The Power of Scalable Steps

The Only Way to Actually Scale LinkedIn™

Hey There!

We’ve all been there: standing firmly and solidly in your very own way. 

When I first started on LinkedIn™, I had this mindset: I’ve gotta do everything at once, and I’ve gotta do it perfectly.

Spoiler Alert: That didn’t work. Hahaha. 

It wasn’t until reality settled in that I decided to do what I could right, then to build from there. For example, when everyone was screaming “DO VIDEOS EVERY DAY!”, I started with 1 simple video a week that I recorded without editing. Then, I scaled that style for 18 months before really going all-in on video. 

The key is breaking down your goals into smaller, scalable steps. Once I did that - everything changed:

  • 3 posts per week → 5 posts → 7 posts

  • Sticky note selfies → branded photos → designed slides

  • Instagram story videos → fully captioned LinkedIn™ videos

It wasn’t overnight. But by starting small and building momentum, I hit my goals.

What’s one goal you can break into smaller steps today? I’d love to hear it!

10 lessons on writing...
I've been a writing for aliving for almost 20 years. Here are 10 things I've learned: 1. To be a "writer," the qualifications are simple: You write. 2. Writing well is hard. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't been writing long enough. 3. You don't have to write linearly. If you know where you want to land, start with the last sentence ("punchline" or "reveal") and build around it. 4. Writing is t...
1 truth to accept about LinkedIn™...
One truth we should all accept about LinkedIn: You can post daily. You can post helpfully. You can post strategically. You can post aesthetically. You can follow all the LinkedIn-lebrities and do every single thing they tell you to do. ... and still not become "famous" on LinkedIn. It's not going to happen for everyone. Cold, hard facts. But also ... facts that may set you free a little? Becaus...
