“I have failed it for 2 weeks already!”
————————(-.-)———————–
2 WEEKS AGO….
I posted a video about how to pro-rate annual leave and the importance of mathematics. Within 2 days, my followers jumped by 10.0K from 67.0K to 77.0K. I was like WOW! Then I became ambitious, I told myself, what if I put up another 2 videos and see if it can jump 23.0K from 77.0K to 100.0K this week itself.
I remember I posted a video that evening, then I even told my husband, “Let’s see if it touches 80.0K the next morning.” It increased from 77.0K to 77.2K. LOLOL! So that week, I didn’t make it to 100.0K.
Then I told myself, “Nevermind, let’s try another week.” And I failed again. No hundred thousand.
Lesssons:
1. With the success of that one video, I was so naïve to think that every video after I posted will jump me 10.0K hahaha! Tsk tsk. Well, just because we got lucky one time, doesn’t mean the second time we will.
2. Managing our own expectations. I failed the 1st week and the week after. I got so frustrated & stressed out. Then I told myself to chill & don’t kill myself in the process. Let’s recalibrate the goals because expectations create disappointments and I want to enjoy this journey joyously, if you get what I mean.
3. It’s always good to have stretched goals to challenge ourselves. You know that saying by “The Power of Positive Thinking” author Norman Vincent Peale, “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.” Though I missed my 100.0K goals for 2 consecutive weeks, I am proud of myself that it did managed to breach the 80.0K mark.
So, this is the plan. 28th October is 13 days away. As of now I am typing this, it’s at 82.9K. Short by 17.1K. The expected growth is 1.4K daily consistently to get there. Honestly, my work is getting really busy and with the limited time I have, it’s going to be a really steep one.
But it’s not impossible. Who knows I will get lucky again, right?
