It is refreshing to read that. :)

Engaging with people on the block-chain is an essential part of this.
Upvotes are cool, and can pay the bills,but it’s the interactions and engagement where things really take off and we grow as individuals.

And that is basically how it is.

It is not easy, but it is not impossible. You decide if this is the way you want to earn a living. Then you go at it. You work hard, you learn, you do what you do best, know best and stick with it. You have to be patient, you have to persevere and if you can maintain  your interest, and refuse to give up, you will make it one day.

I have a feeling you will keep winning!  Keep up the consistency. It’s good inspiration for the rest of us. 

Hi Jon, have you ever heart about Art Williams? Check his most fameus speech https://jamesclear.com/great-speeches/just-do-it-by-art-williams
It Ties in perfectly with what you talk about.

Great advice about being consistent Jon, one step forward every day goes a long distance over time, keep up your awesome work.

A lot of people the fear of competition has killed them, their vision and goals.

Consistency matters a lot in the road to achieving success

Wow! I love this post! Everybody always gets hung-up on the idea of being competitive, of always being the best...

There is nothing wrong with being competitive, but I believe we must keep the focus at the right place and enjoy *healthy* competition. We should use competition to build and improve ourselves. 

Always comparing ourselves to other people can lead to depression and unhappiness.

May I be bold and use *you* as an example (using your own post...lol)?

You mention that you're "a nobody on HIVE and in the bigger world of affiliate marketing" and how your content will never win a prize etc.

But, later you mention how you focus on what you are good at and how you build the best online training you possibly can...

I believe that **is** the secret. Do the best *you* can do and just be the best **you** that you can be. You are the best Jon G. Olson there will ever be. And because of that, you have a great following with huge success. 

And that goes for every single individual out there. We need to learn to just be ourselves and become the best version of ourselves that we can be. 

Thanks for sharing this post! As you most probably realize by now, it got me thinking big time! 

If you are bad with years of experience in content creation, video recordings, blogs and vlogs, how bad am I with my 1-year experience? lol... 

But, still... I'm swimming in this pond with consistently showing up every day with fresh content... and getting paid for doing that... and not just that... Being appreciated by some of the awesome people here... 

So, everyone can do it... Just be stubborn, show up, and plug into the community...
