Lesson From LinkedIn



LinkedIn is an American business and employment-oriented online service that operates via websites and mobile apps. Launched on May 5, 2003, it is mainly used for professional networking, including employers posting jobs and job seekers posting their CVs.

It was in the Fall of 2003 that a colleague at ITT Technical Institute convinced me to join the social media network.  It was just a bunch of people sharing with each other and oftentimes finding alternative jobs and other business opportunities as friendships and trust grew.

These days, it is still the same but it has leaned more towards Facebook in that it is more or a social network than it is a business  and professional networking platform and has become very conducive for sales people trying to get members to invest in bitcoin or foreign exchange.  And, these sales people do not take NO, NOT INTERESTED for an answer.

MOST but not ALL successful people are like these sales people, they do not take NO for an answer or to put it another way, they do not easily give up.  They have persistence and determination and an internal motivation desire that drives them even if there are other people around who are either "for" or "against" their efforts.
