Investment.
The thing is this, you NEED to show people you’re invested in what you do. Rather thats a brand, a craft, or something professional. Without signs that youre investing in what you want people to support why would they invest in you?
A dog is loyal to the person that feeds him.
Meaning, if you invest in time, effort, and energy in your dog(craft, brand, expertise) it will stay loyal. Not only does it stay loyal but it protects and teaches you alot about your self. if you cant invest in something you believe in 9/10 times you arent willing to invest in yourself to have a better life.
