A black and white photo of a woman making a hush sign with her finger.

Some of you have been asking why I rarely share LinkedIn tips in my emails. When I wrote the first edition of Ultimate Guide to LinkedIn for Business almost a decade ago, every email I sent was related to LinkedIn.To be honest, focusing on LinkedIn “how to’s” got pretty boring. For you and me.It was kinda like More…


Silhouette of a woman doing yoga at sunset.

Don’t worry. I’m not getting all touchy, feely. My son bought me a Fitbit Versa 3 for Christmas. Now I know how well I slept last night according to data points. How many times I turned over. How many calories I burned on my Peloton ride this morning. My heart rate, resting heart rate and heart rate variability. And a million More…


A man and woman talking in an elevator.

Remember the days when someone would ask “What do you do?”You would reply with a catchy one-liner.”I help struggling entrepreneurs build a 6-figure business working just 4 hours a week from anywhere in the world”The goal of your elevator pitch is to get them to say “That’s interesting, tell me more”That used to work 20 More…


A drop of water with a blue background.

Last month my neighbor’s water bill was over $200. That’s extremely high given she passed away a few months ago and nobody lives there. Her sister called me and asked me to look for a water leak. Turns out the toilet was running so being the nice neighbor I am, I offered to fix it (plumbers in Marin More…


A starbucks coffee cup sits on a wooden table.

It’s harder than ever to stand out from the crowd.In February 2020, I spoke at Gary Barnes’ Breakthrough Business Mastery Bootcamp. I did a search for “coach” on LinkedIn. There were 2.3 million people on LinkedIn with the word “coach” in their profile. Today, there are over 6 million “coaches” on LinkedIn. I’m sure there are more consultants, entrepreneurs, More…


Get the only emails anyone likes anymore.

A lot of you have been asking me about the big change in my emails. I really stepped up my email game in 2020 (thanks for noticing!!) I’ll tell you how I did it in a minute… I used to randomly email you. I didn’t have a plan. I didn’t have a clue. Maybe I was launching a new course or More…


Does this count as engagement?.

Yesterday Microsoft announced earnings were up 17% last quarter. LinkedIn revenue was up 23% last quarter. LinkedIn sessions were up 30% last quarter with record engagement. It seems like the same results every quarter since Microsoft purchased LinkedIn in late 2016. Pandemic or not, LinkedIn is hitting its stride and my business is thriving because of it. To play More…

A man in a red hoodie sitting at a desk with a laptop.

A few years ago, one of my clients told me the bar is very low on LinkedIn. What he meant was people don’t know how to use LinkedIn to build relationships.  I see a lot of my “competitors” teaching you the latest LinkedIn “hacks”. Do you really want to use “hacks” to build your business? Do you really believe More…


The myspace logo on a blue background.

Years ago, Perry Marshall warned us about relying on one traffic source or one platform for our revenue.At the time, Google Adwords was Perry’s primary source of traffic and he saw the warning signs as Google started making massive changes to Adwords. Perry taught us todiversify our traffic sources AND focus on getting people on More…
