The Value of Transferrable Skills on the Hive Ecosystem

Many think of hive and the ecosystem surrounding hive in a singular fashion. I must blog about finance on leofinance, or I must only blog about movies on CineTV. What if say you were to blog about the financials of the last top 10 movies? Or, to exemplify my point -- you were to blog about the effects of regular cannabis usage on your online business (weedcash & Ctp)? You see where I'm going with this?

We use this term transferrable skills in the business world quite a bit in the hiring process. What skills does a person have than can be transferred over to their new position, whilst perhaps not having any experience in the trade?

Think of it this way. A psychiatric nurse is going to be an excellent sales person. Why? Because psychiatric nursing is all about understanding the person and helping them overcome problems they may have to a healthier life. This is similar to sales (in theory). The goal is to find the problems a person has in their lives and solve them with the products that you have. Two entirely different trades and methods, but with similar and usable skills in each.

See my point?

We all have skills that can be brought over from our last trade and into our new trade. This can even be true for the most basic of skills. A site general labourer is going to be an excellent pot washer. Why? Because both jobs are physically demanding and require a heavy amount of repetition.

Essentially you don't need to have done the job before to be well suited to it.

This is why I say you can adapt your writing methods to get more involved in communities you necessarily might shirk off otherwise because of time constraints. Like for example writing about that you're saving up regularly for a new organic natural medicine for a family member, and the toll that takes on you financially (leo & lotus). There are so many combos to get involved in so that you can maximise those rewards.

But then this isn't only valuable to writers, but people that want to start up their own thing as well. The Hive ecosystem is probably one of the easiest places to begin a project. One click and you're done. You've just created a token and now you begin to build whatever it is that you want to create.

I said in my last post here about tokenising your life so I won't dig too deep into the subject, but it's a point that a lot of people miss. You can apply tokenisation to almost everything you do which involves some kind of production of value. Obviously it needs to be yours though. Can't be tokenising your workplace when the decision isn't yours to do so.

But then we can transfer a lot of skills that we already have to the blockchain. My last job was a writer, and my previous job before that was a PM in a Mental Health Charity. So what I did is I combined my writing skills, my addiction to helping out others, and my community building skills and created one big project out of it. Certainly I've learned a lot of new skills through the journey. It's a continuous cycle of learning and applying.

@hetty-rowan asked me on her last post what could she possibly do to create her own business, as she's not seeing it. But then we all know hetty as a really good writer and photographer, there's plenty of things she could do with her craft! Her self confidence is perhaps blinding her to this fact (her admission, not mine).

So we take hetty, a skilled photographer and excellent writer and apply these skills to the blockchain. She could be the first wedding photographer to hand out wedding photos as nft's on nftshowroom.com, or, as a simple example she could take the total sum of her production and tokenise it in the same way @chronocrypto does with his project Utopis. So many things she can do with her valuable skills. That is just the tip of the iceberg.

So you see, there are many trades in this world but we only posses a limited amount of skills. The trade number far outweighs the skills required to do them. A surgeon in my opinion would be an excellent coder, and both trades require a great deal of finesse to deal with them. Of course you'd have to learn from scratch again but those core skills would set you apart from the rest.

Maybe it's time for you to take your skills to the blockchain. Have you given it some really good thought? :)
