LinkedIn as the New Publishing Platform

Maybe, but it’s not all about the articles, the links to the articles, the groups with the links to the articles – even if they are all LinkedIn articles. It’s still about the interactions, the feeds, the posts that highlight who you are, what you think and what your opinions are. It doesn’t have to be your company event or the seminar you attended – it can be what you got from either event, expressed in text, no pictures, no tags, no SEO – just your thoughts. LinkedIn has/will always be that social network where the line between professional and

The Definition of Insanity

Love the Life but not the Labour?

You don’t have to go far to read anything on the topic of starting your own company, working on your own, being the Army of two or three or four. All the trials and tribulations you need to go through to make it work (not be a massive success), simply to make it work. It’s not easy, never has been, never will be. There are way too many articles out there to list them all on the subject. Here’s what it takes; Constantly living with the unknown and understanding that tomorrow could change your course.
