Your daily LinkedIn post idea, by The Content Lab

Question: What’s your most unpopular opinion on success?

Below is a rough example of what a post could look like for this prompt. Feel free to edit it to reflect your own experience.

Post Template:

Hook:

I think we’ve over-glorified ambition.

Tease:

Everywhere you look, someone’s preaching about pushing harder, doing more, scaling faster.

But I’ve met plenty of miserable people at the top.

Burnt out. Isolated. Constantly moving the goalpost.

And for what?

More money? More recognition?

Value:

My personal opinion is that success isn’t about racking up accolades.

It’s about doing work you genuinely care about. Work you love.

The most successful people I know realized early that there’s a thin line between your ability, your obsession, and your purpose.

As Warren Buffett once said, “Take the job you would take if you didn’t need a job.”
