Transcript excerpt

Listen to this. I would recommend that people go into building their personal brand no expecting any meaningful outcomes for the first thirty six months. Thirty six months. Three years. And people talk about wanting to hit 10 k followers in their first six months. No. If the guy who built Gary Vee's TikTok to 3,500,000 followers and Alex and Leila's brand collectively to 11,200,000 followers says that it takes three years to get results, then it's worth listening to. Most people expect to blow up after just 20 posts. The problem is when you chase immediate results, what you are chasing is attention and ROI instead of trying to be genuinely useful and helpful to the people who are watching you. Instead, when you build with patience to earn trust as the goal, you'll probably end up growing faster than that three year period because you're building with the right intention.
