This is the first post in a series about personal finance, goals, and tracking results.
A bit of background for the story... I'll try to keep it as brief as possible...
So, I created this account a little over a year ago, in October 2023. I had specific goals and plans for this project. There’s a website where I intended to publish articles, and this account was created under the same name. The plan was to post long texts on sociology here, conduct extensive research on the Hive ecosystem, and share reports on the website.
However, over time, I realized that my knowledge from the FAQ and the project’s white paper was just scratching the surface. The ecosystem’s structure is quite unique when it comes to finding information. To be honest, answering even seemingly simple questions about Hive often requires considerable effort. At the same time, as social connections grow, so does the amount of knowledge you gain.
To some extent, I overestimated my abilities and resources, which led to adjustments in both my plans and processes. I imagined things unfolding differently, but, as often happens, there were surprises along the way. Still, a gentleman works with what he has and doesn’t look for excuses. That’s the first part of the background and a bit of a revelation.
The second part of the background is that I didn’t initially plan to write anything like this. Just about an hour ago, I was working on a draft for an article titled "Types of Hive Users and Opportunities for Engaging Them in the Ecosystem". While searching for information using a "secret" tool in my browser’s search bar with the tag site:peakd.com Hive ecosystem investor, I came across some fascinating materials.
And by chance, I came across an article by 
Some time ago, I was searching for articles resembling "success stories" from community members, but I couldn’t find anything substantial back then. And here’s an example:
All posts related to this initiative in my blog will be tagged with #finweek. Naturally, my curiosity got the better of me, and I skimmed through a few more articles by
I think that’s enough background for now—it’s time to get to the numbers...
Numbers
- Starting Balance: 3,540.364 HP
- Goal by Year-End: 4,000 HP
- Shortfall: 459.636 HP
It seems unrealistic, but with the New Year holidays ahead, who knows...
A Few Words About the Plan
I plan to publish posts in this series weekly, on Saturdays or Sundays.
How Do I Plan to Achieve This?
By writing articles. I plan to delegate 3,500 HP to 
The decision to delegate is more of a necessity. My electricity is frequently cut off, so I can’t always guarantee consistent activity. When the power is on, there are other tasks that demand my attention.
That’s it for now. Perhaps this burst of enthusiasm will grow into something greater over time—it's worth a try.
