I think you have nailed it on the head with this one. The only way to grow on Hive is to keep plugging away day after day, be engaged, but also learn to adapt and try new things. People don't grow who aren't willing to shift behavior and take risks. Every post on here is risky, one puts out a piece of himself into every post and comment, and for creatives it's even more intimate. I have yet to see anyone who has taken a risk here crash and burn completely. Everyone who puts in effort in Hive grows, even if it seems as slow as tree growth!
Well said! @driptorchpress
Exactly and I think quite a few people have learned that lesson through their interaction here - I am one of those. I always thought I was playing it safe by not investing, but that is as risky as it gets.
Again, this is a funny conflict I have as I am a pretty private person normally, yet I have gone out on many limbs I would never have earlier and hopefully, it has helped people build their own direction in a way that is suited to themselves.
Other than the risk to scam. =)
Thanks for the great comment mate!
