I haven’t been to a large networking event in 3 years. I’ve never been to Texas either. I’ve never invested the money in my entrepreneurial journey like I am this week. So many firsts. I am really looking forward to learning, meeting people and growing at the Badass...

No, it’s not just that type of post but for me this lunch was a very big deal. I’ve been working with my clients for the past two and a half years via Zoom. Virtual meetings is my “go to”. I can and have worked with people across the US and around the world. Chris...

A recent connection of mine wrote this in a comment and I asked her permission before using it as inspiration for this post. “I get way too many sales people coming at me from all angles. Worse is that they can track down my work email and send email blasts, nonstop....

That’s what a neighbor of mine said at the bus stop this morning. I want to show people here that LinkedIn doesn’t “shut down” for three days. We are ready to learn, ready to comment, ready to build relationships, regardless if it’s a...

It’s a quote from the 1970s movie Kung Fu and it applies to the life of an entrepreneur too. This was the perfect quote for what happened this afternoon. I was impressed. This grasshopper stayed on the windshield wiper of my minivan for more than 2.5 miles. I could...

That might seem like a lot, but if you look at the big picture, it’s just a small number. I am fortunate to be connected to 23,905 people and followed by 26,089 people here. Keeping it all in perspective, the majority of the people who are connected with me or...

So why do so many people just use their job titles as their headline here on LinkedIn? It’s a head scratcher. Take that step away from using LinkedIn as an online resume and really sell yourself in that headline! Which headline do you like better? 1. Business...

It’s called getting the message out to the masses. When it comes to what to do and what not to do on LinkedIn, there are a LOT of opinions swirling around the internet. I speak from experience. I’m not guessing, I have found what works and have had success. I...

Why? A very small percentage of people on LinkedIn are posting original content on a consistent basis. If you’re nervous about posting content here or perhaps you don’t know what to post about or what direction to take your posts, I have a message for you....

So I’m posting a video for the first time in months AND I’m using a couple of examples of DMs to teach a lesson. When you’re connecting with someone you don’t know, it’s more powerful to say who you are what you’re all about then it is to say something that...

It’s not a place for sales people to sell via cold call DMs or pitch slaps or spammy messages. It is a place to get to know one another. It’s a networking event with 830 Million other people. This post was inspired by another conversation that I engaged here. We don’t...
