Because most people think networking on LinkedIn means waiting for the right people to magically find them.

Now, I'm not saying that won't happen if you're taking the right actions...

But LinkedIn also gives you tools to actively go find your people.

For example:
๐“๐ก๐ž ๐ฌ๐ž๐š๐ซ๐œ๐ก ๐›๐š๐ซ.

I know. Not very exciting.
But hear me out.

Most people only use the search bar when they're looking for someone's name.

โ†’ Maybe they met someone at an event.
โ†’ Maybe they received a referral.
โ†’ Maybe they're trying to reconnect with someone.

Great.

But that's only one way to use it.

Think about it this way:

LinkedIn is a platform where people use their real names and real professions.
That means you can search for much more than names.

โ†’ Looking to connect with people locally?
๐’๐ž๐š๐ซ๐œ๐ก ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐œ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ.

โ†’ Looking for potential clients?

โ†’ Looking for referral partners?
๐’๐ž๐š๐ซ๐œ๐ก ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐œ๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ž๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐š๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐Ÿ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ.

You can also combine searches. This is something I learned from Brittany Miller...

Let's say you're looking for Financial Advisors in Ontario.

You can search:

Financial Advisor AND Ontario

Just remember that AND needs to be written in capital letters for LinkedIn to recognize it properly.

Simple.

So if you've been wondering how to find your people on LinkedIn, start with the search bar.

You might be surprised by how many interesting people are already waiting for you there.

Wait a minuteโ€ฆ

After more than 3 years working with Canadian entrepreneurs, Iโ€™ve noticed something both in my business and with my clients:

There are seasons.

Seasons where inquiries are flowing.
Seasons where conversations are happening naturally.
And seasons where things feelโ€ฆ quieter.

Ebbs and flows are normal.

And this is something I always remind my clients of:

๐…๐จ๐œ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐จ๐ง ๐ฐ๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐œ๐š๐ง ๐œ๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐จ๐ฅ.

Social media can support your business, yes.
But there are many other things that can help you get your next client too.

Here are a few things I personally focus on when things feel slower:

โ†’ ๐„๐ง๐ ๐š๐ ๐ž ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฉ๐ž๐จ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ž ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐š๐œ๐ญ๐ฎ๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐š๐ง๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก
Go comment, start conversations, support their content, and stay visible.

โ†’ ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐ ๐ซ๐ž๐ฅ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐ฉ๐ฌ ๐›๐ž๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ๐ž ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ง๐ž๐ž๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ฆ
Donโ€™t wait for a slow season to start building genuine relationships with collaborators, referral partners, or potential clients.

โ†’ ๐Œ๐š๐ค๐ž ๐ข๐ญ ๐จ๐›๐ฏ๐ข๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎโ€™๐ซ๐ž ๐จ๐ฉ๐ž๐ง ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐›๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ

Life happens. Sometimes people need a reminder.

โ†’ ๐ˆ๐ง๐œ๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ฌ๐ž ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ญ๐จ๐ฎ๐œ๐ก๐ฉ๐จ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ
Talk about your services in your stories, newsletters, posts, commentsโ€ฆ not just once.

โ†’ ๐†๐จ ๐›๐š๐œ๐ค ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฐ๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ก๐š๐ฌ ๐š๐ฅ๐ซ๐ž๐š๐๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค๐ž๐ ๐›๐ž๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ๐ž
Where were your past clients coming from?
Can you double down on that?

And rememberโ€ฆ

People are watching quietly.
Researching.
Reading your content.
Checking if they trust you enough to work with you.

So if things feel slower right now, donโ€™t panic.

Go back to the basics.
Focus on whatโ€™s in your control.
And keep going, my friend.

โ†’ Spent the first 10 days of the month packing, organizing, and leaving things as settled as possible in Chile before our return.
โ†’ Flew back to Canada with a smooth trip and no complications at all, other than very little sleep during a 16-hour journey.
โ†’ Enjoyed three days in Mississauga and the surrounding area, saying hi and bye to friends again before starting our new adventure.
โ†’ Hired someone to start outsourcing some tasks in my business. Iโ€™m super hopeful and I know things will go great.
โ†’ Completed a 37+ hour road trip from Mississauga, Ontario to Spring Lake, Alberta in 6 days. Everything went smoothly and we really enjoyed the experience.
โ†’ Got settled in the place where weโ€™ll be staying for the summer season, and everything has been calm and smooth so far.
โ†’ It feels great to be back and able to return to my RV routines again.
โ†’ I canโ€™t believe Iโ€™m saying this, but Iโ€™m so happy to be back to cheaper food ๐Ÿ˜… Canada is not cheap, but Chile has become incredibly expensive.
โ†’ This was the first month running our Airbnb remotely, and it went really well. We had great occupancy, and our cleaning support there has been amazing.

โ†’ This one was tough. Returning to the RV without Corita was really hard. All her things were still here, all her beds (she had many), blanketsโ€ฆ everything. Iโ€™m still keeping some of her things because I donโ€™t feel ready to let her go yet. Some items have gone to donations, but itโ€™s painful to see sheโ€™s not here anymore.

I knowโ€ฆ I even said yesterday that Iโ€™m the worst Social Media Manager for my own business.
And of course, the first reaction is to be hard on myself and think I should just push harder.

But then I realizedโ€ฆ
Itโ€™s not like Iโ€™ve been doing nothing.

The past few weeks Iโ€™ve been in full outsourcing mode:
โ†’ documenting processes
โ†’ hiring support
โ†’ making sure things will run smoothly behind the scenes

And thatโ€™s without counting:
โ†’ managing our Airbnb in Chile
โ†’ moving from Chile back to Canada
โ†’ completing a 37+ hour road trip across provinces

Okayโ€ฆ I think I actually had a few things going on.

One thing Iโ€™ve learned is that I can always return to rhythm,
and this is what Iโ€™ll be doing moving forward:

โ†’ Iโ€™ve been consistently sending my newsletter since December, and I can absolutely reuse that content for LinkedIn (friendly reminder that you can do that too)

โ†’ I created a content calendar for my own business.
Funny enough, I do this for every single client, but I wasnโ€™t doing it for myself.

My fellow social media managers will understand when I say weโ€™re always told to โ€œ๐˜ต๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ด ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ค๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ตโ€โ€ฆ and yet weโ€™re usually the first ones to postpone our own marketing.

โ†’ Now that Iโ€™ve released some of the pressure from documenting what needed to be outsourced first, I want to be more intentional with my own content and presence online, especially on LinkedIn.

So this is your reminder:

Things feel lighter from a mindset perspective when I remind myself that there are seasons where I need to let go of some things to be able to focus on others, and thatโ€™s okay.

โ†’ Hired someone to manage our Airbnb from there, and weโ€™re so grateful we found such a responsible and reliable person.
โ†’ Enjoyed a weekend with my sister and niece celebrating her 8th birthday. It was so much fun.
โ†’ Started participating in The Momentum Room organized by .yewande, and it has been such a great way to build momentum and accountability.
โ†’ Received contract renewals from previous clients and an extension of services with another one. Very grateful for the long-term clients who trust me and my work.
โ†’ Went rafting with friends, repeating an experience we had 7 years ago. It was so much fun. I ended up with a few bruises on my arms, but totally worth it.
โ†’ Attended a massive event where I danced and walked for over 10 hours. So much fun as well.
โ†’ Settled into a routine (among all the movement) and resumed strength training at a gym this month.

โ†’ Feeling frustrated with paperwork and banking processes that were never answered by my Chilean bank. After being away for 5 years, sometimes it feels like I donโ€™t even exist in the system anymore. Everything becomes a rabbit hole of questions, back and forth emails, and no clear answers.

Recently, Iโ€™ve been feeling that I want to outsource some tasks.
Not because I canโ€™t do them, but because they take time and honestlyโ€ฆ
I donโ€™t enjoy them that much.

And still, I kept postponing it.

I even blocked time in my calendar to document how I perform those tasks so I can train the person I want to hireโ€ฆ
but life happened, and the task kept getting pushed.

Until a few days ago.
I received an email from the amazing Dr. Yewande O. reminding me that registrations were open for ๐“๐ก๐ž ๐Œ๐จ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐‘๐จ๐จ๐ฆ.

Not just "๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ" to do the tasks.
Not more time blocks.
But a space where Iโ€™m held accountable.
A room where I actually get things done.

So yes, Iโ€™m in.

Starting these 12 weeks feeling excited and ready to finally move this forward.

Yesterday, during our kickoff session, something Dr. Yewande O. said really stayed with me: Your chances of achieving a goal can go up to ๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ“% when you write it down, share it, and have accountability.

In 12 weeks, Iโ€™ll come back and tell you how it went.
But I already have a feelingโ€ฆ this is exactly what I needed.

This has become a little tradition for me.
To look back at the month, reflect on how things went, and invite you to do the same.

Soโ€ฆ letโ€™s jump right in.

โœ… ๐—ช๐ข๐ง๐ฌ
โ†’ Spent the first week of March with my sister and niece as they started the school year.
โ†’ We stayed for 3 weeks in Viรฑa del Mar, right by the ocean. It was so needed. We even travelled there by motorbike, which reminded me of our adventures from before (๐˜บ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด, ๐˜ ๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ).
โ†’ Took the time to watch the sunset or sunrise as often as possible.
โ†’ We filed our taxes this month. It felt really good not to leave it until the end of April. Iโ€™ll count that as a win.
โ†’ We got our tickets to return to Canada this summer and continue our RV travels.
โ†’ I resumed doing things I love. I finished an audiobook, Iโ€™m about to finish the physical book Iโ€™m reading, and I made time for side projects I truly enjoy.
โ†’ Our apartment was fully booked during March, which feels great.
โ†’ Work ran smoothly, with all deliverables sent on time.

โ†’ Feeling all the emotions around Coritaโ€™s absence. Some days with no energy at all, and others feeling a bit better.
โ†’ Missing my strength training. Since Iโ€™ve been on the move, I havenโ€™t had access to my weights or a gym, but Iโ€™m hoping to get back to it this month.
โ†’ Work hasnโ€™t felt as enjoyable as it used to, but Iโ€™m using that as motivation to continue outsourcing some tasks.

Maybe this has happened to you too.
You post.
You wait.
And thenโ€ฆ nothing.
So you quietly cancel the program, session, or whatever it was, and move on.

But I see a big opportunity here.
This is what I told her.

Sure, you can cancel itโ€ฆ of course. If thatโ€™s what you want.
But if it were me, I would get curious and start asking questions.

How long were you talking about this launch?
Was it one post and thatโ€™s it?

People need to hear about something more than once to understand it and remember it.
Last time I checked, it can take anywhere between 7 to 21 touchpoints before someone buys.
And not just repeated, but shared from different angles so they can see themselves in it.

So while you prepare a launch, use all the touchpoints you have with your audience.
Your posts.
Your stories.
Your emails.
Your conversations.

Then I would look at the offer itself.
Do people actually need this?
Did you validate the idea before creating it?
Was there real interest?

Also, I would focus on what I can actually control.
Did you reach out directly?
To the people you know could benefit from it.
To the ones who have shown interest before.

People are busy.
They are focused on their own lives.
Itโ€™s very possible they didnโ€™t even see your post.

So instead of going straight into disappointment or feeling embarrassedโ€ฆ
Use this as feedback.

Because most of the time, itโ€™s not that it didnโ€™t work.
Itโ€™s that we didnโ€™t talk about it enough.

There are probably more things to look at, but these were the ones that came to mind at the time.

During my breaks, I was watching TVโ€ฆ a lot.
At lunch, and after my workday.
One episode, then another, then another.

It felt like rest. Like a way to relax.

But this is what started happeningโ€ฆ
I began having intense nightmares almost every night.
Waking up tired. Low energy.

So yesterday, I decided to mindfully stop.

No TV for the day.
Reducing scrolling as much as possible.
I picked up a physical book again.
We went for a walk at lunch and in the evening.

And this morning, we woke up early to watch the sunrise and walk on the beach.

I feel calmer now.

It reminded me of when we were travelling in the RV.
We didnโ€™t have TV, and we were more mindful about how we used our energyโ€ฆ both the RVโ€™s and ours.

It also reminded me of something often says about grief and how we look for distractions.
I think I was falling into that cycle without realizing it.

So today I just want to askโ€ฆ
