Today marks 3 months since I came to Twitter.

After years of barely using it, I decided to commit.

Here are 9 takeaways from my journey:
1. Build relations

Be:

1. kind
2. polite
3. Human
4. curious
5. friendly
6 authentic
7. generous

People come to Twitter to build an audience but stay for the community.

Your followers' count doesn't dictate who you are.
Your Community does.

Start a conversation 🤗❤️
2. Define your values

If you:

• Comment on my Tweets, I'll reply
• Quote me, I'll comment
• Send me a DM, I'll answer
• Ask for a call, I'll schedule it
• Ask for lessons learned, I'll share

When it comes to building an engaged community, I'm all in.

These are my values.
