Follow Deanna on LinkedInFed up. Take no prisoners. They have got to wake up.
Those thoughts best describe how I feel about people tagging for visibility. I don’t know that person but because he or she sees I have a large network, I’m being tagged (with lots of other people) in that post...JUST FOR VISIBILITY. Nope, I’m done. I’m blocking all those people. Build the...
Picture this: you’re driving down the street…
You see a “thumbs up” sign. Perhaps you might think “Nice!” Then you keep driving. Now, what if someone stopped you and asked, “That’s a great car! What model is it? When did you get it?” Wouldn’t you answer and have a conversation? Do you see the difference? A like on LinkedIn (or any social...
I feel very protective of things I care about…including LinkedIn.
I read a Facebook post about being sold to during a 1 on 1 networking call. In the comments of that post, someone said that she was getting really sick and tired of being sold and pitched to via DM on LinkedIn. I instantly went on the defensive in my mind, because I am protective of this platform....
“Congratulations!” the email read.
That email from my attorney (notifying me that the state had approved my business application) started my official journey as a business owner. So it began! In the past year... I learned to plow through challenges, big and small. I learned that there are some amazing and dedicated people who want...
I love supporting small businesses…even before I became a small business owner myself.
Quite a few items under our Christmas tree came from my friend’s store. I’ll post a link to the Cute As A Button Facebook page and website in the comments. I purchased my brand new hat (pictured here) from my high school classmate’s store. I’ll post a link to the Twisted Threads Instagram page in...
LinkedIn is for Solopreneurs, LinkedIn is for small businesses, LinkedIn is for big companies. LinkedIn is for EVERYONE!

I want to grow, I have BIG DREAMS and BIG HOPES for my business. So... In 2021, I want to Leverage Up, LLC all businesses -...
Deanna, you’re going to own your own business.
Yeah, if you would have said that to me 5 years ago, I would have laughed at you. You know what??? I did it. Owning your own biz can be daunting, it can be scary, but looking back at this past year, I can safely say starting this business a 100% POSITIVE experience! Since I started my business, I...
I want to brand myself this year – in 2021.
If this thought has crossed your mind, you are in the right place. LinkedIn is one of the BEST places to make it happen. When I’m working with my clients, I ask them this:“What sets you apart from the crowd?”“What’s your differentiator?” LinkedIn has 760+ million people on this platform. Chances...
Do you have a billboard for your business?
Probably not. How do people find out about your business? A website is like an online billboard for your business. If people don’t know you exist, how can they reach out to you for your services? A great social media presence combined with a great website makes a FABULOUS combination! We recently...
Not stirring the pot with this one, just telling it the way it is.
I got sold to via PM, right after connecting, from someone who is considered a "LinkedIn expert". I was shocked. I was surprised. I was dumbfounded. I read it multiple times to make sure I got it right. Please, if you are working with anyone to help you grow your network here, PLEASE DO NOT SELL...
