hell, if you want to have a period where he really loses it and does immoral things he isn’t proud of, there’s any number of periods you can insert mistakes and bad decisions that would define his actions years down the lane. It was a sandbox of any possibilities, grounded to a strong character who we could follow into any adventure because we’d be interested in learning more about him.

A good backstory helps, and The Shadow’s motivation was grounded to it, but it was never a necessary component to his popularity. It was never something that needed much focus beyond the sparse information. When handled poorly, a backstory only really threatens to taint that appeal, and that’s what happened.

The “hook” that got audiences to pay attention to The Shadow was his sinister personality and charismatic cruelty. That was what they came for. What got them to stay, and read the stories and form lifelong devotions to the character and his adventures, was discovering that this personality belonged to a character who was, utterly, on the side of good, who used his skills and powers of great villainy to protect innocents, to help and uplift people just like the readers and listeners. That dual nature was a big part of why The Shadow was so enduring and popular in his prime, part of what set him apart from all of his contemporaries and imitators.

It’s hardly much of a contrast, hardly much of a fascinating and layered character that we want to learn about or spend time with, if he was just always a horrible villain who is only marginally less horrible now, is it? A Shadow who used to be every bit the horrible villain he looks and acts like isn’t really that interesting, it’s just what you’d expect from him at first glance. What’s the point of caring about a man trying to regain his humanity, if we never get to see much of that humanity in the first place? What’s the point of even going into his past if we know all about it?

What’s the point of taking this backstory that was all about open possibilities for storytellers, all about covering the intricate life of a complex and strong character, to reduce it into a quick, punchy one-sentence summation that simply sets down a baseline for all future stories to repeat ad nauseum?

It’s not that I don’t think you can tell stories about The Shadow’s backstory, quite the opposite. It’s not that I don’t think the character having a strong “hook” for audiences is unneccessary (he already has). And it’s not that I don’t think he needs a motivation (he already has). But I have to ask:

What’s the point of shining a spotlight on a shadow, if not to eliminate it?

Great lessons from great women

A decade ago, J.D. shared some great lessons from great men. He had a wealth of material to draw from: biographies of historical figures from centuries ago, classic business texts, and the earliest self-help books.

If you want to compile lessons from great women, however, you don’t have the same sources, because women have not been considered “great” for much of history, and thus they’ve not been asked for their opinions on most things — certainly not financial matters! Multiply that times ten for women of color.

Today, I'd like to share some great lessons from great women. But the wisdom I’ve collected here comes primarily from media sources and speeches. It’s no less wise than the wisdom from books written by great men, and it applies to everyone of all genders, although it’s informed in many cases by much tougher life circumstances than the white men who lent their thoughts to this post’s counterpart.

Here are ten inspiring bits of wisdom that I’ve learned from great women.

Do the Work

“There are two kinds of people, those who do the work and those who take the credit. Try to be in the first group; there is less competition there.” – Indira Gandhi, India’s first (and only) female prime minister

We are trained to look for shortcuts in everything. More than that, we're surrounded by people who want the glory and the money associated with having done something without actually doing the thing.

But real success – and with it a sense of true accomplishment and fulfillment – only comes if we actually do the work. Success without having done the work feels hollow. And the belief that success should come instantly and with glory puts us in the wrong mindset to achieve big things.

I’d tweak Indira’s quote just a little, though, to say that it’s fine to claim credit – in fact you should! – but only after you’ve actually done the work.

Work first, credit second.

Define Success for Yourself

“To me success means effectiveness in the world, that I am able to carry my ideas and values into the world — that I am able to change it in positive ways.” – Maxine Hong Kingston, author

Our society tends to have a one-dimensional definition of success: To be successful is to have power, status, and money. While those things might satisfy some of us, it’s simply not true that everyone will feel equally fulfilled by having them, never mind that our current economy simply won’t allow most people to achieve those things.

Instead, let’s follow Maxine’s advice and define success for ourselves. She defines it as effectiveness at carrying her ideas and values into the world, which is true for me, too, but you get to choose your own definition.

Mistakes Aren’t Failure

“You know, failure hurts. Any kind of failure stings. If you live in the sting, you will undoubtedly fail. My way of getting past the sting is to say no, ‘I’m just not going to let this get me down.’” – Sonia Sotomayor, the first Latina justice on the U.S. Supreme Court

“Failure is an important part of your growth and developing resilience. Don’t be afraid to fail.” – Michelle Obama

It’s natural to be afraid of failure. And despite the recent Silicon Valley-led trend of “failing fast” (in which failure is accepted but is also supposedly painless), Sonia and Michelle understand that failure sucks. There’s no point in sugar-coating it.

If you invest yourself in something and it doesn’t work out, it’s inevitable that that’s going to hurt. But what matters is what you do next. Do you wallow in that hurt? Or do you figure out what you can learn from that failure, and refuse to let it stop you?

Be like these great women and carry on, more resilient than ever.

Embrace Fear

“If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough.” – Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, President of Liberia and Nobel Peace Prize winner

Speaking of that fear of failure, not only can we not let failure stop of from moving forward, we can’t let the fear of it stop us from even trying in the first place.

Fear can be a helpful guide to tell us that we’re getting closer to our highest purpose, and to doing something that really matters. If you’re never scared by something you’re setting out to accomplish, it doesn’t mean that you’re especially brave. It means you’ve never challenged yourself.

Real Wealth Is Community

“My object in life is not simply to make money for myself.” – Madam C. J. Walker, the first self-made African-American millionaire

We don’t talk enough about the incredible life of Madam C.J. Walker, an entrepreneur who was determined to build her own wealth, but also to lift as she climbed and enrich others in her community along the way. Fortunately, you can now learn more about her in the Netflix series Self Made.

Walker grew up in terrible poverty, like most African-Americans of her day, and knew she wouldn’t be satisfied if she only enriched herself without making things better for her community. It’s a lesson we can all take to heart, asking how we can use our own opportunities and advantages to create opportunities for others, especially for those who’ve historically faced more barriers.

Generosity and an Abundance Mindset Will Serve You Well

“If you look at what you have in life, you’ll always have more. If you look at what you don’t have in life, you’ll never have enough.” – Oprah Winfrey

“No one has ever become poor by giving.” – Anne Frank

Something I wish I’d understood earlier in life is the destructive power of a scarcity mindset (in which you focus on what you don’t have and feel compelled to hoard money) rather than an abundance mindset (in which you focus on what you do have and therefore don’t need to hold on to it so tightly).

Psychological research tells us that giving of ourselves, both our time and money, makes us feel better about ourselves, more grateful for what we have, and happier overall. And that’s in addition to strengthening our communities and helping those less fortunate at the same time.

Generosity is a muscle you have to build, so start small if you have to, but give whenever you can.

Pursue the Things You Love Most

“You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off you.” – Maya Angelou, author, poet, and civil rights activist

I actually kind of hate the “follow your passion” career advice that so many extol, because it’s simply not universally applicable, and it sets up an unhelpful divide between those who are able to go into a career path about which they’re passionate, and those who have to do the thankless jobs that we’re finally recognizing as essential in the era of COVID-19.

But your career is not the entirety of your existence. And in your life as a whole, I absolutely believe in letting what you love guide you, without regard for money.

Being accomplished at something doesn’t have to mean getting a paycheck to do it, nor does it require public recognition. It could be something you do privately for your own enjoyment and nothing else. And doing it without regard for money is an important piece, because we make decisions differently when we’re profit-motivated.

Allow yourself at least one thing you love in life in which money plays no part.

Claim Your Power

“Power is not given to you. You have to take it.” – Beyoncé

“We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to girls: You can have ambition, but not too much. You should aim to be successful but not too successful, otherwise you will threaten the man. If you are the breadwinner in your relationship with a man, pretend that you are not, especially in public, otherwise you will emasculate him.” – Chimamanda Ngozi, author and activist

“We as women should shine light on our accomplishments and not feel egotistical when we do. It's a way to let the world know that we as women can accomplish great things!” – Dolores Huerta, founder of the United Farm Workers

“Women’s empowerment” is another idea I kind of hate, because it suggests we are being granted some small amount of power by those who already possess it, in the amounts they choose to grant.

But those in power never asked permission or waited patiently to be gifted what they felt was theirs. They didn’t shrink themselves to make others feel better about themselves. They didn’t hesitate to shout their accomplishments because of how it might make them look. They took that power and stood in it — without shame.

So, instead of “being empowered”, we should claim our own power. (And to those who’ve historically had those advantages, don’t worry – “power” isn’t a zero-sum game. More people having power doesn’t lessen your own.)

Use your voice, cheer your accomplishments, and live to your full potential.

People Are More Important Than Anything

“People first, then money, then things.” – Suze Orman

“Remember, ‘No one’s more important than people’! In other words, friendship is the most important thing—not career or housework, or one’s fatigue—and it needs to be tended and nurtured.” – Julia Child

We can argue about whether Suze Orman is a great woman or not, but she certainly expressed this sentiment most succinctly: People are the most important thing.

If your wealth or your success comes at the expense of your relationships, then all the money in the world won’t make you happy. And countless studies confirm this: Those with the strongest relationships live the longest and have the most high-quality-of-life years, they have the greatest sense of purpose, and they’re the happiest.

Put the people in your life first, ahead of your career and hustle, if you care about what your life adds up to and not just what your financial numbers add up to.

Know What You Stand For

“Stand for something or you will fall for anything. Today’s mighty oak is yesterday’s nut that held its ground.” – Rosa Parks, American civil rights activist

This may seem like it’s not a money lesson, but it absolutely is. We’re faced with scores of choices every day that have real-world implications for other people and the planet.

Let’s say you decide you want to earn passive income through rental real estate. Do you want to be a slum lord who does the bare minimum maintenance on your properties and evicts people the second rent is late? Or do you want to recognize that your property is someone’s home and maintain it accordingly, and cut them some slack if they have trouble paying?

Making no decision is a decision in itself, so make your choice consciously. Know what you stand for, and recognize that your money is the single biggest expression of your values.

Final thoughts: The women who gave us these lessons are a huge inspiration to me, and their fights for justice have paved the way for future generations to struggle less. Let’s carry their lessons into the world and do great things!

15 inspiring Instagram accounts every entrepreneur should follow in 2019

Looking for entrepreneurial inspiration? Ready to stop procrastinating? It’s so easy to get sucked into procrastination mode when your Instagram feed is clogged up with teacup pigs and tiny dogs wearing tiny sweaters—incredibly cute, but not very motivational. Here’s a simple life-hack: fill your go-to time-wasting spaces (like Instagram) with inspiration from successful entrepreneurs instead!

To get you started, we curated this list of 15 entrepreneurs whose Instagram accounts are the real deal. These guys, gals and groups are proven success stories and they share their wisdom on Instagram to help you kickstart your business. Read on to see what we love about them.

Everette Taylor

Who he is: CEO of ET Enterprises. Strong proponent of millennials, women and people of color creating their own success, rather than fitting into the established mold. Find him at: everette on Instagram Why follow him: To see photos of the speaking events he’s at and where he’ll be next.

Everette Taylor is the CEO of ET Enterprises, the umbrella under which his multiple million-dollar companies operate, including Millisense, Popsocial and Growth Hackers. A former high school dropout who overcame homelessness as a teen, Everette built his first business at 19 and sold it two years later and not even a decade after that, he’s been named one of Forbes 30 under 30 in marketing and advertising.

When we asked Everette how he uses Instagram to support his business, he replied, “It’s an amazing customer acquisition channel. On the personal side, I’m able to promote my products and businesses organically to my growing audience as well as earn money as an ambassador and influencer for brands. I use that money to put towards my businesses or new products.”

Via Everette Taylor

Everette Taylor’s Instagram is full of photos of him at speaking events and screenshots of articles featuring him. Following him is the quickest way to read his latest interviews and see what he’s up to.

Everette’s not shy about discussing his past. He’s not full of himself, either. The advice he’d give his younger entrepreneurial self is to “optimize for happiness, rather than success. Money and success mean nothing if you’re not happy or lack peace of mind. Self care is essential. You can still grind and be productive without burning yourself out.”

Peter Voogd

Who he is: Founder of Game Changers Academy. Believer in escaping the rat race and living life on your own terms. Find him at: peterjvoogd on Instagram Why follow him: For bite-size snippets of advice that’ll get you in the right mindset.

Peter Voogd founded Game Changers Academy, a mastermind community that provides entrepreneurs with tools and services like coaching, monthly mastery calls that connect members with him via video chat to discuss business and lifestyle development strategies, and access to a proven step-by-step system for growing profits. When Peter speaks about business, he knows what he’s talking about—in his short career (he’s only 30!) he’s built multiple million-dollar businesses and published two books on entrepreneurship, Massive Success and Six Figures.

When we asked Peter for a tip he’d give an entrepreneur starting a new business, he emphasized the importance of keeping things simple.

Via Peter Voogd

“In order to really thrive in entrepreneurship and business, you must learn to shift from complexity to simplicity. When you get rid of all the noise in your head and focus on the few activities that matter most you’ll gain a new sense of awareness and motivation,” he said. “Most of the things you do in your business don’t accelerate growth—they just ‘maintain’ at best. Don’t try to be great at fifty things. Be obsessed about the few things that can really move your business forward. You’re a lot more productive when you’re doing your highest value activities in uninterrupted blocks of time.”

Peter sums up his Instagram strategy as “The main objective is to position our brand as the leading authority for millennials and young entrepreneurs. The goal of my Instagram is to do three things: 1) inspire and motivate to think and act bigger, 2) educate and challenge people to think different and 3) entertain and make people laugh.” We can confirm that he excels in all three.

Marie Forleo

Who she is: CEO of MarieTV. Believer in putting all of yourself into everything you do. Find her at: marieforleo on Instagram Why follow her: To see new episodes of MarieTV as soon as they’re up, a daily dose of motivation and to get a peek into Marie’s day-to-day life, whether that’s making pasta from scratch, soaking up the sun on the beach or spending cozy nights on the couch with her dog.

Marie Forleo tells it how it is because she knows that’s what you need to hear on your journey to reaching your full potential. No fluff, no ego strokes. Her Instagram is rich with inspirational quotes and announcements of new episodes of MarieTV, her weekly show full of life wisdom and strategic discussion around building successful businesses and fulfilled lives. And it’s all washed in soft pastels and beautiful design, which we love.

Marie’s not one of those “gurus” with no real experience. An experienced copywriter and online marketing expert, she turned her efforts to educating others in her field with her blog, her book Make Every Man Want You, and her two online courses, B School and The Copy Cure.

Via Marie Forleo

On Marie’s website, she tells readers what drove her to launch her socially conscious digital empire: “I wanted to know, what exactly is it that makes people genuinely happy, successful and creatively fulfilled? Why do some people struggle while others find a way to thrive, often despite the most challenging circumstances? I believe you must bring your whole self to the table if you want to thrive in today’s world. That includes your unique set of gifts, your personality, your sense of humor and most importantly, your heart. I believe that whether you run your own business or not, a creative and entrepreneurial approach is critical to fully blossom in the modern world and to experience the happiness and fulfillment you deserve.”

Gary Vaynerchuck

Who he is: CEO of VaynerMedia and VaynerSports. Not afraid to drop expletives when he has to get his point across. Find him at: garyvee on Instagram Why follow him: To get hit with truth bombs exactly when you need them.

Gary Vaynerchuk, who can be found on Instagram as @garyvee, is a prolific investor who’s supported Venmo, Twitter, Facebook and other big-name companies in their startup days.

How’d he get to this point? First, by growing his family’s wine business from $3 million in revenue to $60 million through a rebranding process, starting a weekly webcast to build a community and educate viewers about wine. Today, he’s still at the cutting edge of marketing, sharing his knowledge with the world through his podcast, The GaryVee Audio Experience.

Via Gary Vay-Ner-Chuck

His profile feels edgy, modern and full of brutally honest advice for marketing in the social media era. One standout quote you’ll see in multiple posts of his is this: “If your voice in your head is mean to you, remember that someone manipulated that voice and instilled it in you. Kill that fake voice and find yours. I love you, now love yourself.”

Besides his undeniable selfie game, follow Gary for sharp humor, no-nonsense advice, and loads of video content.

Harvard Business Review

Who they are: The official magazine of Harvard Business School. Committed to making practical workplace relationship advice easy to access. Find them at: harvard_business_review on Instagram Why follow them: For thought-provoking content about leadership and life in the workplace.

Via Harvard Business School

For the official magazine of a business school within one of the most prestigious universities in the world, Harvard Business Review’s Instagram is, in a word, colorful. Here you’ll find bold text against bright backgrounds, cleverly manipulated photography and eye-catching illustrations.

Many of Harvard Business Review’s Instagram posts link to the magazine’s articles. Others are simply conversation-starters. One thing all of Harvard Business Review’s posts have in common is that they’ll make you think… not just about your job, but about what your day-to-day actions mean in the larger context of your career and your relationships with others.

Many of Harvard Business Review’s posts are concise management tips. A few examples of these tips are:

“To finally start that big project, start small”

“Get more sleep, starting tonight”

“Keep your network small and meaningful”

“Encourage your team to call out narcissistic behavior”

6amsuccess

Who he is: Victor Hathaway. Believer in taking as many tiny steps as necessary to chase big dreams. Find him at: 6amsuccess on Instagram Why follow him: For succinct motivational quotes that hold you accountable for your success or lack of it.

Via 6amsuccess

6amsuccess’ goal is to wake you up to your inherent capacity of making your dreams reality. Every week, 6amsuccess motivates 20 million people.

Some of the coaches and motivators on our list aim to inspire followers from across industries. Not Victor Hathaway, founder of 6amsuccess. Based in Silicon Valley, his niche is inspiring business owners and creators primarily in the tech space. His aesthetic: aspirational lifestyle photography with alternatingly inspirational or humorous text overlaid in white block text, meme-style.

Each post communicates directly to his specific audience. It’s not subtle, but it’s not supposed to be. It’s also not very wordy—Victor keeps it focused and simple by limiting each post’s text to a hashtag or call to action, letting the images speak for themselves and really communicate his philosophy of constantly pushing yourself forward and not letting yourself become discouraged by failure. You’ll see succinct, accountability-focused quotes like “I didn’t come this far to only come this far,” “If you can’t stop thinking about it, don’t stop working for it,” and “When you’re about to quit, remember why you started.” Follow 6amsuccess for an instant boost of motivation.

Natalie Franke

Who she is: Founder of the Rising Tide Society. Builds stronger businesses through connection, rather than competition. Find her at: nataliefranke on Instagram Why follow her: To see the latest in the #communityovercompetition movement and learn about your mindset through her self reflection-provoking posts.

In a previous life, Natalie Franke was a wedding photographer. Now, she’s a brain tumor survivor, an entrepreneurship coach and founder of the Rising Tide Society, a worldwide network that brings creative entrepreneurs together for monthly meetups.

On Natalie’s profile, you’ll see pastel colorscapes awash in soft lighting (her experience as a photographer definitely comes through) alongside quirky script style fonts and minimal illustrations connected to direct conversations with her followers about their businesses and brands. Between these conversations you’ll find occasional glimpses into her life chronicling her personal health struggles. Natalie isn’t afraid to get real and raw on Instagram because if you want to build a successful brand, you need to be willing to get raw about the personal struggles you’re facing.

Natalie explains her approach to entrepreneurship as “I believe we all have the opportunity to step outside of the box and become exactly who we are called to be.” She continues, “as human beings we are wired to connect with one another. Our brains are equipped with empathy and powered by a desire to thrive not merely as an individual, but as a family, as a species. In May 2015, I founded the Rising Tide Society and took a simple idea from launch to exponential growth in less than six months, and to 100K members in a year and a half. We challenged the status quo, where everyone was out for themselves, and reframed the state of mind in the creative industry.”

Shane Feldman

Who he is: Founder and CEO of Count Me In. Focused on personal resilience, advocacy and inspiring teens to act as agents for positive change. Find him at: shane_feldman on Instagram Why follow him: To maximize your brand’s impact by reimagining it as a social movement.

Shane Feldman builds movements. He does this by working with business leaders to transform their brands into vibrant, action-oriented social movements. Check out his Instagram to see him speaking at Count Me In events, selfies and documentation of people doing good in the world.

Shane’s no stranger to making a difference. Because of his own experience with bullying, he founded teen mentoring program Count Me In. Through Count Me In, he coaches teens who struggle with confidence and self-esteem to set goals, avoid burnout and become internally motivated to pursue and find their own success.

Via Shane Feldman

When we asked Shane about the biggest fear he thinks entrepreneurs should overcome, he told us “Fear of self-care. I know that may sound ridiculous but I work with so many entrepreneurs, managers and business owners who think that success means they need to work themselves into overdrive 50, 70, 80+ hours a week. They are terrified that if they take a moment for themselves, it will look like they aren’t ‘committed’ to their brand. So many people have bought into the lie that you need to hustle 24/7 to ‘make it’ … checking your texts, emails and Slacks into the night, only eating power snacks throughout the day, and ignoring weekend altogether.”

He went on to say, “Self-care isn’t selfish. In fact, it’s absolutely critical to success. This is true for anyone, but in particular entrepreneurs who don’t have an old-school 9-to-5 position that you clock out of at the end of a shift. Practicing self-care ensures your mental health and mental clarity stays tuned up.”

Amber Lilyestrom

Who she is: Brand strategist, business coach and creator of the Ignite Your Soul Summit. For her, big leaps, rebirth and transformation are the keys to branding success. Find her at: amberlilyestrom on Instagram Why follow her: To see her latest content as soon as it drops.

She’s an author. She’s a branding strategist. She’s a podcaster. She’s a business coach. If you can say anything about Amber Lilyestrom, you could she’s a master of multitasking.

When we spoke to Amber, she shared her secret to balancing everything she does. “Get help, don’t try to go it alone. People who aspire to begin their own businesses tend to naturally be self-sufficient and highly ambitious. While these are admirable qualities, they also tend to make people feel like they have to do everything themselves—that they should have all the answers, be all things to all people—which will lead them straight to burnout and frustration.”

She went on to advise, “Find others who have gone before you to help guide the way and shorten your learning curve, enlist the help of others whose area of genius is where one of your weaker points may be. Whatever you do, don’t be afraid to ask for support + help from the people who are offering it. Saying yes to them could be the decision that takes that great big vision of yours from a dream of the future, to a reality in the present.”

Via Amber Lilyestrom

She’s totally killing it at everything she does. Amber’s all about empowering women to launch and build successful businesses, and you’ll feel her passion for building others up radiate from her photos. Nestled between photos of her enjoying life with her family, you’ll find inspirational quotes that speak to her philosophy on life and engaging conversation-starters for her community.

She told us her social media strategy is to “Consistently show up as myself. It can be easy to put on the filters, to sell the story of a perfect life and + business—but that’s not what people need, nor really desire. People are craving REAL, people need TRUTH, and your followers want to see what it looks like to show up 100% authentically—even on the days we least want to.”

Melyssa Griffin

Who she is: Creator of the Pursuit with Purpose podcast. Brings fun and focus on a positive mindset to helping entrepreneurs build their businesses. Find her at: melyssa_griffin on Instagram Why follow her: To grow your online impact through her business-building educational products.

Melyssa Griffin recognized the importance of approaching entrepreneurship with the right perspective. She’s a mindset coach, building her brand around nurturing this specific business skill.

On her website, Melyssa Griffin discusses her approach to business coaching as “I believe you have an inherent, baby I was born with this power to build an online business that creates profit, brings you joy, and changes people’s lives. Trust me. I’ll show you how to do it. I believe you have a Big Fat Goal you’ve kept hidden in the back of your mind for far too long. I’m here to help you bring it to life in an unstoppable way.”

Talking a bit more about how her approach to life meshes with her approach to building online businesses, she adds “I believe you deserve happiness, respect, and love. And I’m determined to give you the tools to create those feelings in every crevice and cranny of your existence.”

As a business strategist, she offers online courses, free downloadable resources and podcasts. On her Instagram, we get a glimpse into her daily life, having fun and spending time with her corgi (we love Monja). Her profile is one that’ll put your mind at ease as you learn more about how she can help you reach your full potential. She gets into the day-to-day challenges online entrepreneurs often face, like having a tv on in the background while they’re working to fend off loneliness and breaking out of destructive thought patterns like success = worthy of love.

Sir Richard Branson

Who he is: Founder of the Virgin Group. Also known as Dr. Yes, his business philosophy includes a focus on socially conscious actions. Find him at: richardbranson on Instagram Why follow him: To see what life’s like for a business magnate, adventurer and philanthropist who’s been in the game for close to 50 years.

Sir Richard Branson’s Instagram documents one adventure after another, showing him kayaking, bicycling and even swimming with sharks.

The adventure pics aren’t just for show, though. Between documenting exotic landscapes, event highlights and heart-warming family content, we get a taste of the philosophy behind Sir Richard’s celebrated business acumen. Not all of the quotes Branson features on his Instagram come directly from him. He also posts inspirational quotes from figures like Dorothy Parker and Mahatma Gandhi. A few of the quotes that sum it up include:

“It’s amazing what doors can open if you reach out to people with a smile”

“There’s nothing more important than family, and that’s how it should be”

“If we can change business for good, we should also make an effort to change the world for the better”

…and the brief yet powerful “Be in the moment.”

Although his profile isn’t coaching-focused like many of the others on our list, it offers a different kind of motivation: a look at what life can be like once you make it as an entrepreneur. Follow him to see where your dedication to building your business can take you… like using your resources to lift others up.

Justin Dry

Who he is: CEO of Vino Mofo. Realist who’s willing to grind hard for success because he’s been there, done that and knows it works. Find him at: justindry on Instagram Why follow him: To see where he’s speaking, where he’ll be next, and the latest news from Vino Mofo.

Justin Dry, co-founded and joint CEO of Vino Mofo, calls his story an “uncorked success.” He cites Sir Richard Branson as one of his inspirations and in the spirit of continuing the chain of inspiration, uses his Instagram profile to inspire others. Justin’s profile is full of motivational thoughts, pictures of his dog and family and naturally, plenty of wine.

“Nobody cares, work harder” is one of the quotes you’ll see on his Instagram, but that’s the kind of real talk that got Justin Dry to where he is now. Another is “entrepreneurship is living a few years of your life like most people won’t, so that you can spend the rest of your life like most people can’t.”

Via Justin Dry

Today, Justin Dry does more than lead Vino Mofo. He inspires other entrepreneurs by speaking at business development events like Yeah Nah Summit 2018 and the Bayside Business Breakfast. Between events like this, he’s an active blogger on Medium, publishing concise pieces about the tools entrepreneurs need for success like patience, focus and a willingness to take risks even when they make you scared or uncomfortable.

That willingness to face discomfort can be found in other quotes Justin Dry posts to his Instagram, like “Show me your friends and I’ll show you your future” and “the pessimist complains about the wind, the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.”

Instagram for Business

Who they are: The group behind Instagram Stories for businesses. Driver of distraction-free marketing opportunities for companies on Instagram. Find them at: instagramforbusiness Why follow them: For in-depth looks at the innovative businesses they feature.

We can’t do a roundup of the best Instagrams for entrepreneurs to follow without including Instagram for Business. This is where you’ll see stories and write-ups featuring entrepreneurs who are changing their industries in big, fun, highly visual ways.

Via Instagram

Visually, you can expect Instagram for Business to up the saturation with lots of bright, bold colors, clever photography, and a whole lot of honest-to-goodness talent because Instagram for Business is all about highlighting the splashes independent entrepreneurs are making. On their website, they tell entrepreneurs how they can use Instagram for Business to connect with their audiences more effectively.

“People look to stories for inspiration,” Instagram for Business writes. “Find out how you can use stories to form new connections.” They also describe where their service fits into larger marketing campaigns: “Many of our direct response advertisers have seen success with performance objectives like sales and conversions. Consider using and testing Instagram Stories ads as a full funnel solution.”

Along with these descriptions, you’ll find tangible, tactical advice for using Instagram for Business, like how to add stories to Facebook campaigns and how to optimize your business’ stories. A lot of the content here is from Curated by Facebook, a project by Facebook to showcase individual Instagram creators. In each showcase, you’ll meet the creators as individuals and see their work.

Amy Landino

Who she is: Host of AmyTV and co-founder of aftermarq. Starts her success with getting into the right mindset by taking small steps for personal productivity. Find her at: schmittastic on Instagram Why follow her: To connect directly with Amy through the engaging questions she asks her followers.

Author of Vlog Like a Boss and host of AmyTV on Youtube, Amy Landino is a motivational speaker who found success on YouTube. On AmyTV, she gives advice for professional and personal success, like how to manage your time efficiently, how to always look put together, roundups of her favorite productivity apps and book recommendations for followers looking for more motivation.

When we asked Amy for the tips she gives entrepreneurs launching new businesses, she said, “Do not romanticize your product. Work hard on it. Believe in it. But when the market tells you it’s not the right thing, stay focused on getting them the right solution rather than trying to force something that’s not going to work. However, if you’re about to give up on something because you think the product isn’t right, check your marketing. You could just be doing a crap job of telling the story for why it matters and any amazing product will suffer without great brand awareness.”

She also cautions new entrepreneurs that “Entrepreneurship isn’t a get rich quick path and some new entrepreneurs I’ve encountered have a weird sense of entitlement when it comes to what they do and how they should get paid. It’s going to be tougher than you think in the first few years and you need to be willing to put in the work and for less money (a lot of times, FREE).”

“But the experience and the hustle of making things happen will get the right entrepreneurs where they need to be to make this an experience to last a lifetime. And if we’re reaching for an amazing lifetime, the journey should be just as important as the payoff. Otherwise, you’re in the wrong gig.”

Amy travels widely and uses her profile to showcase her travels. They’re part of her larger aesthetic: showing that you can have it all and achieve what you really want out of life if you plan smartly and focus on self-improvement, which fits right into her motivational messaging. She also views Instagram as the ideal conversation platform. “Because a lot of my content happens on YouTube, Instagram is a perfect place for me to continue the conversation with my community.”

Startup Creative

Who they are: A quarterly magazine that features entrepreneurs from around the world founded by Kaylene Langford. Shows featured freelancers and entrepreneurs in a raw, realistic way that breaks down how they became successful. Find them at: startupcreative on Instagram Why follow them: For business development advice that’s focused on you.

“Chase your stars fool, life is short.” For straightforward, refreshingly blunt business advice, follow StartUp Creative, founded by Kaylene Langford. StartUp Creative pushes you to craft your own success. Other pieces of advice you’ll find on StartUp Creative’s Instagram are: “Can you accept the notion that once you change your internal state, you don’t need the external world to provide you with a reason to feel joy, gratitude, appreciation, or any other elevated emotion?” and “Your potential is endless. Go do what you were created to do.”

Providing this advice in the forms of podcasts, blog posts, and online courses and even poetry, StartUp Creative’s focus is on helping entrepreneurs really work out how they can make themselves successful through knowing themselves better as people.

Via Startup Creative

Entrepreneurs who would rather work at their own pace instead of participating in StartUp Creative’s courses can take up their official ebook at their leisure. Those on a budget—or really, anybody who wants to build a more efficient, profitable business—can take advantage of StartUp Creative’s free resources like its guide to building profitable websites and its business plan template.
