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.

(And "viral" is relative here. I'm no Taylor Swift.) The posts...
The metric nobody talks about
Why isn't anyone talking about profile views? It's a killer data point. Maybe the killer data point. And almost everyone ignores it in favor of the metrics that feel good but tell you nothing. Here's the question that actually matters: how many people are looking at my page? That matters a heck of a lot more to me than how many people are commenting on my posts. Why? Because 99% of my clients n...
You're Going to Use AI Anyway. Let's Talk About It.
  You're going to use AI, but I want to help you use AI better.  This isn't me shaming you. I use AI too. Daily. It's a phenomenal thinking partner. What I haven't let go of is the fear underneath it. Because there are two things AI takes from you: First: You never learn to write. Writing isn't the thing you do after you've figured out what you think. Writing is how you figure out what you thin...
