The main reason I joined this community is because I am transitioning from a career in cybersecurity sales to building my own email marketing business. Most of my LinkedIn network is still from my cybersecurity world, not my target audience. Because of that, I hesitated to post about my new direction. I was worried about how it would be perceived. The fear is still there, but I posted anyway. Nine days into this December challenge, I'm starting to see some traction. Nothing huge, but more impressions, comments, and reshares than I am used to. Then today, something unexpected happened. A former coworker called me just to say my recent LinkedIn posts have been phenomenal. He told me how impressed he's been, asked about my business, and offered to help. He was one of the people I worried most about. That encouragement meant more than I realized. No prospects yet. But knowing people are paying attention is the lighter fluid I needed to keep going. Thanks for the platform, training and coaching @Alex Colhoun
