Building a brand takes time. You need to gain attention and trust and build equity in your name.

Nothing is going to just pop off, just because. – Russell Simmons

Listen:10 or 26 or 43 followers/hearts/likes is more than zero. You now have ____ people who are willing to hear what you have to day. You now have a responsibility to give them more than they give you. This is called value and it’s how a brand is built.
