Sometimes the problem isn't that you need another strategy. You need somewhere to practice. Tomorrow I'm starting 5 Days to More LinkedIn Confidence inside my LinkedIn With Confidence community. Each day focuses on one small action: Find someone worth knowing. Join a conversation. Notice who's already noticing you. Start a real conversation. Follow up and keep the door open. No complicated LinkedIn strategy. Just five days of actually using LinkedIn and getting more comfortable doing it. LinkedIn With Confidence is $5/year, and the challenge is included with membership. Join the Challenge If LinkedIn tends to make you overthink every little thing, come practice with us.

Joy can be such a powerful compass for anyone trying to figure out what comes next, and really, for anyone who feels like something is missing. Think about the last time you got so caught up in something that you lost track of time. You were not chasing joy in that moment. You were doing something that fit you, and the joy showed up by itself. That is the part most of us get backwards. We go looking for joy as if it were the goal, when it is really what the life you want produces, whether you plan for it or not. The life is the North Star. Joy is how you know you are pointed at it. 🎈 That is how it went for me. Years ago I stood outside a mall watching a man play the saxophone, and then I went and bought a balloon starter kit. That kit turned into eighteen years of twisting balloons, and somewhere along the way people started calling me the Giggle Therapist. And just to be transparent, I never set out to find joy, and I never set out to make people laugh for a living. I set out to live a life I wanted to live. The laughing, theirs and mine, came along with it. So if the joy has gone missing for you, it does not mean something is wrong with you. It may mean you have been steering by somebody else's star. This week, notice where joy shows up without being invited. That is your direction. If you find it challenging to locate it, download this FREE tool to help you connect with it.

Do you ever know what you should be doing on LinkedIn—but still hesitate to actually do it? Post something. Leave the comment. Start the conversation. Reach out to someone new. Knowing what to do isn't always the problem. Sometimes we just need a little practice. That's why I'm starting 5 Days to More LinkedIn Confidence on Wednesday, October 7. For five days, we'll take one small, practical action each day to help you find the right people, join conversations, start genuine conversations, and follow up. No pitching. No engagement pod. Just practice building real relationships on LinkedIn. The Challenge is included with your $5/year membership in LinkedIn With Confidence.
