Coming soon, advanced whale charming class...
“Figure out what it is you want to be, then surround yourself with people that are successful at being that.” I look back on this piece of advice and find I still believe it today. It was given to me by a pastor in a church years ago, and whether you’re religious or not, the principle still has merit. It’s true, and wealthy people know it. What do you think happens to a wealthy person that fills their life with poor friends? Before long they’re going broke supporting them. The reverse truth isn’t as obvious, religious people are able to take it on faith.
There are truths in this world that aren’t easily explained with logic, this just happens to be one. I spent most of my life surrounding myself with the wrong people, and always ended up in the wrong places and doing the wrong things.
Crypto enthusiast social communities allow us to realize this principle in a more powerful way than has ever been possible, except by extreme luck, in our world.
If you want to learn how to make money, learn from someone that’s really good at it. By writing posts, and engaging on #hive, or any of the 2nd layer community products, we have the opportunity to befriend people that have already successfully made fortunes on #hive, and other blockchains.
Even if you’re not able to create a 1on1 relationship with some of these whales, just reading and commenting on their posts will often reward you with new information, but it opens the door for more meaningful relationships.
Ten years from now, I want to be hanging out on the deck of my sailboat with a bunch of my wealthy hive contacts, getting pro tips from guys that are smarter than I am. This isn’t that far-fetched.
Time to change the tone though, this isn’t just a post of greed. Building relationships for the sole purpose of making money seems empty.
The nature of this platform makes it about money, and social engagement rewards us in this manner. I want to use hive to build lasting relationships, and the financial benefits will be an extra reward. The only way to do this is through engagement, but just building connections through blogging isn’t deep enough. If you’re like me and you’re looking to build lasting connections with like-minded people, click my discord link at the bottom and come find me!
What are your goals? What is it you are trying to accomplish through #hive, and how can other people on here help you? It may be that through engagement, you stumble on to an opportunity, and before you know it you’re a project or community founder. The skies are the limit, and community engagement can empower us beyond what we think we’re capable of. So, read more posts and drop more comments, they’re even going to pay you to do it!
