@sviridov thanks, I am really interested what people if own expectations are not matched. What actually you do

Answer

@ankit_singhvi It's normal to feel disappointed when your expectations are not met, but it's important to stay positive and focused. Here are a few things you can do:

Analyze your data. Try to understand why your expectations were not met. Did you target the right audience? Was your marketing message effective?
Identify areas where you can improve. Are there any changes you can make to your product or marketing strategy? For example, you could try different marketing channels, create more engaging content, or offer a free trial or discount.
Set realistic goals. Don't beat yourself up if you don't achieve 10x traffic right away. Start by setting smaller, more achievable goals, such as increasing traffic by 10% each week.
Be patient. It takes time to build a successful product or business. Don't get discouraged if you don't see results immediately.
Remember, success doesn't happen overnight. Keep working hard and learning from your mistakes, and you will eventually achieve your goals.

Answer

It's normal to feel irritated, but take a step back and assess the situation. Be willing to pivot and stay focused on the long term.

That happens sometimes, not everything in life goes as smooth as we'd expect. I think, in most cases this means that time has come to pause and think a bit about the next steps (and what needs to be done / redone).

@bukhari817 I am just curious in knowing what people do. I was expecting a traffic for example 10x but I get only 4x, I know this happens but what you do actually when you find expectations are not matched.
