Today marks a momentous achievement for me!
Getting to a staked 100k LEO tokens has been an arduous and rewarding adventure for me but this is just one of the many milestones I have set for myself. For nearly 2 years I have been on LeoFinance learning and blogging. I've come to find great value in this community and have built some valuable relationships and discovered people who I enjoy learning from. I owe much of my commitment to LEO token thanks to 10 of the top content creators on this platform. Some of the most influential posts I've read come from the following members in no particular order (although I have to admit 
If you aren't following these guys you are missing out. Almost as important to learn from them is the thought and research they put into each post. There are posts that give me ideas, make me laugh, take action and help me think about the much larger picture and possibilities for the world of crypto as an asset and its effects on the people and economies.
How Did I Get To The 100K Staked?
Well it wasn't easy... I started with a 3 hour call with
Since then I have seen LEO go as high as $1.20 at which point I moved half into Cub Defi where It has continued to grow and compound for me. Once a week I take those sweet CUB rewards and convert them over to BLEO then using the Wrapped LEO UI page -> https://wleo.io/bsc Bring them over into LEO and stake.
Yes, timing has had a lot to do with this strategy and I have consistently bought BLEO whenever it hits the range of .21-.25 cents, otherwise I hold the CUB until BLEO hits my buying range. It doesn't hurt that I recently sold one of my properties at the beginning of the year and was able to purchase some additional CUB/BUSD which drastically increased the amount of CUB I am earning.
What If You Don't Have $2,000 To Start With?
I thought about this question a lot and it is the reason I built my real estate training company in the first place. I've always been obsessed with how to make more money and invest it. Over the years I discovered that selling, building businesses and investing in real estate (crypto and Stocks more recently) has one underlying common theme and that is COMMITMENT to success.
If you don't yet have the money to invest and don't even have the money to buy courses to learn how to invest. I still run a free training every Saturday at 10am to teach new business owners and investors how to earn extra money for investing.

On a side note, I am a big fan of the crypto language I have picked up. Both the words smashed together, cut apart, and their definitions. While I was writing this post I kept thinking about my 2 favorites.
Diamond Hands
The term “diamond hands” can refer either to holding your asset with hands as hard as a diamond or holding your asset until it becomes as valuable as a diamond. By contrast, someone with “paper hands” is someone who sells too early. They take losses because they folded easily.
I Had To Google What It Means To HODL
Here is what I found. HODL is sometimes explained as an acronym standing for "hold on for dear life" or some variation. While these etymologies occasionally do a good job of capturing the phrase's meaning. As
What it means is open to interpretation and each investor will eventually come to a version that fits them. I prefer to think beyond the letters and instead "feel" the meaning of Hodling deep in my investor's heart. It means we have put our stake in the ground and no matter what we will HOLD ON for our DREAM LIFE.
I don't say "to the moon" often, but when I do, it's in reference to LEO and the larger LeoFinance ecosystem.
