    a little tough love for entrepreneurs post like you're Justin Bieber promoting SWAG

Transcript

Justin Bieber posted 97 times over the span of five days to promote his new album. Do you think you're better than Justin Bieber? I don't think I'm better than Justin Bieber. I can't believe my biggest regret that I have is not posting the content because I was worried about what people thought about me. So you best believe that I will be posting multiple times on multiple platforms to get to my launch that I have worked on for months, but it's actually the accumulation of years of work because I don't think I'm better than Justin Bieber, and neither should you.
