• 36 days after that I had 500.
• 16 days after that I was at 1000 followers.

1.) I show up every day
- I don’t always post/engage the same amount from day
It took me 55 days to go from no account to 1000 followers.

(I was worried that I didn’t know anything about growing a following)
I was right.
~ But a beginner’s perspective and fresh insight allowed me to grow rapidly.
~ Don’t let yourself be
If you're not:
- Engaging 200 times a day
- Gaining 50 followers a day
- Making $10k a month
- Leaving your 9/5
That's ok. Any progress is good progress.
Learn what you can from those blazing ahead but don't waste energy on feeling bad that you're not there yet.

I know it’s only been two days since
the last
I got up at 4am this morning.
1~ Before most people even think
about waking up.
2~ Because I know what’s important.
And no-I didn’t:
• Write
• Workout
• Take an ice bath
• Or work on my business
I got up because my daughter was crying.
And if that means that I’m not
Do yourself a favor
and care about something:
• A hobby
• A career
• A family you love
• A passion project
• A world you want to create
We are meant to live our lives
(Not just to exist)
500 followers!
Here's how I've done it so far:
- Engage, engage, engage
(The best idea in the world doesn't matter if no one
hears it-get out there and meet new people!)
- Be genuine
(Share your story and your voice)
- Never

I’m 32 and work a full time job.
I started creating AFTER my daughter was born (she’s 15 weeks old now)
I have little to no free time.
(And not a day goes by that I wish I hadn’t started this journey sooner)
But the truth is:
• Scarcity breeds value
• I make
"I don't have time" is a scam.
You just waste a lot of it.
My problem?
Not focusing on the things that matter.
The "needle moving tasks."
Then the time slowly starts to slip away.
Optimizing your workflow is an iterative process.
Value your work.
Value your systems.

If they:
- Inform
- Educate
- Entertain

A) Make sure it does at least one of these things
~And~
B) Make sure to keep a healthy mixture of all three
If you’re not careful:
• You can spend 12 years in school
• Another 4 years at a college
• 2-4 more in graduate school
Without learning how to market your skills to others.
You’re not too old to get started.
Just because you have:
• A job
• Past baggage
• Responsibilities
• A family that relies on you
• Regrets from what could have been
Doesn’t mean that it’s too late.
Start now.

Happy birthday….to me! 😜
I feel like a decent used car:
I look brand new from far away, but the check engine light is always on.
Have a great day everyone!
The greatest thing a person can do for themself is learn to say ‘no’ effectively:
• Set boundaries for yourself
• You don’t owe the world anything
• But you owe yourself the world
I went from 0-700
In my first month on X.
Here’s how:
1) I searched for followers
(They don’t come to you!)
2) I engaged (constantly)
3) I created value for my content
4) I doubled down on what worked
(And
Always give your best.
But realize that your best varies from day to day.
One of the best things you can do for yourself is give yourself permission to have ‘off’ days.
