RE: How I got to 11,176 Connections on LinkedIn (7,000+ the last month)
I'd add into this an important clarification that it's not simply about the numbers growth, but the value provided to be leveraged through the broader network...
(So much marketing stuff strictly focused on getting leads and eyeballs on YOU, versus a mature balanced perspective of then removing yourself from the picture to reconnect to the PURPOSE beyond profit and status, as to what positive influence is to be delivered and the ultimate WHY of how it shall SERVE)...
Hey @rok-sivante! Long time. I agree with your sentiments. It can be a vanity metric, but that's how you get people to read your post in the first place right? lol... But another way to think of it is that you will have a larger network of connections you can provide value for. It gives you a greater opportunity to provide value to others just as much as it gives you the opportunity to receive value. Anyways hope all is well!
