The Potential for Good

Hey!

The #1 reason most people don’t post on LinkedIn?

Fear.

I get it. LinkedIn™ can feel intimidating. Your coworkers, former managers, and potential clients are all here—watching. With nearly 1 billion users and half of them logging in monthly, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by all the potential eyeballs on your posts.

But let me ask you this: What’s the actual worst thing that could happen?

Maybe "T-Dawg" from sales makes a jab at your post?

Now, consider the upside—the potential for good:

Teach others and position yourself as a thought leader.
Learn and grow by engaging in meaningful conversations.
Build a brand that attracts opportunities.
Expand your audience and grow your business.
Inspire someone with your unique perspective.
Make new connections and foster friendships.
Create new revenue streams that support your dreams.

The list of potential positives far outweighs the negatives.

Fear will always be there. But what’s scarier? Posting and risking a jab from someone irrelevant—or staying silent and missing out on your potential?

In 2025 (and beyond), I hope you lean into the possibilities LinkedIn™ offers. Be more afraid of what you’re missing out on than of what someone might say.

So, here’s my question to you: What’s one positive thing that’s come from engaging on LinkedIn? Does that fear matter more than that?

Your voice matters—let it be heard.

You don't have to give the setup, the background, the "so a little context first." You can drop your reader straight into the moment that matters and trust them to keep up. Because honestly? The announcements, the introductions, the team-offsite hype, w...

Do you know your brand relatives?

Do you know your brand relatives? Not your competitors. Your relatives. This might be the single most underrated concept in personal branding, and once you see it, you can't unsee it. Here's the family tree. Brand Fraternal Twins Same industry. Same audience. Different delivery. Think Brené Brown and Simon Sinek. Both talk about leadership and human behavior. But Brené leads with vulnerability ...

LinkedIn is a long game. The algorithm isn't.

LinkedIn is a long game. But the algorithm isn't. And confusing those two things will quietly wreck your momentum. Here's the mechanic almost nobody talks about. LinkedIn's feed system actively retrieves content from roughly the past 30 days. That's the window it's working with when it decides what to surface and to whom. Which means: If you disappear for a month, you're not "slowing down." You...
