LinkedIn needs a f*cking reality check

LinkedIn for Trailblazers & Disruptors ??Freedom & Permission to be YOU ?? Your Partner to Lead & Rise ?? Sweary, Menopausal & Proud to be Irish ?? LinkedIn Mindset & Brand Strategist ?? True Crime Addict
I'm sooo done with the grey suit corporate posts, the endless motivational drivel, the “10 things successful people do before 8am,” and of course let's not forget “I work 120 hours a week to be successful” hustle that’s beyond a bloody joke now!
It’s time we rip up the rulebook and chuck it out the window
If you're like me, you're here because you want to build your brand, your business, and your impact, without losing the will to live in the process
Let me to show you how
1 - Calling out the spammy DMs
You know the ones I’m on about
You accept a connection and 3 minutes later you get a message like: “Hey [Insert Name],thanks for connecting! If you’re interested in boosting your business, let’s hop on a quick call. Here's my diary link"
Ehhh no, I’m not “interested in boosting my business”
I’m interested in keeping my f*cking sanity on here, not getting spammed from arseholes like you!
Stop pretending everyone is your ideal client
LinkedIn’s full of “I only want to work with my ideal client”
Well yes of course we all do
But LinkedIn is about networking. If you’re turning down everyone who isn’t your ideal client you’re missing out on some great opportunities
Not everyone has to fit into your dream client box of ideal but it's okay (and in fact I encourage it) to connect with people who might not be your target audience or might not end up paying you, but they might still know someone who does. Networking doesn’t always need to be transactional
It’s about making a human connection
Can we please forget the LinkedIn “Content Strategy” that everyone else is doing
Everyone's out here talking about the “perfect content strategy”, "my secret sauce to having a viral post" blah blah blah
Just post what you actually want to bloody post
Share what gets you excited
Give people something that feels real, raw and relatable not just for an algorithm hack
Post your thoughts with no filter
Let people know when you screw up
Be messy
Be honest
That’s the only strategy that’s going to actually going to cut it in 2025.
LinkedIn’s a playground, your stage, not a f*cking prison
YOU get to decide how you show up, what you share and how you connect with people
Don’t let anyone tell you it has to look a certain way
That's bullshit!
You make the rules here
You're in control
So if you want to disrupt the hell out of this platform then JFDI
That's what I'm here - creating a movement to challenge the status quo on here. If you want in just DM me ILLUMINATI for info
