A JOURNEY TO CREATING WEALTH || HIVE AS A PASSIVE INCOME

---

Hive is currently my primary source of income. I don't have any other way to make money or survive than through Hive. This is why, no matter how busy my life is, I will always return here; however, I would prefer that all of my earnings from Hive be kept passively. Although Hive offers a variety of ways to earn passively, curation rewards are the most popular, and this is where I earn the majority of my passive income. With my limited Hive Power, I can produce approximately 100 Hive per month.

In addition to the curation rewards, I have a small number of rewards in my second-layer tokens that I earned passively through Hive.

One thing I know is that I need to increase my Hive Power and Hive Growth. I would need to be able to save a significant portion of my Hive earnings, as well as have another source of income to purchase and stake Hive. This is why I chose to learn a high-income skill.

If you have been a consistent follower of mine or have read my blogs, you would know that I am getting into technology, specifically Cloud/DevOps Engineering. These jobs have a steep learning curves and are not easy to learn, so having a source of income will encourage you to keep learning. This is why I appreciate Hive's assistance.

It appears that staying focused is difficult for me because I am combining my career path as a Cloud/DevOps Engineer with studies in physical school and Hive activities, but what can I do but keep pushing until the goal is reached? I won't lie, there are times when I lose focus and go crazy weighing my activities.

To summarise, my goal is to find a new source of income and to grow my Hive portfolio. It appears straight and direct, but it is extremely difficult to achieve. I'm not sure how close or far it is in the future, but when I get a job as a DevOps engineer and start making $60k - $100k yearly, it will be the right time to boost my Hive Power and hopefully my dream of becoming a whale will become visible because all my earnings on Hive will stay on Hive along with purchasing more to power up.

This is the journey I dream to creating wealth....
