Your 5% Makes 100% of the Difference

Hey!

The key to standing out isn’t blending in—it’s owning your quirks. (I call these your 5% differentiators.) These are key for several reasons:

1. They attract your ideal audience 

2. They define and strengthen your personal brand

2. They help you stand apart from others in your niche

3. They’re how you make all your content authentically you 

 My LinkedIn™ success took off when I shared personal stories:

  • My experience with divorce.

  • Growing up in a family business.

  • My "cat lady" tendencies.

Now, I don’t write posts solely based on these topics. But these details are trickled into my profile page, my posts, my comments, and my DMs. 

Your "5%"—the unique parts of you—holds 100% of your value. Own it, and watch your connections deepen.

What’s your "5%"? Let me know—I’d love to celebrate it with you.

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...
