Congrats man! My hive monthly salary just caught up with my work monthly salary. I'm thrilled, and a little bit shocked that it happened so fast...I mean it took 5 years, but the fork felt like a reset in a lot of ways.
I kind of like the work I'm doing now so I'll keep doing it even if I earn more at Hive, but now I feel comfortable to take breaks whenever I need them and to turn down the clients I don't want to work with. :-) I also can consider opening a music/art/cafe space and even buying a house if it keep moving in this direction. Things are looking up.
This is such a dramatic flip from just a few months ago.
You’re right when you say it felt like starting over with the fork. I’m glad I decided to stick with Hive. Clearly it was a wise decision for everyone who did so.
It’s nice to be able to juggle multiple ventures. Especially if you find happiness in all areas.
There was never any question for me. The amount of awesome people I meet here makes it impossible to leave.
