How important would you call your support system in your financial journey? The road to success is often painted as a very lonely journey with one person (the aspirant) as the primal focus following a set of laid down rules and recommendations to achieve results. Sometimes though this can be misleading, as there is a very large role played by other people ranging from one person, a few to even tens of people throughout a persons financial journey.

A lot of effort put in without the necessary guidance for instance may just amount to wasted effort. Imagine not having anyone to point you in the right direction? This kind of aimless scramble will often lead to frustration and a feeling of resignation.

It is important to recognize and not underestimate the influence of Others in our financial journey. That isn't to say one should become dependent on others as that is a recipe for disaster. Rather, what it entails is that we put in our individual effort while acknowledging the importance of others and doing our best to deeply connect with people on the way.

Sometimes we tend to look down on the potential impact other people may have on us perhaps because of their financial capacity which may not be big. For instance one doesn't expect financial support to come from a friend that is struggling and experiencing financial struggles too. However, support comes in various ways and forms.

I have received some decent pieces of advice on various financial issues from people who were in the same position as me. When you also consider the level of moral support and encouragement for instance, the value only increases and it becomes even more difficult to quantify the impact of such support and place a value on it.

On Hive I recently (yesterday) was assigned Dolphin status. This I owe to the community generally but some accounts in particular that have been very supportive since my comeback last year. We can talk about consistency and determination, but it is incomplete if there is no one to offer us a hand of support. This is perhaps why the community structure on hive is a leader in the crypto space (at least in my opinion).
