Here's the thing. None of these metrics have a direct correlation to your business in entrepreneurship and business. These metrics correlate to exposure and awareness you create in the social media space that can potentially...potentially create an introduction to someone else. Relationships! You're always one relationship away from changing your life and business. You could get thousands of views on a post (I have on Instagram and YouTube Shorts) and none of them correlate to even a conversation or a comment.
