The 1000 True Fans maths is wrong. Do it anyway.
Not everyone agrees with the 1000 True Fans model and I just want to say RELAX. Its really not that deep! I watched a video of someone breaking down why the 1000 True Fans model doesn't actually work the way the fantasy version promises. They're not wrong. The maths does break. 1,000 fans paying $10 a month sounds like $120,000 a year. But then reality shows up. Growth is slow at first. People cancel. Getting customers costs you either money or time. By the time you account for all of that, the number looks very different. So WHY AM I BUILDING around this idea? (,,•᷄ࡇ•᷅ ,,)? Because the maths was never the point. The point is that your brain needs something to move toward. FACTS. There's a concept called the Reticular Activating System - your RAS - and it's basically the filter your brain uses to decide what to pay attention to. Give it a target and it starts noticing everything that moves you closer to that target. Conversations. Opportunities. Content ideas. People. Things that were always there but invisible until you had a reason to see them. 1,000 is a target. That's its job. It's not a promise. It's a direction.

Also you may not go from zero to 1,000 (although that is what I wish for you... and myself!) chances are it will be a slow burn so you may want to focus on a smaller milestone. This will help keep your momentum in check. It can be 100. It can be 200. It can be 500. The number was never the thing. The thing is having a number. Pick a number that feels real to you right now. Not aspirational to the point of paralysis. Real.
