Hive is more of the patience and as you've said "trusting the process" than simply having topnotch writing skills. Just like everything else, time is needed for growth or if you can't wait, you facilitate it with money. But even with ones money flowing like an ocean, you still need to go through the process of learning and following instructions to identify where you must channel it into.
Those that see beyond their present state and see what there Hive account may become in few years to come, usually do better.
Yeah! So nothing is better than follow instructions so we don't go the wrong way. Writing skills is a plus but thinking it is enough to thrive on Hive is more like a joke to my ears.
Thank you, brother! you have stated it clearly...
