It comes back to effort.
Most things in this life do.
You don't need to be the most talented person in the room to be the best person.
As the old saying goes, " Fail to prepare. Prepare to fail."
It doesn't matter what you take on in life but turn up half arsed and expect to sail through it and you will be in for a severe shock.
Setting goals, targets, planning for success. Knowing where you are and where you are trying to get to.
Seeing what your hurdles will be along the way and being prepared to jump straight over them.
There is a reason that sports teams, businesses, governments and everybody else do so much analysis before big events.
They try to forsee what could go wrong and try to prevent them before they become real problems.
My plan is the same that it has always been. To keep building and keep growing.
Hive is a great way to do this.
All of the stats that you need for growth are right there for everybody to see.
15000 HP as payout for your posts, comments and curation.
That is almost $15k at today's prices just for a bit of writing online. Make some comments and have some fun.
It's just a matter of time before a lot more people discover our dirty little secret.
Hivebuzz is just one handy example but leostats is another. The smarter people can look at the data themselves and see what is going on every day.
At the start of the month I was 276 in terms of hive power. Just a couple of weeks later it's jumped by three places to 273. This is clear progress.
All of the effort pays off and by turning up daily I will continue to pass out the people ahead of me. I might not be as smart as them but i will be hungrier and put in the effort.
I am only following in the footsteps of the people that are even further up the chain and hav eput in more work than anybody else.
They are the ones to study and analyze if you want to be successful. See how much effort that they put in and how they stack harder than anybody else.
That is how you take on a big challenge. One level at a time and outwork the person on the level above you.
It might take years but that is where the effort comes into play. Even better if you can find faster ways to do it by analyzing all of the options for growth out there.
