What are those famous old sayings?

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results."


And


"You'll never get rich working for somebody else."


Being part of the blockchain for me is a combination of both of these sayings. Now I will probably never get rich from this anyway but it would be nice to have a small side income coming in every week too. That would be my hope in a few years. That the value of STEEM has risen to the point that I can earn $100 a week and make things comfortable for myself. I do have a job and it has a decent number at the top of the payslip but that is before it starts getting spent. The tax, pension, mortgage, loans, living expenses ect.... After these basics there is a couple of hundred euro left to get me to the end of the month. I'm sure a lot of people are in the same position.

That's why it is so important to find multiple sources of revenue as once you have already covered your base costs anything extra that you earn will go a lot further than your wages. I like to enjoy myself. I've been working since I was 14 so I'm used to putting in the hours and having a few euro to do the things that i like in my spare time. It's a good life style but not an ideal one. Even if i won the lotto I would still work as I would go crazy without it. The difference would be the job and the reasons why I turned up every day.

The dream after blowing the first million having fun would be to open an animal shelter and look after all those vulnerable creatures that can't do it for themselves. I already help out in one but they are so financially stretched and under pressure that it isn't half enough for the area it covers. The realistic dream without winning the lotto would be to have my own business. I work with another good guy that has been in my team for years and is a good friend as well. We have an idea to start our own business in the next few years and get out from under our current bosses.

We have already worked together for 8 years so we know that the team dynamic is good between us and we have the expertise to do it from various jobs held over the years so finance is the real barrier. We have made the decision this month to start putting savings in place and build up a fund to get a business off the ground. Unless we do something different in another 8 years we will still be in the exact same situation just with broken backs from the tough job that we work in. If we want a different result then we need to do something different.

I take the same approach to steemit. That is why I am constantly asking for new people to follow, new ideas and new followers. The more knowledge that we have the better decisions we can make. Every week on here I discover something new and can decide if i want to follow up on it or not. I've stated that I will make it to dolphin status within 12 months and I stand by that. To do it though I will need to do different things and put myself in good positions to gain STEEM. Every week there seems to be a new app or a new project so the blockchain is hopping in terms of development. The only questions are what do I enjoy doing and which do I think will be successful??

I want to grow my account and I want to see STEEM growing into a major force in the crypto world. Anybody who feels the same should let me know how you plan to do this? I want to exchange info and help. The more that we know the better we can do.
