This article is for the subscribers of what was the LinkedIn Ninja Tips & Tricks Newsletter... it is no more. Neither is the LinkedIn Ninja. If you haven't heard the story, you can get the details by Clicking Here and reading This Post.
There really isn't a way to end and restart a LinkedIn newsletter - I can only change it. So, if you're not interested in the new topic matter, please feel free to unsubscribe.
BUT BEFORE YOU DO... Let me tell you a little bit about who this newsletter is for and what you'll get from it. THEN YOU CAN DECIDE!
Even while acting as the LinkedIn Ninja, I found that I was a catalyst in helping my clients find clarity. Often they would come to me and want help improving their LinkedIn Profile to get more clients or want me to create a lead generation system for them to get more clients, yet they didn't have a well developed brand message or even a clearly defined target market.
I would end up needing to help them with that BEFORE we could even do anything with LinkedIn. It actually used to frustrate me.
But then I realized that their lack of clarity wasn't really what was frustrating me...it was LinkedIn. It was the complexity of how the tool had evolved causing my clients to get overwhelmed. This led them to just want to just "hack" the system to get the leads out of it and not really invest in what I believe to be the most valuable part - relationship building.
That wasn't fun for me. What was fun was watching their eyes light up when they FINALLY had a clearly defined story and message to tell a specific target audience. One client even took to constantly referring to me as the "laser beam lady."
So, that's what I want to do now. Help entrepreneurs (particularly those who are a little - or a lot - woo-woo) get the clarity they need to grow their business. LinkedIn may not be the right tool for them - Ahhh! Sacrilege!
I've had clients get success without using LinkedIn. It's about building a business that is in integrity with who you are, what you value, and how you want to show up. I can help you figure out what works best for you. Then I can help introduce you to the resources who can help you implement.
The Seizing Clarity Daily Newsletter will be delivered weekly on Fridays with tips and discussion topics to help you get or stay in alignment in your everyday life and what take steps to find clarity when the path is murky. Often times, issues with clarity don't appear as an, "I need clarity with this." They appear as a struggle or an avoidance because something is off and your heart and gut know it even though your head thinks everything is clear and good to go.
If you feel any type of internal battle or struggle around doing something you say you want to do, then you don't have clarity. You have faux clarity or there is significant fear. You are not aligned and something inside is saying, "Danger! Danger Will Robinson!"
The other thing I've learned is that just because we've found clarity, that doesn't mean it's easy to stay on the path and continue working to bring forth that upon which you have found clarity. So, I'll also be here to help get you back on the wagon if you fall off.
I hope to be both the angel on one shoulder cheering you on and the devil's advocate on the other encouraging you to look at things that aren't working the way you want from a slightly different perspective.
The path to clarity requires introspection and self awareness and in order for that to be fruitful, you often need an outside source pushing you to ask the hard questions that you've been avoiding. You must step outside your comfort zone - or ask me to push you out because I've been known to do that too!
So, I hope you stick around! Better yet, I'd love for you to share this newsletter with some or all of your connections and encourage them to subscribe.
By the way, I held my first free webinar last Friday called, Seize Clarity with Your 3 Brains. If you missed it, I encourage you to check out the free replay. You can access it here: https://crystalclearcz.com/seize-clarity-with-your-3-brains-replay-optin/
ENJOY! And, send me a DM if there are any specific topics or questions you'd like me to address in the newsletter!
Because...Seizing Clarity is a Daily Habit - Not just an Every Once in a While Exercise!

1 年Hi Crystal - your explanation makes absolutely perfect sense and I can see exactly why you were frustrated with people who weren't clear on what they were up to and in some form and expected you to do that for them. Alas that wasn't quite what you were working with them about, until now! Nice application of clarity yourself!! Kevin
