Some numbers I've obsessed over and then gone "wait WDF… why am I even obsessing about this… what does it actually mean… does it actually mean ANYTHING real" Some I've ignored that I probably should have paid way more attention to… oops 😂 And some… well… some actually mean summat REAL and THAT'S what I wanna talk about today Cos here's the thing… and this is the bit that really matters… It's never ever really about the NUMBER It's about what's BEHIND it It's about the INTENTION behind why u're sharing it… why u're chasing it… what it actually represents underneath 𝗔 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘂 𝗮𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗻𝗼𝘄𝘁 And I know this because I had a client once who had almost A MILLION followers… A MILLION… and was making zero money… ZERO… cos the number looked incredible AF on the outside and meant absolutely naff all on the inside That is the whole thing right there Let's have a chat about it hey 👇 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗡𝗨𝗠𝗕𝗘𝗥𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗖𝗔𝗡 𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗣 𝗨 𝗨𝗣 💩 Now I'm not saying these numbers ARE poop… some of them are hello totes useful… but the INTENTION behind why u're chasing them or sharing them… THAT can be poop 😂 📈 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆… brilliant if u're using it to track whether ya community is genuinely growing… poop if u're just refreshing it for the dopamine hit of seeing a higher number 🔥 𝗨𝗿 𝟯𝟬 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸… amazing if it represents real intentional conversations and intentional showing up… absolutely fricken pointless if u've been clicking around having empty conversations just to keep the flame alive 🔴 𝗨𝗿 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻… great for tracking ya own progression and seeing if u're actually moving… meaningless if u got there posting fluff just to rack up points 💰 𝗨𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀… powerful when u understand the waves… the churn… the retention… what's actually working and why… and I'll be honest I didn't used to track this properly and it cost me… but just dropping a big number to brag with zero context behind it… that tells nobody anything… not even u
