Read time: 2 minutes Hey Reader, You might remember the story about my assistant Lou. A lady called Lisa reached out to see if she could work with her. Well, this is only half the story. Lisa also asked if I could take her on as a new client: The problem? I wasn't taking on new clients. My hands were too full. But rather than fritter the lead away (like I usually do), I thought back to my conversation with Sara. Sara took part in one of my 30-Day Writing Challenges and made it clear she's...

It's crept up on me this year, and I want to share how I'm working through it. I think you'll find it helpful — especially if you feel the same way. Okay, let me set the scene. After Tim Denning audited my profile (see last email), my LinkedIn has changed a lot. The challenge is figuring out what I want to be known for. On the one hand, I love what I do,...
