FYI, their personal details were redacted for privacy reasons, as these are real people, I did reach out to them personally and offer to help them.
This is what an introduction message looks like:
If you want to be a “mentor” offering career advice, go to your personal LinkedIn Profile and make sure this option is visible and selected. Once you do you should be able to see a new section in your personal profile, as I do here, called “Career Advice“:
(If you don’t see it, go to your profile settings. The above image is what mine looks like. Notice the Green “ON” icon.)
Let’s travel back in time and take a look at what it looked like when it first launched on Mobile:
As you might have noticed, there is a limited time window where the two of you may chat.
Once you are both matched can communicating, you may then freely message each other, and either party may terminate the communication / chat at any point.
You don’t need one to become one. And hopefully along the way, you do get a mentor.
… Let’s end this two part Q&A with some quotes!
“Our chief want in life is somebody who will make us do what we can.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson
“My mentor said, ‘Let’s go do it,’ not ‘You go do it.’ How powerful when someone says, ‘Let’s!’” — Jim Rohn
“We’re here for a reason. I believe a bit of the reason is to throw little torches out to lead people through the dark.” — Whoopi Goldberg
“You know, you do need mentors, but in the end, you really just need to believe in yourself.” — Diana Ross
“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.” ― Benjamin Franklin
“Mentoring is a brain to pick, an ear to listen, and a push in the right direction.” — John Crosby

I just reached the 5,000 Facebook Friends Milestone!
It’s pretty exhausting, and this is just the beginning. Imagine suddenly having over 4,000 new friends who all want to chat with you and get to know you, because they are new friends!
Welcome to my new reality.
Naturally, I am very delighted to be friends with you (ALL)!
& I hope you’ve had a wonderful weekend.
It’s Monday evening here and by the time I complete this blog post and publish it, it should be closer to midnight and the dawn of a new day … a Tuesday!
Reaching the 5000 Facebook Friends Milestone?
First, let’s rewind a bit.
On the 6th of October, 2019, I only had 706 FB friends …
If you were wondering, what the big deal is … let me tell you.
On Facebook, there is a cap on how many friends you can actually have.
On LinkedIn there MAX connections you may have in 30,ooo.
On Facebook, there MAX Number of friends you may have is currently Only 5,000.
And the Number of friends on my Facebook account is now 5,000.
In less than 2 weeks, I amassed over 4,294 NEW Friends on Facebook!
I still cannot believe it.
This has beaten all my projections.
I will look at the data and am considering even sharing it later this week, if time allows.
Now what? What going to happen next?
A. Well my Facebook Profile + Wall is going to be changing a lot.
… It’s going to be a lot more active. So … if it is too much for you. Please message me before you unfriend me. Thanks!
I shall be posting a lot more often and looking forward to your engagement, interaction, comments, and feedback.
At this point, I don’t know what else I ought to do. This is my first time reaching 5,000 friends on a personal Facebook account!
What I do plan to do is to at some point talk to everyone and attempt to make more space on my friends list on Facebook, since some of you are really my fan and not exactly a friend.
Therefore, I will be reaching out to those of you who would enjoy being a fan more than a friend and share my FaceBook page: https://www.facebook.com/deardanielim
Since I’m not as active on my Facebook profile, and I will never be as active as I am on my Facebook page(s) & Group(s).
That said, every now and then, I will have opportunities to add new friends, as older friends transition towards becoming part of my Community of Fans on FB.
In light of that, I will continue to accept friend requests and in due time, if accepted, I will still be able to add more new friends and continue to meet awesome people.
Join my Community of fans on Facebook & other Social Media sites.
C. There are a couple of things, I wish to clarify at this point.
I will be, at some point chatting with each and every one of my 5,000 friends.
There are certain things, I like to keep that private, for example, I will not discuss my family, it’s their life to live and I don’t talk about them. They exist, of course. Enough said.
I do not give legal, medical or financial advice!
I love meeting new people and learning from them.
No, I don’t share my Phone Number or WA (WhatsApp) with my online FB Friends.
If I don’t reply, that means I am busy.
Please DO NOT send me any emails, unless I ask you to personally.
Please do not ask me how I did it, all I can and will say, is that it’s completely legal, organic and … it was not easy. But worth it! Of course… .
I am an Entrepreneur & I do my best to help others become entrepreneurs too!
Please like and comment on anything I post which catches your attention and share your thoughts and feelings too!
This blog post will act as my living document and I shall add and/or edit as time goes on and on.
I do not accept calls on Facebook Messenger. Please do not call me, I will not answer. … Instead, please leave me a note or a message and I will reply as soon as I can.
If for any reason, you wish to chat with me, please schedule a Call / Chat with me, @deardanielim via this link: http://j.mp/33xa7S4
