The best way to become active on LinkedIn is to post for 30 consecutive days.
 
 In Feb 2023, I took on the challenge of publishing 30 posts in 30 days.
 
 I had just handed in my resignation letter (scary times) and needed something new to hold on to.
 
 I remember being very afraid of committing to it because I wasn't sure I had enough things to say. 😅
 
 So here's what I did:
 
 1) A week before starting the challenge, 𝗜 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗮 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁/𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝘂𝗽.
 
 - Ideas from podcasts I was listening to.
 - Strong opinions arising from conversations I had.
 - Random thoughts that would pop up during the day.
 
 At the end of the week, I had about 14 unfiltered and raw notes (it's important not to filter any at this stage).
 
 "Hmmm, okay. If I can come up with 14 ideas in a week, I can find 30 for the 30 days challenge." - I thought.
 
 2) 𝗜 𝘀𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝟭𝟰 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘀, picked 7, and wrote 7 posts for the week ahead.
 
 3) In the following weeks, 𝗜 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 and ended up posting for 30 days in a row, completing the challenge.
 
 Besides the viral post with ~500k impressions, the most important thing I got from it was building a writing habit that has kept me consistent for the last ~450 days.
 
 This small habit compounded over time and has led me to sign 18 clients because of my presence here.
 
 -> The one thing I want you to take from this post is that success = small habits compounded over time.
 
 Anyone can start today. Will you?
