It's ok to decline an op if it doesn't suit your direction right now.
Opportunities will always come your way if you continue to contribute
It's ok to outsource the things that aren't in your zone of genius
Social selling; Arena, space where anyone with anything to sell, if they're selling online they're social selling
YOU SELL TO THOSE WHO KNOW AND TRUST YOU

Organic reach on LinkedIn is so much higher than Facebook and other social media platforms
It's the #1 business to business platform
LinkedIn average age is 35. For Instagram and Facebook it's 21.

Best LinkedIn tips: Your value proposition should be on your storefront (your about page), grow your network daily (target your ideal customer), create core branding pillars that you represent and commit to posting on that daily, share the content you're passionate about.
The biggest mistake on LinkedIn headlines and summaries are about showboating experiences instead of who and how you can serve.
