I stopped posting on LinkedIn for 7 years.

Not because I was “too busy.”

Because I was afraid my coworkers would see the real me - what I was thinking, planning, or doing ouside the office.

I was a Marketing Director.
Single mom.
On a “Safe” corporate path.

And I worried:

- My boss would think I was looking for a new job
- My team would judge my content
- People would roll their eyes at my coaching and newsletter work

So I stayed quiet.

I built skills.
I built systems.
I even built income streams.

But I did it silently in the dark.

No posts.
No voice.
No real visibility.

Then one day, I realized that staying silent was costing me more than being seen.

I was coaching creators on showing up online…
while hiding my own story.

So I started small.

→ I shared one post about leaving corporate without burning bridges.
→ I talked about how I built my newsletter and my first $1,000 month.
→ I opened up about deleting 967 subscribers and why it grew my business.

I expected judgment from coworkers.

Here’s what I got instead:

- DMs from colleagues asking how to start a side business
- Old coworkers asking for help with email automation and systems
- Clients who said, “I’ve been reading your posts for months. I’m ready to work with you.”

The fear was so loud it had paralyzed me for 7 years.
But the backlash never came.

Every time I posted:

→ My network got clearer on what I do.
→ My opportunities increased.
→ My income streams became more stable.

Not because I went viral.
Because I stopped hiding.

You might be where I was:

- Sitting in a corporate role with bigger dreams
- Afraid your coworkers will talk
- Afraid your manager will notice
- Afraid to share what you really want to build

Here is what I tell my clients now:

- You don’t need to post everything.
- You do need to post something.
- You can share your expertise without attacking your employer.
- You can build options without burning bridges.

For 7 years, I let fear of scrutiny keep me quiet.

Now my content is the reason I can:

→ Run a newsletter-first business
→ Coach founders and creators
→ Consult on CRM, email automation, building a business with multiple income streams, and Substack growth

All while creating more safety for myself and my family than any single paycheck ever gave me.

If you’ve been hiding on LinkedIn because of your coworkers, this is your sign:

Start with one honest post.
One simple story.
One clear offer to help.

You don’t need permission to build a life that fits you.

You just need to stop letting other people’s opinions run your career.

I deleted 967 subscribers on purpose.

It felt scary as hell.

My brain was spiraling: “You worked so hard for these," and "What will my sponsors think?"

But here's the thing.

A dead list hurts your business.

I used to wait a year, then do one huge, painful cut.

Now I do a small one each month.

Here is how I choose who leaves:

→ No opens in 180 days
→ Repeated bounces
→ Spam complaints or clear “not interested”

Before anyone goes, I run a short win‑back campaign:

Email 1: “Still want these emails?”
Email 2: best posts, clear link to stay
Email 3: “Last call”, easy unsubscribe

No click. No reply. They go.

The first time, my stomach hurt.
Now it feels like cleaning my closet.

Result:

Higher opens.
Stronger deliverability.
More clicks and paid subs from a smaller list.

You do not need a big list.

You need a clean one that wants to hear from you.

What is your current list clean‑up routine?

Three years ago I walked away from a safe corporate paycheck.

Now my portfolio of paychecks has passed six figures.

I didn't work more hours.

I built systems.

Year one, I focused on consulting.

Retainer clients paid for deep work on CRM, email strategy, and automation.

When those systems were developed and running on smoothly, I added coaching.

1:1 calls helped creators grow newsletters & launch Substack.

Next came digital products.

Playbooks, templates, and swipe files delivered my process without my time.

Afterward, I launched a small membership.

Group support, live sessions, more access to me.

The last piece was full newsletter monetization.

Paid tiers, sponsors, and services linked to my list created a real portfolio of paychecks.

One income stream at a time.

Each with a clear offer, simple delivery, and strong automation.

Three years later, my income feels more stable than a single salary.

The world just entered 2026.
But one country didn’t.

That country is Ethiopia.

No time travel. No mistake.

Just a completely different way of living with time.

Ethiopia follows the Ge’ez calendar.

A system where the day doesn’t begin in the dark.
It starts at sunrise.

When the sun rises, the clock resets.

Time begins with light, not darkness.

And the calendar?

➡️ 13 months, not 12
➡️ Each month almost perfectly equal
➡️ New Year in September, not January

So yes, while we say it’s 2026,
Ethiopia is officially in 2018.

Not because it’s behind.
But because it chose a different starting point.

Ethiopia follows the Ge’ez calendar,
a system it kept long before the Gregorian calendar went global.

Here’s the part most people miss:

Different timelines don’t mean wrong timelines.
Different systems don’t mean outdated systems.

Sometimes, progress isn’t about updating the clock.
It’s about staying aligned with nature.

P.S.: Did you know this about Ethiopia?
