As a small business owner, you don't have the luxury of clocking out early. Your business is on your mind 24-7. So when you're hiring, you need a partner that works just as hard as you do. That hiring partner is LinkedIn Jobs. When you clock out, LinkedIn clocks in. LinkedIn makes it easy to post your job for free, share it with your network, and get qualified candidates that you can manage, all in one place. I want a partner in my business that works just as hard as I do, to make sure my small business works and thrives. LinkedIn is that partner.

It helps take the pressure off when it comes to finding the qualified candidate I am looking for. That's what I love about LinkedIn. It gives me my time back so I can invest in my business without stressing about finding the perfect candidate.

LinkedIn's new feature can help you write job descriptions and then quickly get your job in front of the right people with deep candidate insights. Either post your job for free or pay to promote. Promoted jobs get three times more qualified applicants.

Based on LinkedIn data, 72% of small businesses using LinkedIn say that LinkedIn helps them find high-quality candidates.

I would rather tell the world what I've done.

then what I'm going to do. There's enough people talking. Just make the move and don't talk until it's time for the checkmate. Move in silence. One of the most underrated superpowers on earth.

This movement is silence, thinking in silence, caucusing in silence, meditating, praying, working on your craft, doing the dark work behind the scenes where nobody can see it. Nobody can congratulate you. Nobody can affirm you. Nobody can celebrate you. I'm doing this thing not to be celebrated. I'm doing this thing not to be noticed and acknowledged and supported. I'm doing this thing because if I don't do it,

do this I'm not going to achieve what it is that I'm after this is the power of moving in silence if I'm going to move in silence I've got to know how to plan in silence and think in silence and meditate and pray and put the work in behind the scenes nobody can see it but me

every rising star that you see, every innovator and trailblazer and creator and philanthropist and minister and business person or athlete or entertainer. We see them at this height, but we don't see the work. You were not there when they cried and they bled and they sweat and they almost quit and they almost threw in the towel and they were left alone to continue the work, to pray, to believe, to think, to caucus, to plan it out and then execute and come

and shock everybody! I'm not gonna say a word until I win. I'm not posting about it. I'm not trying to prep you. You don't need a trailer. I'm going to make an announcement that I won. Not that I'm working, but I won. Checkmate. Checkmate. Somebody shout checkmate. Somebody drop it in the comments. Checkmate. Move in silence.

Drop it in the comments. Checkmate. Checkmate. Checkmate. You talked about me. You doubted me. You deserted me. You left me for dead. Watch me checkmate. And I'm going to do it in silence. As a matter of fact, I'm not going to say a word until I win. There are seasons in life where we get to that need to be played and lived out like a chess game. Don't talk until it's time.

A chess player does not talk until the time has come for the checkmate. Man, drop it in the check. Checkmate, checkmate, checkmate. Stop talking about everything you're going to do. Checkmate. Successful people have mastered the art of spending time alone. They understand the power and the leverage points when I get time with myself.

And I get in my head and I get in my heart and I understand my behaviors and my belief systems and my parameters and what I need to do and how I need to sow and where I need to send my energy and how I need to execute in the day. They understand it's a superpower, but everybody doesn't need to know what you're doing.

And this is why we have so many copycats and knockoffs and counterfeits and frauds because you brought people along with you that were not in your inner circle along throughout your process while you were building it instead of just revealing it after it was already done.

Because this is the type of season I'm about to step into. You talked about me. You doubted me. You deserted me. You left me for dead. Watch me checkmate. And I'm going to do it in silence. As a matter of fact, I'm not going to say a word until I win. Just show up and be finished with it. Stop telling the world every step of the path and you haven't won yet.

Understand your limitations.

What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses? Where are you losing? Where are you winning? How do you need to change your beliefs to align with the correct behaviors? What type of behaviors and parameters and values do you need to have established and hardwired within yourself? Who do I need to become to accomplish what it is I've been destined to do? When you spend that time alone and you can think and you can pray and you can meditate and everybody's not in your mix.

You're able to grow something that could leave a legacy and impact the lives of millions of people. Never underestimate the power of getting along with yourself and getting dialed in with what you've been called to do and then how you're going to go about doing it. Oftentimes, we find the person who's living paycheck to paycheck doesn't want to think. They just want to work and get paid. It's the millionaires and billionaires and six-figure earners.

and networkers and busy bees and people that are out there shaking hands, stepping into rooms and arenas, building products, creating opportunity, innovators, trailblazers. These are the people that have spent time alone thinking

about what it is they've been called to do and how they're going to execute. They moved in silence. They thought alone. They prayed alone just for a moment, just for a season. Nothing wrong with getting together with friends and family and having some corporate construct, but

There is an unfair advantage when I can get along with myself and I can talk to myself in the mirror and tell myself, "Self, you got stuff to do. Self, you have things to become. Self, there are ways you have to go about this and you need to be flexible. You need to be agile. Is God first in my house or nothing else?" We start to establish our values and we start to understand ourselves and what makes us tick.

Everybody doesn't need to know all the moving parts and the pain and the tears and the sacrifice that you have made. Just show up on stage and win. And after you win, then you can talk about how you won. If your dream only requires you, then it's not big enough. It starts with you, but it doesn't end with you. Your team is coming. Drop it in the comments, man. My team is coming, but it starts with me. My team is coming, but it starts with me. My team is coming.
