LinkedIn and the art of self-promotion

Bryan Follicle, Thought Leader, Serial Founder, Dad, Husband, Son: Don’t let anyone tell you that your dreams are unattainable. By the time I was 14 I was a millionaire several times over. By the time I was 21, I was bankrupt. By the time I was 28, I was a billionaire. I’m now 34, and slightly nervous. Life is a journey. Travel well.

Vincent Vincenti, Global CEO, CFO, CTO, CMO and CHRO: Thank you, Bryan. This is so true.

Dale Commerce, 12 Exits, No BS: If you are reading this, you are a total loser. Put down your phone and get off social media. Start coding the app that will make you rich. Learn the skill that will propel your next business. Every hour you spend not working towards your goal takes an hour off your life. If you want to read my 12-page guide to success, just write WINNER in the comments. #Boss #Mindset #Winner

Vincent Vincenti, Global CEO, CFO, CTO, CMO and CHRO: WINBER

Sarah Green-Brown, International Thought Leader, QXIG Top 1,000 40 Under 40 List Two Years Running: Resilience is a superpower. I have spent the past year trying to find my next role, and never got an interview. Yesterday I got cold-called by a headhunter and was offered my dream job. I stayed in the fight. The fight stayed in me.

Herman Flange, Product Leader, 28,000 LinkedIn followers and counting: I have hired hundreds of job candidates during my career. The best applicants follow one simple rule that they don’t teach you in business school: don’t blink. I don’t mean this metaphorically. Blinking signals uncertainty and fear. Blinking suggests lack of interest in the opportunity. Stay focused on your questioner. Make eye contact and maintain it relentlessly. Don’t blink. Never blink.

Shruti Shetty, Bestselling Author, TEDx Audience Member: Love this advice. If you want to know more about how to land the perfect job, check out “Career!”, a book I wrote on the subject.

Anne Smalls, Careerpreneur, 950 Achievements on Strava: Hire for Potential. Hone for Performance. #HipHop

Harriet Phyllis-Crowbar, Author and Thought Entrepreneur, No Longer Accepting LinkedIn Connection Requests Because I Have Reached Maximum Allowable Number: Everyone should check out this video of Steve Jobs when he returned to Apple. The way he handles this audience question is a lesson to everyone. #Grace

Raleigh Mundesley, Senior Business Development Leader: Congratulations, Henry. If you need help scaling your podcast audience, DM me.  ■
