How are my fellow HIVERS doing today, this week?

Are you crushing it? Are you about to crush it?

Let's Gooooooooooo!!!

Yesterday, was bit of drag for me. I just had below average energy. I expect to be at 100 consistently, so one day being out of sync is not so bad. It was rest day, I slept longer than usual and felt out of sorts; because of it. I'm a very odd creature. Folks love to sleep, I've never been one of those people; but value the health benefits of it. If I can get extra shut eye, then it's on like Donkey Kong.

Today, I woke up as back to normal; as I can be. It was a badass workout under the Orange Lights and it was a Specialty template that will be fun to post about on my @actifit submission for the day - later this afternoon.

I did wake up with a few things I wanted to post about, but then sometimes I have so many things running through my head that I tend to slow up the process and then lose my train of thought.

So, I just go back to some old emails, I've saved the last few years; get ideas and whatnot, think of where I'm at in my journey; towards growing my personal brand, on-chain and off to get my mental shit together.

All this got me thinking.

Am I learning enough, am I reading enough and am I consuming enough content to become a better content creator?

Here's the thing, I personally believe that if I spend more time trying to learn things and read this and that, watch this and that, listen to this and that. I will get sucked into information overload syndrome.

Why do I believe that? BECAUSE it has happened to me more times than I can count. I've cut back on that shit a long time ago, but at what cost?

I mean, we already live on a planet that consumes content ad nauseum with all the platforms imaginable to feed that hunger for more analytics, controversy, data, entertainment, gossip and the list goes to infinity.

Don't get me wrong, I feel privileged to be alive to experience this obscene amount of access to so much information with a lot of it being sketchy, but we can make our own informed decisions on what we believe or not believe.

That is why I gravitated to a guy like Gary V., because the guy didn't come off as your typical guru. He is more about just create fu&ing content and don't f&ing worry about all the other bullshit. I love that he throws out constant F Bombs. That's the Brooklyn, New York in me.

Where it gets murky for me, is neglecting the part where you consume to learn and that without education; how can you convey content that is coherent?

Well, I countered that based off my personality, because in the end, I can only function based off my own experiences and there are 2 ways I live and die by, when it comes to my production, in life, work and online marketing for that matter.

Trial by error - you can try to teach me something until you are blue in the face and I will gradually tune out the shit, because I lose interest FAST.
#1 - I learn by my mistakes, not others and it's funny; because we love to tell the younger folks - hey learn from my mistakes. F*&k that! Learn from your own mistakes.

I hope that makes sense, but it's how I roll.

Truth be told, that attitude has helped and hurt me.

Here is the best part about my post and why it was a good sense of relief for me.

I hope to get some comments about your views on consuming or creating content and what you value more, but I can say; that becoming a HIVE community member - that I actually have increased how much I read, how much I learned, how much I want to learn something that interests me - even more.

Never and I mean never in my life, have I read so much stuff and actually want to. From beginning to end.

Some of the content on this blockchain has blown me away and the creativity of the folks in this community is mind boggling.

So they say, you can't teach old dog new tricks?

BY THE NUMBERS

My latest Lead Capture Page, where I'm not giving away free ads continues the slow pace with about a week left in March; but with that said - I have signed up 27:

My online marketing efforts off-chain continues to lag, but I have found some pockets of time to push through and get those subscribers:

Although, I'm still hanging by a thread at #1 on the ListNerds Richlist with @thisismylife and @beststart making me sweat to stay there; it looks like I may end the month still in first place; although with these 2 amazing people right behind me - 7 days is a LONG TIME left for them to overtake me and I'll probably, won't even smell first ever again after that 😆:

I have had a very consistently good month of March with my LISTNERDS mailings and just using the platform altogether - since we "are rewarded for sending, receiving and reading mails....Basically everything you do inside of the mailer, gets you rewarded!":

I've had a pretty good streak of claiming daily for most of this month and some of these are still going through the paces of perhaps hitting the 20 plus verification amount. There are about 4 or 5 that have gone over 20 or at 20, so those look promising.
