Do you look back with regret on many opportunities missed or do you pride yourself in your ability to seize an opportunity when it’s staring you in the face? On this episode of #SellingWithSocial, Paul and I discuss the unique opportunities we have had at our disposal and why the ability to seize opportunities is vital in positioning yourself for exponential business success. At the end of the day, it’s not about how many opportunities you have but what you end up doing with those opportunities. Discover more from Paul’s story on this episode!
The Best Position for Business Success
Did you know that “happiness” is shown to decrease if you tie it to how much money you make? If you solely base your happiness on money, there will be a tipping point where you will constantly look to the next tier of income for your happiness. Doesn’t that sound awful? Many thought leaders say that the solution to this issue of personal happiness is to locate what is important to you. Living and working for a greater purpose is what really energizes and sustains people. According to Paul, one of the best ways you can secure sustained business success is by tapping into that one thing that lights you up and fuels your passion.

10 thoughts on “15 LinkedIn Profile Optimization Tips to Get Found This 2023”
My LinkedIn account was ranking on the first page for best mommys blog keyword quite a few years back and I didn’t have any idea. While working, I stumbled upon the Analytic section of LinkedIn and saw that most of the visitors are coming from search engine later on I realized that in my profile I’ve used “Mommy’s blog” word a lot of time and that is the reason why it was ranking well on SERP. This is how I came to know about SEO and I was also amazed by the fact that how easy it was to rank for competitive keywords back then. Anyways loved your article and please share more tips on SEO.
Thanks for sharing. The number of times you mention a word or phrase is still a factor for sure.

Thank you for another great blog post. For the alt text and/or naming images, do you mean two to three different keyword phrases as a maximum, like this?
