Mr. @jongolzon is an inspiration to me. Why? He lives by what he tells you.

Read the post.

I can tell you what he says works. 

The first one, engage with five people a day. For me this is the hardest thing to do. At least in a meaningful way. Sure I tip left, right, and center. I mostly wait for someone to engage with me before I do it. That is a mistake and I have to get better at it.

Number two. If you check my account you can see I surpassed the 500 followers.  Well over 700 now. 

Number three. 5000 Hive Power. Been there once. But life hit me. I was down to 1000 at one point. But I straightened out my life and started rebuilding and I am heading towards 4000 again. Hoping for a min of 6000 year end.

# It is NOT easy.

Nothing about showing up everyday and finding something to post about everyday is easy. But if you want tonbe successful on Hive and in life you have to put in the work.

You have to engage, you have to build and it will take time. Stopping in now and then will not do that. 

# CTPX 

The same goes for [CTPX](https://ctpx.io/?ref=bradleyarrow).

If you want to succeed you will find a way. For me and CTPX I learned to use Hive Keychain app on my mobile and I keep CTPX open while at work and surf every single spare moment. 

Here are some of my results.

Team 3. That is three referrals.  Whoop whoop.

I find a way to put the time, energy and work in. For Hive, CTPX and everything I do.
