<center><h3> If You Can Believe, You Can Achieve </h3></center>

This week I have achieved two important milestones in my Hive Journey! @hivebuzz pinged to inform me that I am a Dolphin now. 🦈 That is incredible! It also means I am also 2 milestones away from being a whale. xD That is not going to be easy for sure but I truly believe it will happen one day. Not very soon but soooooon ™ I am constantly working every day towards that goal. Once it becomes a reality and I achieve whale status on Hive, I will retire and start creating content full-time. 😂😂 That's my long-term plan. My main job will be to have fun while doing things I want to do. Honestly, I am already doing it. Spending most of my time here trying out different things to increase my stake and it is a lot of fun. Hive's ecosystem is so vast that only one account is sufficient for everything you need. Social media, gaming & finance, what else do you desire in your life, right? Just want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support and love. Couldn't have reached this so far without you guys. ❤️

When I started blogging on Leo Finance last year, I didn't have any big expectations. Just wanted to learn more about Finance & Crypto. As I moved forward my goals changed and new ones were set. Now I want to hit whale status on Hive in the next 5 years or at least reach 100k Hive Power by that time. That would be a huge achievement for me. 100k is my number when I will start taking out an income from my Hive investments. Without putting my own money, it's going to be tough so I will feed into my stake from time to time to let it grow a bit faster. Another way to build your stash is to keep publishing content via Hive Dapps and Communities. The second milestone I achieved was to hit the 350 posts mark. Thank you @hivebuzz for this cool badge. xD

<center><h3> Saving For The Dips </h3></center>

HIVE is the only coin I am most interested in all of crypto. Earlier it was Bitcoin, then become Ethereum, then bitcoin again. And now I am finally settled on Hive. It has immense potential to grow into something wild. Not many people know about it, which is a great thing. Once it goes mainstream among the masses, it won't be easy to acquire as much Hive when that happens. Just imagine the demand of liquid Hive going through the roof once we have multiple successful DApps like Splinterlands. 

I am saving my money for the dips. Keeping a big stash of stablecoins to take advantage of the dip whenever it comes. All the Hive I will acquire during the dips would be powered up continuously to increase my influence on the platform. 🚀

<center><h3> Long Term Mindset </h3></center>

Hive is not a short-term game. You have to spend a lot of time understanding the system and different ways to grow your following and stake. 'Time' is the ultimate hack when it comes to Hive. If you put in more hours every day, you will more value out of it. If you are someone who is living off their Hive rewards, then you will be in a bad position in the future. You will have to sell your existing stake and during the dips, you will end up selling more. That's a bad strategy IMO. 

If Hive is your side hustle, then you can use your time, skills and money to grow your stake even when there is a bear market. You will be making more Hive than others when you keep on compounding your rewards. At first, the amount of Hive you are earning every day will seem less but it grows exponentially. 

So, you can imagine if you put in a lot of hard work for 5 years, you will definitely retire or at least be in a much better position to take up Hive full-time. So, don't have a small-term mindset. Think long-term and see your life changing in 5-10 years. 

<center><h3> My Advice To Newbie Creators</h3></center>

Consistency & Hardwork beat talent any day. If you are showing up every day, luck will be in your favor and your quality of work will improve automatically. Perfection is a fucking trap. It stops you from doing good things. Done is any day better than perfect. 

If you consistently put out content every day and improve, there's no stopping you. Similarly, if you consistently invest back in your Hive portfolio and dollar cost average, there's no way you won't get rich in 5 years. Becoming a dolphin took me one step ahead to become a whale. If I didn't work it out, my muscles wouldn't have grown. And I would've ended up being eaten as a tuna salad. 😂

Alright, enough of *gyan* today. See you after hitting the next milestone. 🤘
