LinkedIn Shows Its True Colors
When I was young, I physically experienced what it's like to swim upstream.
Or more accurately, paddle upstream in a canoe with my father.
Phew, it was hard work!
So, it wasn't foreign when I applied this principle to my first business. Especially when it required ignoring traditional wisdom.
According to the experts:
I bought into most of these after I graduated from college as a returning student. Probably because it was easy.
But after many interviews without a full-time offer, I decided to try something else.
Do exactly the opposite.
Almost two years later after launching Elijah Wordsmith, I haven't looked back.
Why?
God gave me a second chance at life after Leukemic cells overran my body. And my parents didn't raise me to put on my faith when it was convenient.
I found a welcoming community on Gab and have partnered with entrepreneurs who share my values. Now I get to promote their small businesses through content writing.
LinkedIn was a tool that helped me grow professionally. To provide my first marketing opportunity. To connect with clients.
But in their concerted push to silence free speech, I can't continue to feed the algorithm and monopoly.
Thanks to all who've believed in me throughout my career. I'm thankful for every amazing one of you!
I'll continue to spread the truth around the holistic industry via the blog on my website.
And I also invite you to follow me on Gab for ongoing posts.
God bless you!
