End of year cleaning up and planning...

Time to clean up!

At this time of the year, when all the sales calls are done, and the new contracts signed ready for 2023, I turn to two things in my business: planning and housekeeping.

Let's start with the plans. You may have seen over on the Company Page that this year, I have taken the leap to employ my first team member. The rest of my fabulous team are all contractors - but this is going to change in 2023. So plan A - build the team. Plan B - get clients for my team to serve.

Next plan - continue building the YouTube channel and start more public speaking. I am booked to speak at a conference for lawyers in the UK in March and cannot wait. (If you are hosting or organising a conference for law firms, then consider reaching out to me - I promise a lively, engaging, interesting and VALUABLE session on using LinkedIn.)

** I am hosting my annual in-person one day workshop in Belfast on 10th February **

But before I dive deeply into my plans to grow this business in 2023, I need to do a little housekeeping. Starting with my LinkedIn network.

Take a moment and look at your network on LinkedIn.

  • Do their posts interest you?
  • Are the newsletters interesting to read?
  • Are you following pages and have no idea why?
  • How many people are you following and who is following you?

I made a little video to help you with all of this:

It is amazing. I unfollowed about 100 pages and it turns out, I am subscribed to over 60 newsletters, the majority of which I am neither interested in, nor have read!

My teenagers tell me that unsubscribing to newsletters online helps the planet. Now, I would prefer you stay subbed to THIS one... but if it is not actually of interest to, then let's do our little bit to help the polar bears. (showing my age there... yes I am in my late forties and we relate everything climate-change to polar bears in this house)

Once you begin to clean up your network, then the next tip - start planning your 2023. What are you going to use LinkedIn for? Here's my plan:

  • Grow a network of value
  • Create content that helps people

Nice and simple.

How can I help you with both of the above? Stay subscribed and find out.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas, happy holidays and let's catch up in the New Year

I am loving this. Digital decluttering is my goal for 2023. I will be focusing on LinkedIn a lot more in 2023. It's so organized and streamlined better over here. Ah!! Here's to 2023 and beyond.

I do this at the end of every year. I started off with FB groups and then moved over here to connections. It’s been a game changer and it’s very freeing too.
