Crush Your Writing Goals!

Nadia B. was the first Ghanaian lady I connected with on LinkedIn and since then I've had the privilege of connecting with so many Ghanaians on this blue app. Larissa Fru was the first Cameroon lady I got the privilege to connect with here on LinkedIn. I've lost count of how many Cameroons I've connected with since then. Wanda Ruiz, MEM was the first Puerto Rico lady I recently connected with here on LinkedIn. Newsflash: She had her masterclass webinar recently and it was a blast. There's 1 thing in common among all of them - and that is strategic networking that aligns with SMART goals. The beautiful part was discovering how our goals aligned with our strategies. Now just imagine that I never posted. Just imagine that I never had a profile on LinkedIn. Just imagine that my profile was never optimized. Just imagine that I had no aligned strategy nor goals. Your guess is as good as mine. There would have been no connection. Imagine I kept my writing drafts in the closet or deposited them in the trash can. Imagine I deleted them each and every time I posted... Damn!!! I would never have been discovered. Imagine I kept giving excuses not to post each and every time. Oops... I probably won't even know that there was a Nadia or a Larissa or a Chioma or even a Wanda. How would I have connected with the amazing Chika Ibeh, the brilliant story teller Dr Ishioma Elora Onah, the outstanding Precious Obo, the proactive Victor Ugwuoke, the fabulous Victor Iyanuoluwa ??, my dearest namesy Blessed Afolayan, and so many more amazing personalities like Real Desmond, Joy Mnguember Akaa ??, Zoey Vincent Vevakpor, etc. Now, here's the bottom line of this post. I know you've got something amazing to share with the world, and I'm here to encourage you to let it shine! Don't let perfectionism hold you back - remember, every great thing starts with a small step. Take your time, breathe, and focus on progress, not perfection. Think about that one person out there who's waiting for your message, your story, or your expertise. They need to hear from you! So, take it one step at a time: ??Dust off those drafts ??Weave your story with heart and authenticity (storytelling is key!) ??Share with mentors for feedback ??Make adjustments with confidence ??Implement strategic touches to make it impactful (think visuals, tone, and clarity!)

??Breaking the Code: How I Built a Personal Brand That Inspires It wasn't always like this. I would be lying if I told you it had always been... Let's get real. My journey to becoming a top writing voice on LinkedIn wasn't always a bed of roses. It wasn't always easy, and I'd be lying if I said it was.?? I still recall my journey 2 years ago. Feeling lost in the crowd and trying to find my way around the beautiful street of LinkedIn. A lot has happened since then. My secret sauce? Consistency, passion, a clear purpose, and the Almighty's superabundant blessings.?? People often assume that overnight success stories are the norm, but the truth is, it takes time, effort, and perseverance to break the code. Research shows that: ??97% of entrepreneurs take at least 3 years to build their personal brand (Source: Forbes). ??77% of marketers believe that building a personal brand is crucial for career success (Source: LinkedIn). ??Consistency is key: 91% of consumers value consistency in a brand's voice and messaging (Source: Interbrand). Building a personal brand is a marathon, not a sprint. It's about showing up every day, even when emotions tell you to quit. But the "why" behind your brand is what keeps you going. The vision, the desire to make an impact, and the passion to create something meaningful. Keep showing up, keep pushing forward, and most importantly, keep reminding yourself of your why. Spoiler Alert: Do well to contribute insightful comments on collaborative articles here on LinkedIn. Your Top Voice is coming to you soon.?? What's your story? Give me the gist in the comments. P.S. If you're struggling to find your brand's voice or create a storytelling strategy that leaves your readers in awe, send me a DM "brand voice" or "storytelling strategy" or comment below to start the conversation.

?? I still remember the day I connected with Alexis Ngunyi. A single post from her caught my attention, leading me to her profile, and eventually, a DM that changed everything. Instead of my usual paid marketing strategy, I offered her 3 customized plans for free, carefully crafted to meet her needs like a roadmap. And then, the unexpected happened! She replied within 24 hours, loving the strategies. We scheduled a virtual chat, and since then, we've had 5 productive sessions. One of the marketing strategies is now coming to life, taking shape before our eyes. What made this possible? ??Stumbling upon her post, which led me to discover her existence on LinkedIn. ??Curiosity drove me to explore her profile, revealing our shared interests and potential for collaboration. ??Utilizing the DM feature, which opened the door to our virtual chats. The focus here is clear: authenticity, meaningful networking, building valuable connections, consistency, and seizing opportunities. These are the keys to unleashing powerful relationships here on LinkedIn. Now it's your turn! Share your own stories of authentic connections and meaningful networking experiences in the comments below. What's your story? P.S: Struggling to connect deeply with your prospects in the DM?

What's the best advice you've ever received on LinkedIn? When I started here on LinkedIn, 2 years ago, there were so many of them on my LinkedIn feed. In my quest to get clients, network and build authentic connections here are some suggestions that were given: ??Be authentic and true to yourself. Your unique voice and perspective are what set you apart. ??Don't just connect, build relationships. Engage, support, and uplift others. ??Invest in personal branding. Your online presence is your digital reputation. ??Don't be afraid to share your story. Vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness. ??Stay curious and keep learning. The moment you think you know it all is the moment you fail. ??Be consistent: Regularly post high-quality content to establish your authority and build trust with your audience. ??Listen more than you speak: Engage with others' content, ask thoughtful questions, and show genuine interest in their experiences. ??Embrace imperfection: Share your mistakes and lessons learned, highlighting your growth and humility. ??Celebrate others' successes: Show up for your connections, acknowledging their achievements and showing support. ??Stay adaptable: Be open to new ideas, willing to pivot, and embrace changes in your industry. ??Lead with empathy: Understand and acknowledge others' perspectives, fostering a culture of inclusivity and respect. ??Set boundaries: Establish clear limits and prioritize self-care to maintain your mental and physical well-being. What more can you add to the list? P.S: I'm passionate about using visionary writing and strategic implementations to help your brand's voice echo and reach the hearts of your target audience. Send me a message "brand's voice", let's proceed.

0 leads 0 followers 0 networking 0 connections That was how my journey began here on LinkedIn 2 years ago. I was a stranger in a crowded online world, wondering if my voice would ever be heard. But I had a vision, a burning desire to smash the goals on my list. I started writing, one word at a time. I showed up regularly, even when it felt like no one was watching. I shared my stories, my struggles, my triumphs and I'm still sharing (that's why you are reading this now). I further engaged with others, built relationships, and collaborated with like-minded individuals. However, there were moments I almost quit. There were moments of uncertainty. There were moments my profile was restricted. And yes, there were also moments it seemed as if nothing was working out. But, despite all of these: ??The baby steps mattered. ??The daily efforts added up. ??The vision began to take shape. Fast forward to today, and I'm still in awe of the journey. ??From zero to a community of thousands, ??from silence to a voice that resonates, ??from uncertainty to a clear purpose. Don't underestimate the power of small actions today. Don't underestimate the baby steps. It will pay off someday. Keep writing, sharing, connecting, and strategizing even when it feels impossible. Show up every day, even when it feels like no one is watching. Because the truth is, someone is always watching. So, take the next step. Write that post, make that connection, share your story. Your vision is waiting to unfold. What's your story? Did the baby steps mattered? Let me know in the comments. P.S. I'm passionate about helping others uncover their visionary writing voice and strategic implementation skills. Reach out to me via my profile Blessing. #visionarywriting #strategicimplementation

?? When someone takes a chance on you and accept your connection request, just know that it's more than just a click... It's confidence in you and your work (what you bring to the table of your target audience). It's a declaration that they see value in what you have to offer, and that they're willing to invest time and energy into getting to know you better. I recall when Alexis Ngunyi accepted my connection request, OMG!!! What a dream come true! ?? When someone follows your content, it's more than just a notification. It's a sign that they resonate with your message, appreciate your expertise, and want to learn more from you. They're essentially saying, "Hey, I like what you're putting out into the world, and I want more of it!" I recall when Chika Ibeh followed me here on LinkedIn, I exclaimed with so much passion and excitement! Definitely, I'm doing something right. ?? And when someone gives you an opportunity to work on a job, it's more than just a project. It's a chance to prove yourself, showcase your skills, and create something amazing together. It's a chance to turn your ideas into reality, and make a real impact. Williams Tomide Sodunke gave me that opportunity and I'm still STUNNED! Guess what? He's planning something big for you all. CAR is coming... The Clarity Activation Retreat 3 days webinar will wow you. Do well to follow CorteriX here on LinkedIn, so you will be the first to be updated! Back to my gist..., In each of these moments, someone is choosing to believe in you. They're taking a chance on your potential, your talent, and your dedication. They're saying, "I think you've got this! I trust you, and I know you'll deliver." But here's the thing: belief is a two-way street. When someone believes in us, it's not just about what we can achieve for them - it's also about what we can achieve together. This reminds me so much of Urooj Amjad????. Thanks dear. So let's recognize and appreciate those who believe in us, whether it's through a simple connection request or a life-changing opportunity. Ever had someone who took a chance on you by believing in your skills and capabilities? How did you feel?

LinkedIn Connections are not just numbers... They represent relationships, opportunities, and doors waiting to be opened! Each connection has a story, a struggle, and a success to share. They are potential mentors, collaborators, friends, and supporters. Think about it... Your next business partner, client, or mentor might be just a connection away! But, it's not just about collecting connections. It's about building meaningful relationships, sharing knowledge, and supporting each other's growth. I've personally experienced the power of LinkedIn connections. It was here on LinkedIn I got to know of Real Desmond, Nadia B., Blessing Ehiwario ??, Cynthia Eze, Emmanuella Owoyemi, Hassanah Bolaji (AG_thequeenofclosers), Abigail O. Odelade-Joshua, Uwakmfon Okon Vibha Soni, Victoria Umoh, Yati Bahal and so many others. Guess what? Some days ago, I received a message in my DM on WhatsApp???? "I was wondering if you had any course on branding.... Anything on the topic generally but I wanted it from an expert!" These were my words of reply, "Reach out to Real Diamond for a full package branding. She's 1 of my best referrals. Tell her Blessing Unukpo referred her services to you. That should help." Prior to that, I share the link of Real Diamond's profile to the individual. Why so much confidence? Because I've taken time to build a good network and have been following Real Diamond's posts and profile. That's what building a good network does. I've also experienced referrals from amazing personalities too. Let's not even mention the audio events and virtual meetings with amazing personalities globally. I'm still STUNNED till date! So, let's make a conscious effort to: ??Connect with intention ??Collaborate with passion ??Network with a strong why Let's create a ripple effect of awesomeness on LinkedIn. Are LinkedIn connections just numbers to you? Let me know in the comments.

I Never Had It All Figured Out I'll let you in on a secret: I never had it all figured out. In fact, I still don't. But what I've learned is that nobody else does either. We're all just figuring it out as we go, making mistakes, learning from them, and growing. Resilience is the ability to bounce back from setbacks, to adapt, and to keep moving forward. So, if you're feeling lost or uncertain about your career or business, know that you're not alone. Take a deep breath, be kind to yourself, and remember that every step forward is progress - no matter how small it may seem. And most importantly, cultivate resilience. It will carry you through the tough times and help you emerge stronger on the other side. Ever had to bounce back from a difficult situation in life or in business? #resilience #careeradvice #mentalhealthmatters
