Welcome to Beyond the Boardroom - December in Review.
Each month I will write a summary of my almost-daily emails where I highlight the possibilities and opportunities awaiting those stepping away from corporate life.
First up:
This works really well on LinkedIn but... - December 5th
I noticed a lot of people were posting content a certain way on LinkedIn that generated a ton of views.
There was no gimmick like post parties or manipulating the LinkedIn algorithm.
Good content in an easy-to-view format.
So... I took a try at it.

There is a huge demand for my services - December 11th
How do you know if there is a demand for your services?
How big is the demand?
Are there competitors fulfilling the demand?
If you fulfill the demand, will you earn more than your current job?
I could keep going... But you get my point.

Do you remember your first time? - December 11th
Do you remember your first time?
...No. Not that first time.

LinkedIn goes all in on AI - December 15th
LinkedIn goes ALL IN on AI...
I'm also all in if LinkedIn's AI can help people create interesting content.
LinkedIn's newsfeed is full of generic content and it's easy to spot the AI-generated content.
AI is getting better every day, but we have a long way to go.
I'd love to hear what you think about LinkedIn adding AI tools to enhance our LinkedIn experience.

You told me AI would simplify my life - December 21st
Isn't AI supposed to simplify our lives?
I don't know about you, but my head is spinning.
How can we stop the madness and let AI simplify our lives without making our heads spin?
I might have cracked the code! Read this article for more information. Visit my website's blog, or find it on LinkedIn.
Can I take my foot off the gas now? - December 22nd
Years ago, I used to take a few weeks off at the end of the year.
Most people take their foot off the gas after Thanksgiving and coast through December.
Some extend their break well into January.
Question... Have you taken your foot off the gas yet?

My business brain went dead over the holidays - December 28th
I've been in business for over 20 years, and I've never been able to turn off my business brain during the holidays.
Normally, I use this "down" time to catch up on my reading list or watch some of the courses I bought but didn't have time to consume.
I sneak away from the family chaos for a few hours to work on my business.
I'm always waking up in the middle of the night with ideas to grow my business.
I see an ad and I think of ways I could apply their approach to my business.

Part II: Turning off your business brain - December 29th
Earlier I shared that for the first time ever, I've been able to turn off my business brain for the holidays.
This morning I saw a funny headline that may explain why it's getting harder to turn off the noise.
2023: The longest decade
It's estimated that 328.77 million terabytes of data are created each day.
According to WordStream, 500 hours of content is uploaded to YouTube every minute, and one billion hours of content are watched every day.
No wonder we feel overwhelmed.

That's all for this month.
