*The hive learners community is one of my best community on the hive block chain not just for one reason but for many reasons heheh, I will just highlight why I love the hive learners community so much lol...*

*In the hive learners community we are never short of prompt/topic ideas and the best part is that curation might happen on your post if it is found quality filled and exceptional and on various occasions I have received curation on non prompt contents and I will be like wow this is amazing...*

*The best part of it for me is that whenever I am short of ideas or topic, whenever I go to the hive learners community I just happen to land on that topic that interests me and before I know it  I am already writing and it just keeps on going non stop and even today it has just helped me find something to write about after hours of searching for my desired topic, I eventually found one there and I am good to go, a big shout out to the community hehe 😉😘...*

*Heading into the main content of my post which focuses more on **MENTORSHIP**, I just love to write on interesting things heheh...*

      MY THOUGHTS ON HIVE BEFORE 
              JOINING 🤔🤔🤔...

*Two things attracted me to the hive blockchain and I am sure that one of  my attraction was also something that attracted majority of us to the blockchain hehehe...*

*The first time my onboarder told me about the blockchain, he said he will be introducing me to something that will be fetching me some cash as a side hussle and since I am good with story writing I will be able to make money out of it lol...*

*Hearing the word **story writing and money** made me want to know more about the so called hive blockchain, he never told me it was going to be hard lol, he just told me I would be able to make something out of it and I had it at the back of my mind that it won't be easy because making money is never easy lol but let see how it goes hehe...*

*The day he told me about it, I felt blessed and happy to have known and made friends with him because he has just helped me by introducing this platform to me...*

*In summary, **my thoughts about hive before I joined was that it is a platform where I will be able to make money with my content and that was fascinating and interesting enough for me because writing has been part of me since my early days so it was cool to make money with my talent and skills hehehe**...*

     WHO BROUGHT ME INTO HIVE AND 
    HOW WAS IT WHEN HE WAS TELLING 
           ME ABOUT IT??? 

*Hehehe this was where I first thought surviving on the hive blockchain will be extremely hard lol, I was introduced and onboarded by @burlarj, **he was a really patient mentor lol, he was dedicated to teaching me everything there is to know about the hive blockchain, he was my newbies initiative program hehe**...*

*I saw shege under him lol, I went through thorough lessons and training before I started working on my own but I understood everything he was doing was to prepare me ahead for what is to come because he won't be always available to teach everything and I was motivated to be equipped and I kept on going with him and here I am famx ...*

*It sounded interesting and intriguing at first when he was explaining it to me and I was loving all the things he was saying about the blockchain and how he was able to make it on hive throughout his 5 years here, hearing this made me happy but it all started getting crazy when he was talking about the do's and don't guiding the blockchain...*

*When he first mentioned that no plagiarizing of any sort, I was like what is this and after he explained I took a deep breath lol, he kept on mentioning everything I must not do so that the hive watcher wouldn't come after me hehe...* 

*The moment he landed I realized I have work to do but I was never bothered by the rules because it is impossible for another person to write what is in my head word for word, we might be driving towards the same point but there will be big difference because we have different experiences and that was what made me want to join the more hehe...*

      HAVE I ONBOARDED ANYONE BEFORE??? 

*Oh this is my fears lol, I don't even tell much people about the hive blockchain because I don't want to have issues with me onboarding them and at the end of the day they become the reason for my downfall...* 

*I am scared of onboarding a plagiarist, i think I am not ready to start on boarding anyone because I don't really have the time now , I will only onboard them if they are staying in my area, that will make me see everything he or she does without thinking of plagiarizing...* 

![20221024_142949_0000.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmekoUjzjbMcdmTAy8TYWQJAMnF9eG75KzzJDvk8ASpipR/20221024_142949_0000.png)

*It is just very hard to onboard someone you barely know and that is why I am taking my time to onboard anyone and most importantly I haven't found someone who is desperate enough to know about what I am doing and until then I will look out for someone who is willing to make me proud just like how I have made my mentor proud...*

*I am still wowed at how my mentor just introduced me to hive just like that and till today I still ask him what he saw in me that made him introduce me to hive, he just laughs and says he had a good feeling about it lol...*

*I can onboard people but I have to make sure they are available for face to face lesson and training before I onboard them, they need to know the rules and regulations guiding the blockchain...*

     MY ADVICE TO EVERY NEWBIE JUST  
      JOINING THE HIVE BLOCKCHAIN .. 

*I have made a lot of posts talking about the do's and don't of the hive blockchain including how to survive throughout your stay and I will keep on saying it again that surviving on the hive blockchain is not easy and it is only the courageous, determined, hard working and diligent ones that will survive on the hive blockchain...*

*Hive is not a fast and quick money making machine, to make money here you have to give your best and in exchange for you best you will be rewarded and recognized...*

*It is never going to be busy but with patience and diligence you will come out top at the end, I and everyone before you today are a living testimony...*

*Sometimes your quality content won't get rewarded but fret not because you are only just starting out and the more you make quality engagement and post your survival is assured...*

*In summary, making money is never easy and there is no free money in free town and that means you have to work your ass off to make a living of the hive blockchain...*

*In conclusion, when the journey gets tough the tough gets going, don't forget that phrase, you will experience a lot on this journey but with time it will keep getting sweeter and interesting and that is the fact but now keep on working hard to survive...*
