People are going to think it's cringe. People are going to think you're a wannabe. Until it works...and then they can't tell you sh*t. About 6 months ago, a bunch of us went to see our friend pitch his first MLB appearance in Wrigley Field. While at the game, a few of us got up to grab some beers and popcorn. And as we returned, a random guy from the stands gave me a shout out for my TikTok content. It was very flattering and I went and chatted with him for a few seconds. Now this had happened to me a couple of times before, but never when friends or family were around. One of which said "dude that was crazy." And proceeded to say something to me that I was honestly pretty surprised to hear... "I'll be honest, once you were posting all that stuff on Tiktok a few of us kinda said to one another 'Can you believe that Jack is trying to be an influencer?'" I wasn't mad, nor was I surprised. Because (1) you never know who may be talking sh*t about you, (2) you never know who silently rooting for you, (3) you have to accept the fact you will be mocked for taking the road less traveled. Because the truth is, you're cringe until it works out. Similarly, your crazy until your startup takes off. And lastly, your finances are good until they're not. I may not be able to help with the first two things, but we can most definitely with that final comment (about your finances) through Habits Inc.

Agreed. The only reason not to not take advantage of free marketing regardless of the platform is either limited time, limited skill, or something legal. With that being said, my wife told me Tik Tok is shutting down in January, no?

People can call it “cringe” or “crazy” all they want, but success is the best revenge. Keep doing your thing!
