There was a point when I started treating collaboration like a shortcut out of a slow season. If I tagged the right person, https://ceo.ca/@PostSphere/ins-ins-the-complete-strategy-guide-to-instagram-growth-branding-and-sustainable-influence got reposted by the right page, or lined up a smart little cross-audience moment, maybe things would move faster. Sometimes they did. Borrowed exposure is not automatically a bad thing. The issue was my energy around them. I could feel when I was reaching out from alignment, and I could also feel when I was reaching out because I wanted someone else's audience to solve a clarity problem on my own page.
