His Words Of Advice Were Encouraging
There is safety in the place of many councils according to the holy book. At every point of our lives we do receive advice from people when we face challenges in life, some advice is good while some is bad. In face some people do things not because they wanted to but because someone special to them gave them the advice, he could be their pastor, mentor, parents or friends.
Well the good thing about advice is that we the recipient are always Left with the choice to either take the advice and work on it or just listen and go our ways. It is better to verify, give deep thoughts to any advice given to us before we put them to usage rather than regretting at the end. As a lot of people have ended their lives because of the wrong advice they got from people, some people have disowned their parents and family members because someone told them something that is not actually the truth.
Some people go into business line, study course they knew nothing about, had no interest and are not properly because they were advised by some, you will find a lot of them in the university, and when you listen to them talk, they will be like it's my mum, my dad, my pastor and so on, they were advised wrongly and they end up getting frustrating because they have no passion for what they are reading or doing.
When I started college I was depending on my parents for everything, I didn't have anything to do and because I depend on them I do go broke when my upkeep doesn't come on time. One of the days I was in my mentor's office and I saw Hive boldly written on the board I was moved to ask what it was all about. After the whole conversation I decided to start hive, with the mindset that I will be making money,just money I was in for the money.
When I started I got some good upvote it's was really encouraging, I was so happy that I have found a means of extra money. Until some month after I was not getting those huge upvotes again, I became discouraged. I left hive. One day he called me to his office and gave me some words of encouragement, he told me I should look beyond the money in hive and take it as a social media platform where I can just be posting for fun, he went ahead to tell me his story on hive how he started from making 150 comments daily on leofinance community just to be consistent and dedicated to earn visibility and that his commitment earn him is first million, just by making comments and earning little Leo tokens he was able to make a million when Leo bull came.
After listening to him I made up my mind to look beyond money in hive, I started making it my Habit to be posting as if I am posting on Facebook just for fun, started engaging communities and making comments on people's posts. This has helped me alot today. Hive has paid so many bills for me, I have been able to meet up with people across the globe. I don't get discouraged anytime my post is not voted, I just know that better days ahead is coming and here am I still growing every day on Hive.
This is something I won't forget in a hurry, consistent and dedicated making fun of everything you do was the key words he told me. Thanks for reading my post please feel free to upvote reblog and do well to drop a comment.
That was really a good advice from your mentor. Newbies usually have a way of focusing only on the money they will get from a platform like hive and when that money isn't coming, they get frustrated. The whole blogging thing is a process and if you miss some of the steps, you won't have a reasonable amount of success from it.
Dedication and consistency are very powerful tools the great ones uses to be successful, you are very lucky to have such a mentor.
I told Justfavour in his post too that it is not all advice we must follow, but to listen to them, sit and think about it thoroughly, then if it is a good one to go for, then we can apply them because not everyone will give the good ones especially those waiting for your downfall and jealous of you.
Though I understand that you came for the money but gave up when it was not showing, it is so with everyone but many of us have decided to stay for the fun of it while we look beyond the money. Now, we make friends who even gave us more opportunities. This is why it is good to find someone who will give us the most real advice we need to be encouraged.
Very true dear some of the friends we made here are closer than our brothers. thanks for stopping by 💕
You are welcome 🙂
All thanks to your mentor for the wonderful advice. Hive is an amazing place to be, it's good here
Yes oo it cool here. Thanks for stopping by
The pleasure is mine
It is usually easy to find people who are only in it for the money. The passion isn't there. I'm glad you have decided to keep up with Hive for the community.
