Heyyy before you come for my head saying there possibly can't be any benefit, bitcoin, etherum and the likes are so priced now, the stakes are high etc. I'd like you to slow down just a little bit and hear/ read me out. Lol...
I've heard stories of many who have joined the party late and still make the. I'm one of those who arrived late, its so easy to give up even before getting a hang of it, but I'm going to share a few tips which I focus on not to get discouraged.
Being late ...
YOU ARE OPEN TO MORE KNOWLEDGE. Considering many have gone ahead of you, there is the advantage of cheap knowledge and access to very many resources. Look at me for example, all I've been doing is reading and trying to make sense of what seems like a lot of technical nonsense. Dont look at all the posts and writeups as TMI (too much information) else you will suffer from information overload. Just take it one day at a time and read, create a pattern, follow a trend till it begins to make sense. For me, I feel like I'm not as lost as I thought I was.
YOU HAVE MENTORING DIRECTLY AND INDIRECTLY. So while some may not be so excited to mentor you, being late gives a wide range of successful people to follow. You can chose to follow based on the person's willingness to teach you the ropes or study patterns and principles of people you admire from a distance. This will aid you in making your own decisions to succeed.
STRUCTURE AND GUIDANCE This is different from mentoring. Joining a platform when it's fully built, it should make sense faster. You are more inclined to get tips, direction,steps, welcome buddies, redirect links, community invites etc. If you take advantage of these, getting a hang of things should be wayyy easier.
Conclusion
Your ability to succeed is in your mind. If you think you can then you will. If you think you can't then you won't. Look on the bright side, be positive and there look out for the silver lining.
