Why I Was No Longer Active on LinkedIn?

A few years ago, LinkedIn was my favorite social media. I literally love the contents, ideas, and various opportunities on the platform. I can boldly say I got almost all my jobs after University on this platform. I had over 10,000 connections with rich content on my timelines that keep enlightening me every day. Most of the fantastic friends or former colleagues were from this platform.

I would admit that the people I have met on this platform had made me become who I am today. I now have my own company and excellent connections from everywhere in the world. To the extent that whenever I am traveling, I don't have to think too hard. I am sure I know someone from that city. This reminds me of Kyrgyzstan's planned trip, where I was already feeling at home before I arrived in the country. Yet, I lost the platform's initial feeling because it started looking different from the usual LinkedIn I know.

Although, I think this lost feeling when I left my one of my previous workplace where I share travel content to my audience on this page. I still had this fond memory of people sending messages when I forget to post travel content for the week. When I left this place, I became lost trying to figure out my next plan or move in my career.

Then, the entrepreneur world set in! This was when I had to do the job of a Managing Director, Accountant, Customer Service Rep, Travel Writer, Tour Guide, Receptionist, etc... I remember how I broke down in tears one day, thinking how I would survive for a few months if I continue with this way.

But there is always a big hope when you are still breathing. 

Magically, yes, I would say Magically, I had some staff on board because I can't really remember when I made that financial decision to employ people. Then, I got a workspace, and that was the beginning of my sweet entrepreneurship journey at the end.

By that time, I discovered myself again - it is almost 3 years. Then, I had this stranger feeling on the platform. Oh, I remember the first content made me lose more interest when I saw posts on my timeline similar to a Facebook timeline. I love Facebook, but I am hoping for more professional content when I open my LinkedIn page.

In the end, I am still grateful for this fantastic platform because I don't think I would have the opportunities to meet great professionals that defined my career path here.

Thank you, LinkedIn!
