Let me use myself to contribute to your post. When I joined hive, I had the get rich quick mentality. Now I did post for some days and lost interest because I didn't have the strength so to say to keep up with writing everyday. Coupled with the fact that I wasn't even getting the rewards as I thought I should get. I left for over a month and came back again. Now this time, I came back with the motive of really understanding what the blockchain is really about and how to build myself without putting so much pressure on myself like I did before. So to achieve this, I started moving slow and steady and is it paying? well I will say yes. I have made some really good friends and now I am moving at my own pace.
Another thing I did also was to create a competition in my head. For instance, I would come to your page, and see how much upvote you have gotten and then start trying to run in a competition with you. I didn't even think that you had been in the system long ago and what you are benefitting now is as a result of the hardworking you had put in for a long time. Just like they say
that Rome was not built in a day.
I could go on and on. But the first thing I think is important is the mindset. Whatever mindset you use to start hive, will either make you grow or drop at the end of the day.
Thank you @starstrings01 for another wonderful content.
Hmm, this is so true. Your mindset has a way it affects you on hive. That's why having a good person to onboardb someone to hive is important because they would set the mindset straight before bringing them in.
