Some times I hold back on things I want to say. Things that I believe in, things that I believe will help people in a positive way but o am afraid they will be taken the wrong way. Most of the time I am politically correct. But every  now and then you have to let loose to make a point.

But first.

# Thanks LeoFinance 

I want to thank the LeoFinance team for what I think is putting up with a lot of posts. As most of them are not directly about finance. 

But I think they get it. It being me, my blogging style.

I am all about spreading the message of positivity. I believe positivity is the key, at least one of them, that you need to become financially free. That is why I talk about positivity and self better so much.

I could write day after day about the markets, the bears and the bulls, being happy with them or wanting to die because of them. But that directly gets you nowhere. 

So I am doing it my way and thanks to all that get it.

# Take a hard look

If you are not happy with how you are doing in Hive it is time to take a hard look at yourself. 

What are you trying to accomplish? Do you even really know? You may think you do but if you are having a hard time, more than likely you don't. 

The blame game is so easy. I am sure it is part of the fight or flight response built into our DNA.

You get out what you put in. 

I know it takes time to build your brand, reputation,  on Hive. But if you honestly believe you should be doing better than you are then it is time to take a hard look at yourself. 

# Repeating the Basics.

1. Are you writing something you know something about?
2. Are you writing something you are passionate about?
3. Are you posting in the correct community? 
4. Are you posting at least once a day?
5. Are you engaging with others? Leaving comments? Replying to comments? 
6. Are you reading other people's posts?

# Myself 

I critic myself every day. Questions like:

1. Why did I get 50 cents on a post today and $10 yesterday? 
2. Why have only I got two Engagements today? And not ten or more?
3. Have I read and commented on enough posts today?

I take a hard look at what I am doing every day. It is no one else's fault if I have a bad day, or a string of bad days on Hive, and I do, it is my own.

# Get over yourself 

Look long and hard at yourself,  like I said above.

10X your efforts.

You will get where you want to be on Hive if you really want to. I am an example of that.

Someone today asked me, in an engagement,  how many strait days I have posted on Hive. 

1261.

1261 fracking strait days.

Put in the work.

# The Positivity part

I have personally shown what I say works. I walk the walk, I talk the talk.

I can because of where i am.

I know you can be also.

# Challenge You

If you can take some hard love then I Challenge you to give me your excuses against anything I have said.

I will respond with how I believe you are wrong and/or how you can fix it.
