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.

You don't have a content problem. Sort of.
LinkedIn is a long game. But the algorithm isn’t. Most people understand the first part. Very few understand the second. LinkedIn feels like a compounding platform. You build an audience, you stay consistent, and over time your content starts to work for you. That part is true. But under the hood, the system operates very differently. LinkedIn’s feed only actively retrieves content from roughly...
Become a better writer in 3 simple steps.
3 ways to become a better writer [each one takes under 90 seconds to learn]. 1. Read your writing out loud. Your ear catches what your eye misses. Clunky sentences, repeated words, and awkward phrasing all reveal themselves the moment you hear them. If you stumble reading it, your reader will too. This one habit alone will do more for your writing than any course, any book, or any amount of sta...
