   Beate,
   Thanks for the tough love! Based on what you’re said, though, I feel good about MY profile and how I’ve reached out to current and potential clients. Now if you could just make me look more like Tom Cruise…!

   Very well said. And yes, I do have an image that was done by a pro, though the subject could use a little help.

   As usual Beate you make excellent points…..

   I’ve spent a lot of time refining my profile and evaluate it once per quarter. I see LI as my professional authority/expert site and many clients have visited my profile and commented positively on it.

   I actually had a professional friend shoot my profile pic and after a year I reshot as a self-portrait.

   Ironically I sent out a message on LI Monday chastising many of my connections for the very same reason: either no profile pic or a very poor one.

   Right on baby!

   Michael
