So I’m mowing the lawn today…for the first time in years (my husband usually takes care of that) and thinking, “How can I relate this to LinkedIn?”
Then it hits me - this is maintenance. Just like caring for your lawn, you have to maintain your profile here. I actually did some maintenance on my own profile yesterday. I changed up my About section and my Banner photo. Why? I’m evolving and I think it’s important that people understand more...
“I want people to come to me.”
I said: “I can help with that.” That was a part of a conversation with a prospect yesterday. Inbound sales is an amazing thing. I don’t like cold calling. It’s probably my least favorite thing about sales. Good thing is I don’t have to do it. Since I started engaging AND creating content here on...
Fed 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!
That’s why I’m planning to scale up my business in 2021. Up until now, I’ve been working with people 1-on-1 to grow their network, their business, their presence on LinkedIn. 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...
