I know that many of you know that Hive isn't just a blogging platform, but rather a powerful blockchain where you can integrate many different ideas! We have games, dApps, DeFi, and many other things... And all these things can help you out in reaching #MyHiveGoals, or YOUR Hive goals... :) As you can see, #MyHiveGoals aren't just HIVE goals, but rather a mix of a tribe tokens stake, miner tokens, and gaming tokens...
Of course, you don't have to do ALL things that you find on HIVE as at this moment, I think it's almost impossible to do EVERYTHING as there are so many things built on HIVE... It's always best to try to keep your focus that you LIKE, and where you can actively build stuff and help others to do the same...

But, if you want to focus only on your blog, building your followers base and audience, and trying to accumulate as much HIVE as possible, I would like to have a short discussion on this topic... In every investment that we do, we should firstly "describe our goal(s)"... Are we doing it for a short period of time, or we are building some long-term investment?
I'm not an expert in blogging, but in these 3 years on HIVE, I saw different approaches to blog building and noticed a certain pattern... When I began, I saw people having $100 posts and I was getting only cents on my posts... That was frustrating and I wanted to get more... So, I was doing MORE posts per day... As our time per day is limited to 24 hours, the quality of my posts didn't go up, but rather fall down the cliff...
It's hard to create more posts per day as if you want to create something valuable, you need more time for the research, gathering information, preparing images, engaging with others, etc... Luckily, I have realized that a year (or so) ago, and limited myself to 1 post per day (or 3-4 per week)...
I didn't change my niche, my blog is still my "personal blog" where you can find different topics, from my walks, thoughts, photos, etc... It's still in a similar format to before, but I have invested more of MYSELF in every single post that I write... And I think that that approach is what makes HIVE posts different and unique compared to other social networks... That's OUR strength! Our differences, our different opinions, our freedom to express them... That's our LONG TERM plan for success...
On the other side, I saw other authors that have more posts than me, older accounts but still tapping into the same place... Doing 2-3 posts per day... 100-200 words and a picture... Scared to give themselves in their posts... Yes, it's easier to create short posts, and most of the time, it's easier to write 2-3 short posts than 1 longer, with deep thoughts... But, are those posts unique? How long will you keep your audience motivated to come again to read them?
The problem is when people realize that they KNOW what you will write even before you did it, they will not open your posts anymore... Even if you decide to change everything, and start doing "it right"...
It's hard when you come to the platform for the first time, and you will need time to build up your audience... But, if you are investing in yourself and giving yourself to the posts, you will get there faster... You will build your blog for a LONG TERM!
Let's get back to the #MyHiveGoals and numbers for the last week... I have mentioned in some of my posts that I will need around 3K HP per month if I want to reach the ORCA rank! If I continue doing my 1K power-ups on the next #HivePUD-s, I need another 2K per month or around 500 HP per week... So, that's my current goal, to get 500 HP per week...

Luckily, HIVE isn't just a blogging platform, so I can build my HivePower doing some other things on HIVE... For example, I had some interesting trades during the past 7 days, where I took some profits and converted them to HIVE... Also, I was lucky to get some nice rewards inside the Splinterlands game, converted part of them to HIVE, and got another boost for my HP... You get the point, accumulating breadcrumbs from different places you can create a delicious cake... Just like 
Regarding my LEO Power, I have added almost 100 LEO tokens to my stake, which isn't bad at all for just one week! Also, I have to admit that I have exchanged some LEO to HIVE in the meantime... So, this goal should be "reachable" this month...
It's time for a talk about my two favorite tokens, WORKERBEE and BEE... It looks like we have another whale swimming close to the shore, which means that maybe there will be some cheap WORKERBEE tokens for sale soon... We will see who will have more patience in the game... Buyers waiting for the price to go down, or the whale that (doesn't) want to sell cheap tokens...
When HIVE had that 30% pump, the BEE price indexed in HIVE went down dramatically... We saw these HIVE pumps before, and usually, the price would go back down close to where it was before... But, tokens that would be hit by this volatility sometimes do not fully recover... In our case, the BEE price didn't fully recover, but we will see if that will happen in the next few days... Regardless of all that, I have staked additional 20 tokens...
GAMING GOALS
I didn't calculate too much about the RISING STAR game, tokens, or price action... I'm focused on the card number and I have added around 100 new NFTs to my collection...
I mentioned that the "uncoloring" of my SPS tokens goal will happen sooner or later, and it happened this week... I have unstake another big amount of tokens, exchanged half, and put everything inside the diesel pool... As I calculate only the number of SPS tokens (staked + in the pool), the number went down again... Anyways, the APR in the pool is still relatively big, so I think that the numbers will start to grow again next month or so... Will see...
It's time to update the numbers and put them into the spreadsheet until the next week! So, freshly updated numbers for #MyHIVEGoals, on October 9th, 2022 are:
