Guest Quote
"It's insane how many people just give up so quick, after not seeing much traction. When in reality, like, are you doing this just to get a viral video within a month or two? Or are you doing this because you want to build a long-term business?"
“Anyone that's posting any kind of content in any business, whether that's someone that's trying to get big on Instagram or TikTok even, I always tell them: just make sure you can do maybe two quality videos a week, and just don't stop and just keep putting 'em out. Put out 30 videos in two months, and then if that's not working, then you can restructure and go in a separate direction.”
