“In a crowded market, fitting in is a failure. Not being seen is a catastrophe.” — Seth Godin
Let’s talk about the LinkedIn hustle.
You’ve been active.
You’ve optimized your CV.
You’ve applied to fellowships from Lagos to London. 🌍
You know you’re good - maybe even exceptional.
But the results?
Still inconsistent. Still silent.
It’s frustrating.
But here’s the truth most people avoid:
In a global market, if they can’t see you, they can’t choose you.
This isn’t a talent problem.
It’s a positioning problem.
🛍️ The Reality Check: The “Okrika” Pile vs. The Showroom
Think of it like this:
You are luxury couture skilled, refined, and valuable.
But right now, you’re sitting in a bend-down-select (Okrika) pile.
And in that pile?
People haggle.
People overlook value.
People make quick judgments.
Not because you’re not valuable - but because of where and how you’re positioned.
If you want:
• Global opportunities
• Competitive salaries
• Elite fellowships
• High-impact roles
Then you don’t belong in the pile.
You belong in the showroom. And positioning is your showroom.
It’s what shifts you from being “another applicant”
to becoming an obvious choice.
🚀 Stop Hiding. Start Positioning.
Positioning is what turns your profile from:
“I’m looking for opportunities”
into:
“I am the opportunity.”
It’s how you move from chasing visibility
to attracting attention.
And this is exactly what many talented people are missing.
