RE: The imperfect pursuit of excellence
Love this. The analogy of training and adapting is brilliant. Also the critical message that to hear and understand the coaching, people need to know the why. If we can simplify the explanation of the why, I think many more people will hear it and take action. You did a great job of describing the why in a few paragraphs. Those should be captured in a marketing brochure for Steem!
I am hoping that it will be an approach of a thousand funnels through application gateways, as I believe that this is what is needed to firstly gather many and then, target them using what is already familiar and of interest to them. A gamer can become an investor, an investor see the value in people, a consumer recognize why ownership is important. It all takes time to develop, even for those of us on Steem who have been here a while.
That is absolutely true. I still have no idea what I’m doing, 2.5 years in. 😁
But seriously, all the apps and communities are definitely part of the answer. If you love gaming, or being active or doing something for the environment, etc., you can find something meaningful here. And it is not just about hoping to catch a rising star and make a boatload of money. That’s a nice dream, but it doesn’t fuel heart, mind and soul. And for a lot of people it’s like playing the lottery — no real commitment to the structure and outcome and promise of it for the masses. It’s a “what can I get out of this” mentality. And the reason so many left when the price dropped.
Very few percentage-wise are going to be able to retire off Steem with some kind of miracle hail Mary, but I am pretty confident it will still be life changing for thousands as a revenue stream and perhaps a backup plan.
Once people start actually doing what they love to do here daily, the earning will take less focus but still keep ticking over in numerous ways. Heart and mind requires more than outcome, it has to be part of the journey.
Precisely said! - It’s more important for me to be at the beginning of the path and go together - the income is in my second place.
many get the hierarchy in the the wrong order and focus too early on the income and forget that they need to first build a foundation.
