Here’s How Law Of Attraction And Spirituality Guru Master Sri Akarshana Built His Social Media Empire

When Eric Ho started out on his journey to enlightenment a little over a decade ago, he seemingly had it all. He started his entrepreneurial journey with a restaurant, Yoyo Noodles, walking out of his comfort zone and after many struggles he made it a very successful franchise. Ready to climb the next mountain, he also branched out into the real estate industry and the import-export business. He is now internationally known as Master Sri Akarshana. His mantra of empowering and giving to others was a result of feeling spiritually incomplete. “We are – as human beings, attached to things,” he says, speaking on his IAMCREATOR.com podcast. “We give ourselves an identity – labels, that end-up consuming us.”  

A native of the U.K., Akarshana reminisces about his 2011 retreat to an impoverished region of Kenya, claiming “it felt like a release.” There, he spent his time volunteering with orphaned children. With this experience, he understood the importance of wealth and the capacity it gives people to be who they truly are: with more resources, you can be of service at a greater scale. He found his purpose.

Being in the energy of helping people and raising the consciousness of as many as he could, he was reached out by a disciple of Grandmaster Akshar, a Himalayan Yogi, who called on him to embark on a pilgrimage in the mountains, to receive the honorable  … title of spiritual master. It was then when he became “Master Sri Akarshana,” leaving his old identity behind, and forming his IAMCREATOR movement.

Master Sri Akarshana cites the hybridity of living both a metaphysical and physical life as the foundation for achieving happiness and aligned abundance. He believes that humans are spiritual beings in a physical and material world, and therefore should experience both to the fullest through an abundance of wealth and happiness. 

Certainly, this is a strategy that is working for him, as he has amassed a following of over 40 million over social media alone, while live performances of his teachings are in constant high demand. 

The Spiritual Master declares that the most important key to a successful social media campaign is through the intention; empowering others and finding ways to help them.  One of his most recent campaigns was the Christmas initiative Project One Million, a crowd funder for the charity organization Stella’s Voicewhich raised $16,557. Stella’s Voice is an organization dedicated to giving orphans in Moldova a second chance in life through appropriate shelter, food, and education. With this, it’s easy to see the power that influence has when used for something positive and that serves those who need it the most. 

In his vlog, the Secret to Being Happy and Successful in Life, Master Sri Akarshana admits that humans often achieve a small modicum of happiness after achieving a goal, but then fail to prolong that feeling because they’re chasing the next goal – therefore pushing happiness backward. Thus, through the power of giving, Akarshana believes you are leading with love and subsequently creating an inherent happiness. “I love helping people,” he says. “It’s in my nature.” 

When he visited Kenya in 2011, he knew the risks that traveling to that country entailed; the crime rates in the region were extremely high, danger was everywhere. But interestingly, it was in the midst of those circumstances where he found the true purpose of life, and this is the message he now carries. In his vlog the Difference Between Passion and Purpose, Akarshana suggests passion can be encompassed by how to serve other people. This methodology gives purpose to a given passion because it then becomes a project that can be monetized as it has value to other people. 

Master Sri Akarshana says “the quality of your questions equals the quality of your life,” and certainly those who follow Master Sri have to ask themselves the right questions in order to attain the same success. Certainly, the early-career success of the-then Eric Ho has allowed the Master of 2021 to provide a spiritual awakening to the universe. 

As Akarshana puts it in his vlog, A Powerful Message from the Universe he is merely ‘a channel of love’ whose mission it is “not to teach, but to love.”  

The Law of Attraction is one of the main channels he strives for in order to align with his desires, and in Akarshana’s most recent post, he asks the question “why are we put on this planet?” while challenging his viewers to find the greatness that the universe seeks of them. And then when it’s found, move toward it in order to be great. 

The Master – anointed that title by Himalayan Grand Master Akshar after his journey in the Himalayan mountains in 2019, claims his transition to spiritual fulfillment has resulted in greater career success, with an estimated 1.53 million YouTube subscribers reaching out to him for their own guidance. 

As he so eloquently puts it, “success, happiness and fulfillment can be achieved with no ego, and no greed … just love.”

Rising Artist T $WIM Sheds Light on His Explosive Journey into the Music Scene

Music is one of the most promising yet competitive industries in the modern era, especially as the digital age has created platforms that allow aspiring artists to build a name for themselves. With new artists emerging daily, it can be difficult for people to break out in the music scene. However, while other artists are drowned out in the waves, singer and songwriter T $WIM has found himself floating without much trouble.

Hailing from Connecticut, T $WIM began his journey into the music industry a little less than a year ago, releasing his track “Back Back” on SoundCloud. The song immediately put the spotlight on him, generating over 20,000 streams. The artist only grew his brand from there, adding more songs, with each one garnering between ten to fifty thousand streams apiece. His latest release, “T $WIM x Wasn’t Planned,” went beyond his usual success, climbing to over 50,000 streams a month after its release on the market. 

Before pursuing his music career, the rising artist had been floundering around a quiet town that didn’t have much going on for the locals. Despite its quaint charm, T $WIM strived for greatness, believing that he could go beyond with his music. While he knew that he had the potential, it wasn’t until the aspiring artist met renowned blogger and SayCheese TV owner Shawn Cotton that T $WIM realized just how far he could go.

“Meeting Shawn impacted me because nobody from Connecticut, where I was from at the time, ever met him,” he said, “That was something that motivated me as an artist to keep going because I know people wanted to meet him just like I did but didn’t have the opportunity.”

Since then, T $WIM has dispelled any lingering imposter syndrome, ascending into music significance. He currently has over 36,400 followers on Instagram keeping track of updates on his music, with his SoundCloud reaching over 1,300 followers. Although the numbers pale in comparison to other established names, T $WIM’s career proves to be off to a good start, showing others that his future is set for greatness.

As an artist, T $WIM is known in the community as an individual with boundless positive energy, spreading his optimism and high spirits through his music. T $WIM believes that human connection is just as important as the number of streams one can see on the screen. Beyond the stage, he takes the time to network with other artists, connecting with them and seeking out collaborations. T $WIM is driven to create music to help others realize their greatest enemy is themselves, rallying listeners to battle against impostor syndrome. 

Although T $WIM has accumulated moderate success so far, he is determined to create a lasting impact in the music industry. By delivering high-quality music with his unmistakable talent, the rising artist hopes to use his journey as a blueprint for other up-and-coming musicians to strive for authenticity and embrace their uniqueness.

BrxndMe Empowering Athletes with Lucrative Deals and Ownership-oriented Mindset

Getting crumbs off the pie is an option that many people will choose without batting an eyelid. But, seasoned entrepreneur Jamie Smith sees the bigger picture better than anyone and has built a business, BrxndMe, structured around getting the whole pie for her clients and securing a future for them while at it. 

BrxndMe is a brand management agency in the sports, entertainment and business worlds giving its clients direct shots at ownership. BrxndMe works with predominantly college athletes who have visions beyond having an illustrious sports career or just signing an endorsement deal. The agency’s goal is to instil an ownership mindset while guiding them towards achieving that.

BrxndMe is well-positioned and firmly rooted in the brand management industry. The agency has taken a lead position under the new NIL rule (Name, Image and Likeness) and NCAA, with more than ten clients joining the agency in the past year. Some of its clients include Division 1’s most notable prospects like top-projected college safety Jaquan Brisker, Keandre Lambert-Smith, Tank Smith, Hollis Mathis, to name a few. 

BrxndMe’s distinguishing factor as a brand management agency is its principle of putting the athletes first. The agency also makes it a duty to educate the athletes on brand development, business development, financial management, marketing and advertising and day-to-day business operations skills. It sets itself apart from other agencies entering the new NIL rules by taking things beyond sponsorships and endorsements. Describing BrxndMe’s core offering to each of its clients, Jamie said: “BrxndMe’s vision & mission is to educate, mentor and guide each athlete on how to become their own boss, create leverage and teach them how to even negotiate their own deals. We place an established team around the clients such as an accountant, team of lawyers, successful entrepreneurs for mentorship, a team of creatives to build content for the athletes brand, even so much as providing grooming services for the clients.”

BrxndMe takes its representation beyond just business. The agency is heavily invested in its clients’ progress, and it pulls all the stops all the time to ensure they succeed on and off the field. BrxndMe has enjoyed such wholesome leadership under Jamie Smith primarily because she was once a college athlete too and quite understands the challenges the average young athlete faces. She is a former Division 1 college athlete and has expressed her profound desire to help as many athletes as possible become successful.

With more than 30 endorsement deals negotiated and the client portfolio expanding, BrxndMe is also looking at hiring more capable hands to help keep pushing the company forward.

BrxndMe also sets up its athlete clients with their own websites, an LLC, merchandise, clothing line and a full-fledged team of creatives and professionals to turn them into successful entrepreneurs.

Comedian Mr. Mood Changer on Sharing Laughter and Positivity

Social media has given everyone the power to connect with thousands of people at any given moment. Aiming to use social media to share laughter and positive energy, social media and comedian Mr. Mood Changer keeps creating content to brighten everyone’s moods. 

A resident of Montgomery County, Maryland, Mr. Mood Changer sees comedy as a way to uplift the community and help dispel worries through a simple laugh. Jonathan Mensah, the person behind this persona, chose his comedy moniker intentionally. He explained, “I call myself Mr. Mood Changer because that is what I want to achieve. Every day we are bombarded with issues, challenges, and negativity. But when people see my skits on social media, I want them to have this mood shift. I want them to feel lighter and more joyful after watching me.”

Mr. Mood Changer sees comedy as an easy way to combat stress in people’s day-to-day lives. “I started this career because of the love I have for people,” he said, “And I enjoy putting a smile on everyone’s faces when they go to my page and watch my latest skits.” Even during the pandemic, this comedian has been busy creating new content to keep his audience entertained and lift their spirits. “Of course, I am safely doing everything, but I believe people need this extra source of light and joy,” he said.

With a thriving career as a social media comedian with a clear direction and goal, it isn’t easy to imagine that Mr. Mood Changer was not sure of his identity and purpose in the past. Growing up as the youngest of five siblings, he struggled to figure out who he was under the weight of his family’s expectations. This comedian shared, “Being the youngest; everyone had high expectations of me. It took a while for me to figure out what I could excel in, but once I found comedy, it all clicked.”

In creating the concepts for his skits, Mr. Mood Changer looks to his family and community for inspiration. “My mom is my number one inspiration,” he said, “She is a strong-willed woman who always went the extra mile for her five babies. Her strength gives me faith in myself and in what I can do.” 

Doing comedy is not as easy as everyone seems to think. As a comic, Mr. Mood Changer needs to do his research to make pieces that are relevant to the current times. But aside from being relevant, he has to make each story in his unique style and voice. Not a lot of people can do this kind of work consistently, but this comedian is dedicated to his craft. He said, “There’s a lot going on in this world. And through comedy, I want to help people realize that there is still light in this world.” 

In an effort to be a fountain of positivity for his community and online audience, he plans to work with other comedians in the DMV area. “Collaboration could be great, because I know we can come up with great things to help keep the positivity alive. I want to work with other DMV comedians and then one day expand outside this area,” Mr. Mood Changer said. 

Aside from spreading positivity as Mr. Mood Changer, Jonathan Mensah also established the All In Summer Tour. This is a platform Jonathan created so players across the DMV area can compete against each other in high-level one-on-one games. “Fan favorite basketball players can compete with each other in these games, and the fans can come and watch their sports idols play live,” he explained. 

Jonathan Mensah aims to bring positivity with everything he does, whether as Mr. Mood Changer or through games with the All In Summer Tour. “My ultimate goal is to share good vibes however I can.”

3 Costly Blunders to Avoid During International Expansion Efforts

The decision to expand any business into the global marketplace is usually a result of limited growth options at home. The company has already captured as much domestic market share as possible, or developing new products or services is deemed insufficiently profitable. Businesses also tend to follow their competitors into global markets. They make the move hoping to realize some of the same successes and financial rewards.

However, international expansions aren’t free of threats. They can leave companies open to new and unforeseen vulnerabilities.

Achieving global growth means understanding cultural nuances for all operational aspects, including labor markets and advertising. Because of these cultural nuances, mistakes are common. This happens even to big, respected conglomerates at the top of their games. Below are three of the most frequent errors your business should avoid when expanding internationally.

1. Overlooking Local Labor Market Dynamics

Global expansions typically involve hiring local employees and contractors. However, many companies are caught off guard by different employment laws and regulations. These can include everything from how to classify workers to required benefits and payroll taxes. Cultural differences can also impact what type of working conditions, organizational cultures, and management styles workers will tolerate.

The need to hire a mix of remote and onsite international employees can further complicate things. Remote workers who live across political boundaries will still require onboarding, management, and oversight. There may also be language barriers and vastly different expectations and regulations about work-from-home arrangements.

A global workforce report from Remote shows that 30% of business decision-makers are concerned that issues of local compliance will affect their ability to offer remote work options. Differences in labor and tax regulations can slow down or even prevent the hiring of international remote workers. Not understanding these dynamics can also result in expensive fines if authorities discover a business operating out of compliance.

Some organizations choose to hire a local consultant or manager as a workaround. This is usually someone with vast, in-depth knowledge of the country’s labor and tax laws. While this strategy works great for onsite workers, it’s more difficult to implement with a remote team. Using an international payroll or HR management solution can fulfill the same functions as those of a local manager. These solutions ensure your business stays compliant, even as regulatory changes occur.

2. Skimping on Research

When businesses expand into international markets, it can be due to competitive drive or a desire to capitalize on trends. Oftentimes, though, decision-makers don’t take the time to fully research the country and the local market. Even if a market shows overall economic promise, that doesn’t mean there’s sufficient demand for your company’s products or services. There may also be things about your brand, pricing strategy, or general marketing approach that won’t resonate.

Walmart, for example, is generally considered to be a global success story. The company generates billions in worldwide sales and dominates the big box retail market in the United States. However, Walmart tried its trademark “everyday low prices” strategy in the grocery sector in Japan, but the concept never really caught on. As a result, the company eventually decided to sell its interest in the Seiyu grocery chain.

It turns out Japanese consumers aren’t nearly as concerned as American shoppers with finding the lowest-priced deal at a single store. Japanese shoppers would rather search multiple retail locations to find the best price. Walmart didn’t uncover this key cultural and behavioral difference — which would render its American strategy irrelevant — beforehand. The ordinary Japanese consumer didn’t find Walmart’s approach a compelling reason to shop at the grocery chain, so its investment didn’t pan out.

Thorough research, including interviewing locals embedded in the culture, might have helped Walmart avoid this mistake. In this case, testing central messaging and pricing strategies tied to that messaging was overlooked. Even though similarities often exist between cultures, it’s a bad idea to make any assumptions. Walmart’s stumble in Japan provides an object lesson in how slight differences can spell success or failure.

3. Getting Lost in Translation

Unfortunately, you can’t simply rely on Google Translate to help your business craft its advertising messages for international markets. Recent history is full of translation mistakes that ended up costing top-notch companies like Ford and KFC.

At times, translations can be technically correct but don’t take into account cultural contexts, slang words, or dual meanings. You can send the wrong message to your international audience when you’re unaware of these factors. Your business will either have to backtrack marketing themes or face product failure.

One example was when the Ford Motor Company launched a vehicle in Belgium. The goal of Ford’s advertising was to accentuate the quality of its manufacturing process. However, instead of drawing attention to the “body” of the vehicle, the message translated as “corpse” instead. Although Ford still sells its vehicles in Belgium, its sales in that country have steadily declined throughout the past decade. While other factors contributed to this decline, the company’s initial blunder didn’t help.

KFC, on the other hand, overcame an amusing translation error that occurred when it first expanded into China in the 1980s. American consumers recognize KFC by the famous “It’s finger-lickin’ good” tagline. That long-standing campaign emphasizes the irresistible taste of KFC’s chicken. In Chinese, however, that well-known slogan literally translates to “Eat your fingers off” or, worse, “We’ll eat your fingers off.”

Despite this error, KFC was able to regroup, correct its messaging, and move on. Today, KFC is the most popular fast-food chain in China, with more than 5,000 locations.

Due Diligence Can Help Prevent Embarrassing Mistakes

Oversights are bound to happen with any business growth strategy, including global expansions. Venturing into unfamiliar territory can increase the odds that errors will happen, but that doesn’t mean you should avoid it. Learning from the missteps of others — especially your competitors — can prevent your company from doing the same.

Your business must examine local labor and tax regulations, perform thorough market research, and triple-check language translations. Don’t make the mistake of trying to address these three typical pitfalls on your own. It can help to enlist the expertise of local consultants and partners with intimate knowledge of the culture. They can effectively point out the unspoken and subtle distinctions that could end up reshaping your strategy.
