I was 22 when I posted my first video on LinkedIn. I'm now 26. 🀯 I have grey hair too... so time flies πŸ˜‚. In all seriousness though, before I really got started I walked up to someone that was partly responsible for all of the attention LinkedIn was getting: Josh Fechter. I told him that I looked up to him and wanted to do something similar. The first thing he told me was, "unfollow me." And that's stuck with me. Here's why: βœ… You will never lead if you only follow. You will never innovate if you only imitate. And that goes for everything – content, speaking, business, etc. βœ… You can (and totally should support people). Josh wasn't telling me to unfollow everyone. He was telling me to tune out the noise and find my own voice. βœ… I was never going to beat Josh, at being Josh. Just like you won't beat me at being me... and no one else will beat you at being you. "It's good to be better, but it's better to be different." – Sally Hogshead. If you want to be great... be different. Create color television when everyone is still watching in black & white. #justQ πŸ––πŸΎπŸ–€ …see more
