LinkedIn is my most closely held network. I don't want to connect with everybody. I want to connect with people that move the needle for me and that doesn't mean only professionally. Are you an interesting person? Do you work in my industry and are NOT a snake oil salesman? Do you an informative person who lives in my area? Do I know you personally? If we've never met, does it look like we could be a good fit?

I've had folks try to give me a hard time about how small my network on LinkedIn is. I. Do. Not. Care. I'm using LinkedIn in a way that serves me. #ThatIsAll
