#MyHiveGoals - Put In The Work!
Ho-hum....Another 7 days on the blockchain!
Last week, @taskmaster4450 and I were having a little discussion about how to 'double' your stake here on Hive. As he put it, it's pretty tough for someone with like 100,000 Hive Power to double it quickly, unless of course they have big pockets and can invest a bunch into it...
But for someone tat has 100 Hive Power....Getting to 200 is VERY achievable. And I think this is why I do these weekly posts...Sure, it's to keep me on track but also to show people what you can accomplish when you...
Show up every day!
Breaking goals down into smaller chunks help us reach any level we want! But it starts with learning how to earn 1 Hive a day, which turns into 2...And ta-da, you've doubled it ;)
I truly hope these posts inspire newer community members to dig in and show up daily. Another quick reminder, I didn't have ANY big bank account to invest into this blockchain. But I had the desire to show up every day and put in the work. I'm just one example, of how awesome Hive can be...
If you put in the work!
150,000 Hive Power
I grabbed a little extra Hive this past week and you can see the small bump on my Hive Power earlier last week...
150,000 - 119,205.56 = 30,794.44 left to go
I'm used to a slow and steady growth curve on my Hive Power journey, but with the price of Hive under $1...I might dive in a bit more this coming week :)
30,000 LEO, 1,000,000 SPT & 100,000 ONEUP
Have I ever mentioned how much I love @leo.voter ??
30,000 - 22,627.54 = 7,372.46 left to go
Combined with the curation I'm doing on Leo Finance, Leo Voter has been rewarding me handsomely with dividend payments each and every day. One of the best delegation projects on the blockchain without a shadow of a doubt!!
I took a little dip into the SPT pool this past week as well!
1,000,000 - 515,858.37 = 484,141.70 left to go
Chipping away at my SPT goals and enjoying the curation I've been able to do on the Splintertalk front end!!
The 1UP journey continues as well...
100,000 - 62,750.33 = 37,249.67 left to go
One of the most rewarding parts of my 1UP journey has been to click on 'new' and find awesome posts on the front end. I'm not the largest account there by any stretch, but it does feel good to spread those tokens out to more creators!
Dollar Cost Average Into Hive Engine Projects
The grind continues, let's see how we did:
5 INDEX
5 WORKERBEE
1 LISTNERDS
And after this week's buys I'm at....
11,815 @he-index
5785 WORKERBEE
372 LISTNERDS
- A note about my LISTNERDS journey. I have decided to unstake about 50% of all the tokens I'm earning and reward List Nerds members with some contests and giveaways going forward. I'm still going to be buying tokens though each week, so this number will go up and down a lot!
100 Hive Per Day In Rewards
I expect this to go higher this week, just because of the price of Hive.
But no matter what the price is, I'll still show up every day...Create and curate :)
Let's see how we did:
36.78 Rewards from Creating
15.64 Rewards from Curating
13 Rewards from Misc.
Total rewards = 65.42 per day
A slight bump up from last week, and not as much as I thought. What's interesting is that my curation APR took a big jump, so I'm excited for that. It's sitting at 11.2% this week!
The grind continues...
Another 7 'ho-hum' days on the blockchain coming up...And I wouldn't change it for the world!

Honestly those are my two main reasons why I post my weekly goals update is to both keep me on track but also to show others what is possible and what I've been doing to hit those goals if something didn't work out or did work out. It allows me to do a quick snapshot and get things figured out.
I do have to say 1up is really kicking butt and it's something I just recently started to focus in a bit more on and put some goals to it.
List nerds I'm stacking away on. I think I'll double up both my CTP and Listnerds credits there (maybe 4x the list nerds credits as mine are a bit low) and just kick that thing into high gear. I'm only getting a few emails so far but I know more will come in.
Keep crushing it and stacking it 💪
Appreciate you sir!
Yeah even if someone gets it and starts stacking to hit 100 Hive Power....These posts will have been worth it. Because I know you remember what it was like here at the start....Seemed like a mountain to climb lol But slow and steady...It's been a blast!
Keep chipping away at it JON. Every step or post you write is one rung closer to your goals. Each day is a journey no matter how far you walk. Keep writing ,voting or whatever it is you do. Never give up.
Too stubborn to stop now :)
Setting goals is pretty great but what matters most is working towards achieving set goals. What we see most often is people who set goals but lack the discipline and zeal to accomplish them. It's great that you keep reminding yourself of your goals and that makes you get closer to accomplishment.
Likewise, my major Hive goal for this year is staying consistent in engaging. If I can do that then, I'll be the greatest achiever here. Secondly, I am poised on increasing my stakes in the second-layer.
So, the important thing is to keep showing up everyday regardless of whether you get upvoted as expected or not. The more you keep showing up, the more curators find you serious and the better your odds at getting their upvotes.

I didn't get any major upvotes for the first year or so being on hive. Every vote you get, I'm grateful for. But we need to produce and add value, with no expectation of rewards.
It's more better if a user just enjoys being on the platform and engaging. That way, your mind won't be fixed on the money alone. I guess upvotes will come when it will come!!!

Awesome. I am adding you to my list of people that I will look at when it comes to setting goals and achieving them.
I started the year with 313HP, sitting on 348HP now, my goal steps go up in 50's so 350HP was next with 400HP after that. 500HP is also a big milestone and gets me off that redfish status.
You could imagine how your 62 HP a day seems absolutely insane to me! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Look, I am actually onboarding and teaching people about Hive as we speak so I keep telling people that your first 10HP is the hardest to earn and they should want to get to 50HP as soon as possible.
However, you are in a completely different league!
Dare I dream of getting 1000HP? Or 10,000HP?
One step at a time... as you say... show up daily.
Oh wait... I was following you already! 🤣🤣🤣
Nevertheless, I am keeping an eye out for what you do more than ever now. Lol
Soooooo achievable! I mean, the biggest target I had when I first started was hitting 500 HP...And back then, Hive (steem) was around 5 bucks a token lol
And had next to nothing to my name, so that seemed like I would never reach it. But I just kept chipping away. 5 HP here, 10 HP there...It really starts to compound once you hit 500.
That's my theory too lol.
I mean, I see it put into practice with you and others at your level haha!
I do preach it, but I need to put in the work and actually reach it myself!
There is no doubt you will achieve your goal. You had a long journey since 2017, you know how platform works.
It's us now to get started.
It's been a crazy journey so far!
Your journey is quite amazing so far. I wonder where my account will be in a few years and I think I can at least double my account at least. However that would definitely require some consistency and there is no room to really slack off that much.

Nothing like a good kick in one's own butt!!
Excited to see how this goes!! your journey has always been interesting to me...oh and if you fall short on the 1UP part...Maybe I can help out XD...
But Glad to see you visiting and helping the new creators on the 1UP frontend... !1UP
Absolutely. Wanna see that 1UP token get distributed more, that really will help a community thrive down the road IMO. More tokens for all :)
You have received a 1UP from @spiritsurge!

I follow you on your incredible journey towards 150,000 HP. I see that you focus on several tokens that undoubtedly have a high value but I have a curiosity. What tokens are you selling to finance your growth?
Pretty much everything I don't stack...I sell BEE, just because I want more WORKERBEE lol. But I don't really earn that much in tokens I sell. So if I get 50 cents or a dollar in a few, I'll flip those into tokens I wanna stack.
You are right about persistence in the production of quality content.
The report shared in your article showed tokens that I have in the pool Diezel on TribalDex. Thank you for your continual support to bloggers on Hive in this journey.
Peace
Thanks for coming and adding to my blog as well. It's very much appreciated!
100 HIVE rewards a day sounds amazing, but what about HBD? As it mimics a stablecoin I think that should be part of the goals as it helps in troubled times. Any thoughts on that?
That's a good point. I mean, I am stacking that...And right now, it either gets thrown into savings or....Feeds my Splinterlands addiction LOL
Journey was overrated. I much preferred Styx, Kansas, and Boston. And kids today only know "Don't Stop Believin'" which was not even Journey's best song. !BEER
You need to stake more BEER (24 staked BEER allows you to call BEER one time per day)
Lights was their best song ;)
I really should start to do the same thing, as I find it hard at the moment to focus on my goals.
I'm very impressed by your journey and your constant focus to achieve your goals. Very big "Thumbs UP"!
👍
You will be blown away at what happens. Make a commitment to write down the goals you want to hit by the end of the year...And then every week track them. Crazy what you will be able to achieve!
Oh, I even blogged about what I want to achieve, but I didn't keep track after that. And that's what I should start. Also breaking it down in weekly parts to see soon enough if I'm doing well or not.
My Hive journey trundles along slowly and relatively steadily at the moment...
Now that college term has finished here in Japan I'm working on my primary affiliate marketing funnel and associated Wordpress blog, autoresponder series, squeeze pages,thank you pages and what have you. Spent most of today working on a new version of one of my freebie ebooks... This journey is more like a quest... but it is giving me a lot of fresh content to post on the blockchain over the next few days... One project supports another!
Keep up the good work!
An adventure even lol
Yeah man, it's a long road ahead but so worth every second of it!
This is what I've been doing since this year, first set my yearly goals, cut them into 12 parts for monthly review as well as weekly. Being on top of the weekly goals has given me a good understanding of how much I'd need to do to achieve them. So far it's been going good, only the HBD savings have been postponed as I want to reach my SPS goal first :) If would only look at my yearly goal, the journey would have possibly become a struggle as I wasn't on top of them from the start and falling behind made it too hard to catch up.
Another nice thing to be on top of the goals is the response as I've read a few times I inspired them to do the same and more people join this, so together we BUILD :)
Sweet! Will be looking forward to that..
Now it's time to prep my Hive goals post for tonight :) Have a good day!
Yeah I'll have a nice little chunk of LISTNERDS saved up ready to distribute to members!
It works right? Big plans for the year, broken down into chunks :)
As the old adage goes, "Success is not a destination, it's a journey". We don't just wake up one day to find we are successful. When we "plan our work and work our plan", therein lies our success. We get to choose what our targets are and how we want to reach them. Then, as we complete "another 7 ho-hum days", we begin to realize the successes as we see the progress we have made.
That's the trick...The boring stuff most people overlook. That's where the real progress is made!
Your Journey is amazing and a great example for those of us that would one day like to be full-time on hive.
My Journey has been amazing so far. I have learned a lot in the past 11 months, my business has grown so much, not just the business but my understanding of my business has also grown.
I have really ramped up my activity on Hive, so I cant wait to see where everyone is on their journey this time next year.
You are going to be blown away at where you will be in a year if you keep up the pace you are on...Keep crushing it man!
Thank you so very much. Coming from you that means a lot especially after I flaked out in the middle of last year. Rest assured I will keep crushing it 👍
The interesting part is when you look back and see the progress that you have made it is very reassuring that those daily activities and steps that you take are worth it. Keep setting the example for the rest of us to follow. It is very motivating to know that after a period of time of consistent effort, I too will be able to achieve the goals I establish along our journey on the hive platform.
!PIZZA
I have to laugh when I think back...People used to come to me and ask 'how did you make a living online' and it comes back to just that practice of...doing the little things, every day!
Some very ambitious goals as well as some very impressive progress. The power of showing up daily is pretty amazing.

It truly is...The 'simplest' game plan that's a lot easier to say than do!
Your journey is fantastic and how you support the community in Hive. I hope to be able to get a fraction of that over time and with the help of tools like Listnerds.
That's the best thing about Hive...The more value to put in every day, the more it rewards you!
Great job. Enjoy seeing you on your journey to an independant life filled with lots of wonderful people.
!PIZZA
Slow and steady! And being stubborn lol
Two months ago, I had 21 HP. Now I have 128 including both HIVE and HBD. My goal for this year is 700, so 572 more in the next 11 months.
And stay all day until late at night. Just kidding. ^_^
I will start with 0.1 ^_^
I don't know how I ended up with 57.42 1UP in my wallet. Perhaps, it came from you. Thanks anyway! ^_^
Seriously, just yesterday I had a conversation with savvyplayer and he called my attention to Hive tokens. Even after more or less 5 months in crypto space, this tokenization thing still puzzles me.
Looking into numbers and figures you gave, I could not avoid to reflect on my holdings. They are like a child's play: HP, 120; HBD, 8; LEO, 115; SPT, 500; and 1UP, 57.42, and curation APR is 2.8%.
Thanks for showing the long-term perspective. Sometimes I could not avoid thinking how long will it take to achieve financial freedom for someone with a $300 income per month supporting a family of 5? The best I can do is to set aside $10.00 every pay day, so that will be $20.00 per month for my crypto goals. With this rate, can a 50 plus year old Red Fish evolve into a Dolphin?
An excellent slogan!

You will be surprised at how it starts to compound. 1 HP turns into 2HP very quickly! The trick is to keep showing up, no matter what. And if 10 bucks is all you can put in, that's perfect! It'll grow!
Wow Jon, what an incredible "journey" you have encountered.
Appreciated sir, good to see you on Hive too!!
Keep tracking your journey
Nice! My problem is I have to pay bills with this stuff so allot of times it’s hard to keep stacking up. Plus I am finding a struggle on nailing down content that earns a decent amount. Like one week, rewards are good then the last 3 weeks have been garbage for the amount of work that goes into doing allot of this, especially videos. That’s allot of work for the rewards to be next to nothing. Although I know I have said before it’s not all about the rewards, but, it’s beginning to when you are trying to live on it and you can’t get a decent upvote to save your life… Yeah venting… it’s been a crappy couple of weeks for posting, at least for me. Even my curation as gone unappreciated, lol. Oh well I am just sick and whining, lol.
I eventually want to get to that place. Right now, our online businesses can help with the bills and stuff and for me, I wont power down anytime soon. Just cause I know how you can eventually live off the dividends you can earn daily.
Oh I don’t power down. And thus far the businesses are just barely paying for themselves so it is what it is I guess. But still trying to find a format that brings in consistent earnings has been difficult. Guess it’s back to the normal BS dollar earnings for a while. The run was fun while it lasted, gave me a nice taste of what I want, just have to find that secret sauce format that gets people going, cause apparently I haven’t found it yet like you and @taskmaster4450 have. One day… one day…
Wow, Another post I found through ListNerds. This is becoming a habit.
Good job on your projects and Hive growth. Is there where we write "Go Bills" to be eligible for the 10 day cruise through the Caribbean?
Compounding is the key to Hive success (well all of live really). Those who understand this are able to take consistent action over a long period of time for massive results.
Oh Go Bills always gets a good upvote on a comment LOLOL
I really like contests and giveaways, i will follow you on this "journey" 👀
!PIZZA
!ALIVE
@jongolson! You Are Alive so I just staked 0.1 $ALIVE to your account on behalf of @chapelle. (6/20)
The tip has been paid for by the We Are Alive Tribe through the earnings on @alive.chat, feel free to swing by our daily chat any time you want.
Appreciated!
that's awesome. Looking forward to the contests and giveaways for listnerds.
I do monthly goals keeping the yearly goals in mind. I do post my progress every friday - #myhivegoals
It's a process which i try to improve.
Yes, i came on this post via listnerds.
My journey on hive is just getting warmed up.
Giveaways are cool...Investing in oursevles is better. I think of giveaways and contests as bonuses! A special little reward for being active and showing how serious we are about this blockchain.
Awesome Jon, You have had an incredible "journey".
I love the way you "NEDIFY" things.
You're one of the guys here who showed me what's possible on hive even when you start with little hp so thank you for that.
I already started to engage every day with people and starting next week I'm gonna produce posts at least 3 times per week.
It's gonna be a long journey but an exciting one 😄
Keep being an example for a lot of us!
What an incredible journey. My own journey lags your by, well, probably years, but there is something so encouraging about trying to make this happen in HIVE. It is very nearly addictive, I think because the community is so creative and always creating ways to engage, invest, and earn. Whether you like poetry, movies, gaming, finance, sports, probably even the dreaded tulips (jk) there is a home for you in Hive. Every time I read a post about how someone is doing, it adds to my motivation, so thanks! In the words of Journey, don't stop believin'!
!PIZZA
Wow, dude! What an incredible journey! I wish I had that kind of HIVE like you! Congratulations for your achievements! They speak pretty good of your hard work and constancy!
I had nothing 4 years ago...Just keep showing up and adding value here, you will be amazed at what you can build!!
Thank you so much for those encouraging words, man!
How was your splinterlands performance? Which league you ended up?
I have been struggling to rank up but let's see in next season. :)
Gold 1 right now...Might try to make the push to Diamond 3....lol
Mate. your journey has been nothing short of inspirational. It's amazing what happens when you see the big picture, show up for work every day and hit the ground running with enthusiasm.
You're a great role model for sure.
Ho Hum? Not a chance
Thanks for these posts - they are very encouraging! And congrats on your progress!
Do you change your goals at all? Only on Hive/Blockchain new things/tokens seem to come along quite often - or are you pretty set on these specific ones?
It is always interesting to watch your weekly blog post on your journey on hive. Your account just grows and grows. Have a great week
It's an interesting breakdown that can help me on my "journey" on hive.
I try my best to show up everyday and do the needful anyway, I'm here for the long haul.

Thanks for sharing your goals
It is great taking this "journey"with you.
Have a blessed and successful week😎
Your journey is going great. I need to stop procrastinate and get my journey of the ground. I need to set some reachable goals and start taking action, which is my biggest problem.
