[Podcast] How to make friends on LinkedIn to grow your business (The introvert's edition)
|
Hello Reader, 2024 was the year I decided to learn how to make friends on LinkedIn. I'm an introvert and my idea of a fun night is staying home and catching up on my Netflix series and chilling with my family. Going out to meet strangers in a 'networking' event to grow my business was the last thing I wanted to do. But it's one of those business activities you know you have to do even if you don't feel like doing it. Rather than go out in person, an easier step for me was to start networking online. Having tried FB and IG, I gave up. They just weren't the places for me. And forget X or TikTok. Too rowdy and too much dancing. That left me with LinkedIn, which was just a job search and networking platform to me. But since it was all I had left, I decided to give it a shot and I was pleasantly surprised! It's where I met this month's podcast guest, Khushi Agarwal (https://www.linkedin.com/in/contentbykhushi/) Khushi specialises in helping Business Coaches, Founders, and Senior Leaders enhance their presence and authority on LinkedIn. We connected and chatted on a Zoom call and I learned she has a ton of knowledge and wisdom about growing on LinkedIn. I'm old enough to be her mom, yet I'm learning so much from her, so I invited her to share her journey of business building. In this episode, we discussed

What my weight taught me about money Last week I flew home from the UK just in time for my daughter's graduation. I'd spent two and a half weeks helping our son settle into university. Then I was back in Singapore, sitting in a school hall, watching my daughter cross the stage. At the graduation, we bumped into a teacher who had taught both my kids. My husband and I noticed straight away how well he looked. He'd been making changes to his eating for health reasons over the past year. We asked...
I imagined this vision of the farm What a quiet morning in the UK showed me about looking back, and why I stopped waiting for a job to look after me. I'm writing this from a hotel in the UK. This week's podcast was recorded in the hotel bathroom. It was the only quiet room. My son was out in the room on his laptop with his friends, and I had about 15 minutes. That's what this season looks like. He starts university next week. My younger one starts next year. Before the city, we spent a few...
Four months ago, I did the math on sending both our kids to university in the UK. It would be about $200,000 a year, for three or four years. I had no idea how we would do it. Today, I'm writing this from the UK. I'm here helping my son settle in to his first year of university. I'll tell you how it came together in a moment. But first, what I noticed along the way. $30,000 is not always $30,000 Think about $30,000 of debt. Now think about $30,000 landing in your account as a bonus or as...
