When you consider the human experience how high is too high, in your opinion?

> Publicly announcing your goals to others can

> hurt our credibility if we promise
> such-and-such by a certain date and can't
> live up to it for some reason. That reminds

> "When all is said and done, more is

> he's nowhere near that level of subscribers.
