Dear LinkedIn Family,

Turning Setbacks into Triumphs: Rebuilding My LinkedIn Empire with Quality Connections

Thirteen years ago, I began my journey on LinkedIn, establishing a vibrant community of hundreds of thousands who joined me in the pursuit of professional growth.

Fast forward to 2018, just two months before my wedding—a crisis struck. My business was hacked, and I was abruptly thrown off LinkedIn.

What seemed like a disaster turned out to be one of God's biggest blessings. Grateful for a robust client portfolio and a dependable email list, I weathered the storm, keeping my business afloat during a few challenging years away from LinkedIn.

Beyond Grateful To God for all the Blessings


I came back on this platform during the era of a global pandemic, and I've embraced a new perspective. I've observed a trend among business owners:

  1. Quality Over Quantity: Resist the temptation to focus solely on amassing followers. Instead, prioritize building authentic connections by engaging with your existing network. It's not about the numbers; it's about fostering meaningful relationships.

Quality Matters Over Quantity

2. Personalize Your Interactions: Take the time to understand the individuals in your network. Engage in personalized conversations, acknowledging their achievements, interests, and contributions. Genuine interactions go a long way in establishing a lasting connection.

By contributing meaningfully, you position yourself as a valuable connection, not just another presence in their feed. Here is an example. (full post here)

I've learned that less than 10% of your followers become true cheerleaders, and the most profound transformations happen through meaningful, authentic connections.

So, while others chase the allure of the biggest following, I'm investing my energy in building genuine, human-to-human relationships.

Every setback has been a stepping stone, leading me to this moment where triumph arises from adversity, and quality connections are the true currency of success.
