I have recently been enthralled with starring a business and have been doing a lot of research on it that has consumed the bulk of my free time after work. It has been so bad over the last couple of days that I missed blogging on the Hive platform for several days, something that I once deemed unlikely with the exception of me falling ill. Yet such has been my obsession with this new idea that most of my energy has found its way over there.

I realized though that there is an error in my strategy when my Hive time started to suffer. Am still at the idea generation stage and absolutely nothing has been done concerning taking action on the project. It is wonderful to work and refine ideas, but choosing to work on a dream and abandon the consistent realities of my daily routine is unwise, this I know.

We might say it all starts as a dream, and even our time on Hive was motivated by the thought of earning from publishing and becoming better investors on the crypto space. We all started from somewhere, but the action we've taken towards actualizing those ideas are not to be taken lightly. We have needed to work hard towards growth and consistency has been our major requirement for participation on the chain. I think sometimes we get carried away by ideas that it becomes easy to not consider the difficulty involved in transforming an idea into reality.

Many of us also live in idea stage fantasies that we keep moving from one great idea to the next without actually settling down on one. It isn't a bad thing to work towards finding the right ideas and insights that work for us, but not putting in the required effort on any of them will certainly not yield any results. I have come to realize that taking action on a terrible plan is a lot better than having lots of great ideas without the energy or discipline to implement them.

Also, working on something new is great, but we must be mindful of the things that enable us function and be careful not to under appreciate them. For instance, if I didn't have an actual job I'd have virtually no time for Hive as I'd be too engrossed with seeking out ways to make a living. The same goes with this new project, as my income streams actually afford me the luxury of trying to build another income stream at my own pace. Neglecting what is already established might cause damage to the potential of both.

Conclusion

Of course I still seek out growth though and I chase my dreams. I am however under no illusions concerning what is required of me. Simply throwing what I already have because of what might be possible isn't the way of sustainable growth. Sometimes it doesn't have to be all or nothing.
