1. “When it comes to gaining subscribers, how do I know which strategies work and which don’t, without wasting what limited time I have?” Mindset shift #1: No time is wasted. I will learn as much from the flops as I do from the strong finishes.
2. “I don’t know where to find my readers.” Mindset shift #2: Change the idea of “finding my readers” to building relationships.
