The Made-Up Social Pressure
Sometimes someone says something that requires a response. A well-thought-out, rational response. Sometimes you can’t find the right words right away. So you wait. And wait. Hopefully not too long! Sometimes that someone is Seth Godin. That something social pressure. As he defined yesterday: …something we invent. …something we make up to simplify our decisions. Remember…

How to Get People to ‘Know, Like, & Trust’ You on LinkedIn
People buy from those that they know, like, and trust. Anonymous Sounds simple right? But how exactly do you get people to know you, like you, and trust you in a natural and authentic way? I looked up what the experts say, reflected on my own experiences, and created my own how-to guide for LinkedIn.…

First Robbie, Then James
Almost a year ago, I became obsessed with Robbie Abed‘s content, especially video 8 and 11 in his ‘Coffee With Robbie’ video series , and started seeing how much he respected James Altucher. I didn’t know what the big deal about James was; I didn’t bother to look him up either. That was a mistake because now that I’m…

Why Executives Don’t Engage on LinkedIn
Yesterday Robbie Abed wrote about his observations of writing on LinkedIn. One of his points read: “Executives will never comment, like or share what you write.

I Finally DID It, Then Quickly UNDID It
I’m referring to my #BecauseofLinkedIn video, something that I committed to do in my last post. Earlier this morning, I planned out a script, began recording and ended up starting over a few times. My voice sounded funny, there were too many pauses “ums,” and sideway glances. Not to mention many other things I’m not…

Getting the Writer’s High
A quick glimpse at my recent activity will show you that I don’t normally post a lot of original content. It’s not that I don’t have anything to say, but that I think too much about how others will respond. So, I played it safe by simply liking or sharing business/career articles from sites like…
