11,000+ Followers - Thank You! Let's Start Over. Hi, I'm Elliot, Nice To Meet You.

Welcome to the daily newsletter, "An 'E'-volving Mindset ". Join Elliot, 'E' as he shares lessons learned, old-school guidance, and tips in business, leadership, and life; leaving a legacy for his children and grandchildren.

First, catch this week's What I Learned This Weekend weekly newsletter which shares posts worth saving, people to follow, articles I've read, what I found on social media, and "Innovative Profiles Headlines".

You can also check out and subscribe to the monthly Stop Selling; Start Helping newsletter that shares "Thoughts, Lessons, and Rumblings from 30 years of Sales and Sales Leadership."

Should I be expecting a LinkedIn plaque celebrating surpassing the 11k mark like YouTube celebrates their creator awards? (Good idea right?) I don't know how my follower count matches up with others but it's not my primary focus. I did a bit of digging and was unable to find these statistics.

Thank you to all those who have joined me in my second act which I refer to as Elliot 2.0. Turning 50 has given me an extra jolt on top of the two cups of coffee I had this morning. Many of you have begun following me upon seeing one of my #HiringHeroes posts.

If the concept of Hiring Heroes is new to you, you can quickly get caught up here. And make sure to be vocal here.

With all the frustration we see people going through as they struggle to find their next job, on a small level, it's nice to know that there are authentic and caring people on LinkedIn that intentionally share open roles they find in their network. Many of them index and verify the open roles making it easier for those searching and applying to what seems to be hundreds of positions.

The Hiring Heroes initiative is my small way of doing what I can to help promote these unsung heroes and by proxy job seekers. Ten minutes here, five minutes there, my father used to say:

"It's the little things that often make the biggest difference."

Hitting the 11,000 mark made me feel it was time to introduce and to many re-introduce myself. My intention is to create the opportunity for us to connect on a deeper level as well as lay down the foundation for warm engagements with each other.

I'm a people person. I love people, well most people. I'm also a salesperson, and proud of it. But I didn't always feel that way about sales.
