- They know what they& #39;re doing
But this happens to a LOT of us..
It hurts me to see
I want it to stop

Setting Expectations
There are two things that make expectations difficult:
a.) Comparison
b.) Inability to predict the future
What do we see EVERY day?
- People posting their "1000 followers in 17 days" tweets..

Is there anything wrong with these tweets?
Absolutely not..
* But you need to understand:
- We love posting our best moments
- Followers are simply a number
- WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF
We rarely share our struggles
Everybody has them
No one wins always

For me..
I compared myself to those who were growing faster than myself..
Despite averaging 40-50 follows/day,
I still felt as if I was doing something wrong..
* You MUST:
- Think long-term
- Focus on yourself
- Be willing to outperform everyone else

There are people growing faster than you,
Making more money than you,
Working HARDER than you (maybe)..
----> But how long can they keep that up?
* I say it all the time:
"It could take you 5 YEARS to reach 10,000 followers
AND IT WOULD STILL BE WORTH IT!"

7.
What could you do with 10,000 followers?
- Most people should have NO issue making $1-2k/mth with it..
Your Twitter account is an asset..
Build it slowly, and it& #39;ll pay your damn bills..
(note.. it should NOT take 5 years to hit 10,000 followers)

So how do you set proper expectations?
Answer:
- Don& #39;t compare yourself to others
- Give yourself a timeline of 5 years
- Understand that it& #39;ll be worth it always
+ 50% of your tweets will suck
+ 30% will do okay
+ 20% will catch fire
Be consistent
Be patient

This issue is common when you start to really grow..
You& #39;re expected to:
- Send emails
- Write threads
- Launch your pre-orders
- Constantly provide value
All while:
> continuing to grow
> make money
> and help others
** But which one do you do next?

Make sure you continue to do that & #39;somehow& #39;...

I& #39;ve seen PLENTY of creators put out content around 1000 followers..
.. and they stop promoting it within a few weeks..
Why?
- Unrealistic expectations
** If you TRULY have a great product..
Continue promoting it FOREVER!
--> Get people familiar with what you sell

Remember..
+ One of the BEST things you can share with your audience..
.. is a piece of advice you PERSONALLY learned..
You shouldn& #39;t struggle to come up with content:
~ Consume quality content
~ Apply to your own life
~ Share it with others
