In December of 2020 we had a HUGE milestone - We hit 1 million subscribers here on YouTube. It has been a long journey to get here, and Chris reflected on that journey recently on the Clubhouse app. In his talk, he went over nine guiding principles that got us to a million subscribers. However, these principles can really be used to grow your audience on ANY social media app.

If you have the Clubhouse app, you can connect with Chris at thechrisdo, where he'll be giving more talks in the future.

1. Put in the work, show up every day, be patient,
2. The longer you play the game the better you get, persist to resist
3. Ignore those who do not want your success, don’t give a stranger the ability to affect your life
4. Try new things, make mistakes, don’t be afraid to fail, failure is an opportunity in disguise
5. Done is better than perfect, perfectionist is a form of procrastination and is the enemy of execution, small steps
6. Be generous, help others
7. You are a poor judge of your own talents
8. Plans are overrated, paralysis by analysis
9. What makes you weird makes you wonderful, being different is a competitive advantage
