Expose Yourself! Do not be afraid to be yourself and revel in your flaws and imperfections (dead pixels) as these elements can be spun around to endearing qualities, originality, and memorable ad campaigns. See the below example of brilliance!!! Cheers!

Here's how you can find clients on LinkedIn. It really works! 1. Find a leader in your given field. I'm a freelance editor in the commercial/advertising space so Kevin fits this profile. 2. Write a thoughtful response to one of their recent post. Sorry, a "thumbs up" isn't enough. 3. Connect with everyone that's tagged in the post and repeat step #2. See above about a "thumbs up" not being enough. Things to remember: 1. Once you make the connection on LinkedIn, spend time nurturing the relationship. Add value. 2. Don't ask for anything. If a stranger approached you on the street and immediately said: "please help me (fill in the blank) - you would walk away. Don't approach people on LinkedIn with this kind of energy. Be chill. 3. Be okay if the person doesn't respond. You're not the only one with a life. People are busy. The ROI on doing this is MUCH HIGHER than applying to those "looking to fill my roster" posts. You'll find clients on LinkedIn if you follow these steps. Freelancers. Think Differently.

Hey LinkedIn Family, Reflecting on a powerful quote from Will Guidara's book Unreasonable Hospitality: “I’m also clear about what my job is, which is to do what’s best for the #restaurant, not to do what’s best for any of you. More often than not, what’s best for the restaurant will include doing what’s best for you. But the only way I can take care of all of you as individuals is by always putting the restaurant first.” In #business, it's not just about people, KPIs, or numbers. It's about the #brand. When you serve the #brand right, it takes care of everything else. By putting the brand first, we create a foundation for #excellence that benefits #everyone—from our #team to our #customers. Let's commit to nurturing our brands with passion and integrity, knowing that a well-served brand paves the way for success and growth for #all. #BrandFirst #Leadership #Hospitality #BusinessPhilosophy #Teamwork

📚 BUILT Your STORY vs Chase The Glory 🌮 Can you believe Taco Bell actually served: 🍔 BURGERs⁉️ 📅 In the 70s, TB lost its way in an attempt to chase the BURGER craze and looking through the greedy lens of a PUSH Strategy, and to grow by all means 📌 vs leading BRANDs stick their Purpose and never get distracted by outside trends that don't align with their DNA. 🆘 BRAND-Namesake alone, this execution doesn't make sense/cents 👀 and it obviously didn't work but doesn't mean all BRAND expansions are headed to failure but this was a bit off Strategy 🍗 Can you imagine Chick-fil-A Corporate Support Center selling BURGERS or all of a sudden open on SUNDAYs⁉️ 🔨 #BRANDs must BUILD there STORY, staying true to their PURPOSE vs chasing Trending Moments that live outside of who they are #10BrandCommandments #BRANDbuilding

We selected the caterers for this year’s Thinkers50 Awards Gala for their focus on sustainable, seasonal produce, and respect for the environment. They also happen to be exceptional chefs. For years we have grown accustomed to vegetarian or vegan being the bland, alternative option. We have decided to turn that custom on its head and encourage the pursuance of plant-based fine dining. Additionally, providing plant-based meals for the Thinkers50 Awards Gala could result in a carbon footprint reduction of up to 10 tons. So, we’re very excited to be able to serve a menu which is largely — but not exclusively — plant-based. We tried it. It’s really delicious!
