Control what you can control. Let the rest take care of itself.

I came across someone on Tik Tok this week. They have 10 million followers.

Ten. Million.

They put on makeup and 10 million people pay attention.

And someone else who has 1.5 million followers. They got a book deal.

I’m not going to lie. It’s hard to look at my 55 followers and not feel like it’s going to take the rest of my natural life to be that popular. And that it may not even ever happen.

I might have 55 followers forever. Forever and ever and ever. Amen.

This afternoon, I made a little video and invited people to join me for a sprint on Tik Tok live. Then I went to figure out how to actually do a Tik Tok live.

Oh, yeah. You need 1000 followers. I have 55.

Delete. Delete. Delete.

The good thing about having 55 followers. No one saw the video.
