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!

What to Post on LinkedIn When You Have No Ideas
You do not have an ideas problem. You have a capture problem. Ideas come to you in the shower. In the pickup line. At 11pm when you are half asleep. Then you sit down Tuesday morning with a blank screen and nothing. The idea was never the issue. You just had nowhere to put it. Here are the 3 systems I use. None cost money. None require you to add anything to your tech stack. 1. One note in your...
How to Find the Stories That Should Anchor Your Brand
My best posts are almost always stories. That does not mean every post should be a story. It means you should know your stories cold, because the stories you repeat become your brand. I call mine cornerstone stories. Here are my 3: 1. I was a broke single mom when I came to LinkedIn. 2. I watched my dad go from poverty to millionaire. 3. I was the last person to find out about my 2018 divorce. ...
