Daren Froeschle from Warehouse 1 was kind enough to give me an awesome recommendation on Linkedin this month. I was an early adopter to Linkedin, so it took me a long time to acquire my connections and specifically my recommendations. When I first created my account on Linkedin, I rushed to connect with colleagues I’ve worked with within my career, but my goal was to have at least one person from each place I had worked, give me a recommendation. A good portion of my career was in the dot.com era, validation of a company’s existence was a big deal for me. As I built my legitimate recommendations I noticed along the way people joining Linkedin and receiving 500+ connections almost overnight with very little attention to recommendations. Let’s face it, it’s easy to use a rolodex, but how easy is it to receive a recommendation? In my experience I haven’t had a hard time with recommendations because I’m passionate about any position I hold; if I’m a food server, I will be the best food server, if I’m a custom framer I will be the best framer, if I’m an internet marketer I will best internet marketer.

As I continue my journey with Linkedin, I pay more attention to the connections to recommendations ratio. It’s not about having 500+ connections; it’s about making a difference and doing your very best!
