Hey @jongolson, It's great you found such success on Hive and the blockchain!!

I truly understand where your coming from and LUCK has nothing to do with it. As long as I've been following you, even before Hive, I know that you've have put in the work and you're here everyday doing wht you need to do to make it happen.You're growth and results of making it on Hive and the blockchain are truly well deserved!

You preach, I listen.

I remember when I started on steem by following you, I had heard of steem about 2 years prior but procrstinated on starting an accout simply because of 'fear of the unknown'. So when you bought it to #CTP I had no choice but to take advantage of what was in front of me all along.

I'm not yet making a living from hive, (and the key word is 'yet') but I know I still have about another couple of years before it start to work for me. First I need to step up my game, after all I'm only about a third into the game compared to you.

Again, You Preach, I Listen!!

Everytime I hear you say do this, follow that, get this token, follow this tribe/person, I'm on it 'cause I think of you and know that you are my role model to follow to get to where I want to be. You've been there, you've done it and so can I, I just have to follow your lead.

The problem is that people want to make a quick buck and that's just not provided here on Hive and soon as they see that they're ready to run or think that you only got what you have because you had the money to invest.

People this is not so, and I can say this because it took me a while to get where I am but when I start doing more of what jon preaches, and have less excuses, I'll be up there too! It's not about luck, it's about dedication and being there 'EVERDAY'!

PATIENCE is Key!
