What happens when your focus is driving engagement?
![Page 45: Engagement is not a strategy](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/53fd3d068d7f72e61c8b4704/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
If you’re not careful, you could literally talk yourself broke.

Here’s an example of what i mean.
![Page 47: Engagement is not a strategy](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/53fd3d068d7f72e61c8b4704/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

If I pumped up this level of engagement all the time
![Page 50: Engagement is not a strategy](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/53fd3d068d7f72e61c8b4704/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
