LinkedIn Out Of Nowhere

A recent email immediately gave me an idea for a blog post.  And the email was triggered by a LinkedIn contact.

LinkedIn is designed primarily as a professional, business-like social network.

Think of it this way:

  • My Space = your bedroom
  • Facebook = your living room
  • LinkedIn = your office

LinkedIn mostly is a social network where business professionals can share how smart they are.  You know, posting their resume for the entire world to see.

And this is powerful because LinkedIn has something like 40+ million users and is reported to grow to 200-300 million “soon”.

Those who know me well, know that I’m as focused and disciplined as they come.  And I can dress up in a suit and look like I run the joint. But I prefer cut-off jean shorts and barefeet.

Don’t believe me, check out my LinkedIn profile.  It ain’t your typical “I’m so smart, I’m so smart. I’m so smart” resume. Mostly, because, well, honestly, I’m not the brightest bulb in the box.

Anyway, I use LinkedIn as a micro-blog. Every day posting a new status update.  Today’s was simply, Jeff Noel doesn’t think you’ve been to this blog yet: https://jeffnoel.org It’s a dot org

Make it a great day.  It’s absolutely up to you.  Always has been. Always will be.  Carpe diem!

What about 200k?

Yeah, 200,000 is also a big number.  In fact, it’s the number that will make half-a-million possible.

Three is a small number.

What makes this so distracting is that the small number and the huge number are related. And I can’t get that out of my head.

Know how to keep a curious, easily distracted person in suspense (oh look, shiny)?

I’ll tell you tomorrow.  🙂

Half Million?

Half Million?  Sure looks like it.  Dollars?  No.

Something else then?  Of course.  It’s very distracting.  Very.

Half a million is a lot.  It tempts me to forget something critical.

My focus?  Yes.  Exactly.

So, purposely, I’m lifting my foot ever so gently off the gas peddle as I slow things down a bit.  This could put the half-million in jeopardy.
