⏳ Try Not To Give Up For 90 Days

Try not to give up for 90 days
You may have heard of the saying that it takes 66 days to form a habit.
Some say 21 days. Others say more.
Let's apply this to the content game we all love playing.
Let's rewind back to 2020.
I had 0 followers on Twitter. Knew no one. Had no connections (nor followed a newsletter like this).
I tweeted every single day. I commented on 5 pieces of content every day. I DMd at least one new person every day.
All for 90 days.
And I probably grew to 100 followers. It was very discouraging. But it was something. I had 100 new people following me.
One thing I realized was that consistency is super important on social media.
Unless you are Justin Bieber, your first post won't go viral.
We start as a no-one.
We build credibility and trust slowly
We do it by sharing insights and secrets of what we know best (aka your competitive advantage)
It's hard. That is why I’ve created an accountability group.
It’ll act as your direct, helpful, and no-BS friend.
Built an app in 18 hours. Sold for $85m
Crazy story to dive into.
Look at these guys
They built an app in 18 hours and sold it for $85 million.
Here’s how 👇
