There are many channels if you want to expand your presence. Makarand said that if you need to start building your social media presence, he urges you to focus on one or two channels to get the most bang for the buck. Because at the end of the day, we have a limited amount of time, and we can only do so much to build your presence.

Instagram and Facebook

Best channel to build your presence is Instagram and Facebook. Instagram is at a point today where Facebook was maybe about a couple of years back.

Number three is comparison is the thief of joy. He says that you should not compare yourself with the other person, for that matter. Everyone has their destiny. And the comparison is suitable to a certain degree because it allows you to come up with some baseline. You focus on your journey or your destiny, and then things will happen.
