We all know, this is gonna last for a bit longer. Anyone that tells you the bulls are around the corner... THEY F @CKIN WITCHU! Like everything in life that requires endurance, there are some steps that will solidify your will and stamina in the game 👇/2

First things first - You are what you make of yourself You have to start on building from within. Yes this is the best time to start building -projects, collections, brands, bags etc.- BUT dont fool yourself, you can't build shit without building yourself first... 👇/3

YOU are the FOUNDATION. Work on yourself and be honest. We all start from somewhere. NO ONE IS AN EXPERT ... not even your favorite clowns. Present yourself in the space as a work in progress and remember that if you dont pretend, everything comes easy and natural. 👇/4

Wake up like a champ. Yes it is THAT important. 'Do you even lift bro' yourself up.... every morning? You ve seen it, you know it! Everyone is here to make money, but when the market is dry the real fuel of the space becomes clear as day! And that is INSPIRATION mfer. 👇/5

You think all the GMing is for engagement? Sure, it helps with that! But 9/10 mfers, GMing 24/7 out there cause they try to start the day with the smiles that will keep them inspired for the rest of the day. So lift yourself up, say GM, be a champ 👇/6

Seek Knowledge. WEB3 will eventually be a ride for the whole planet. Most of the people out there will just sit and relax, having no clue what is going on, until everything around them, silently becomes web3... But you wont... cause you are here 👇/7

So what will take you on top of this game when adaptation comes? To be the smartest in the room. To do it - READ, READ, READ and then Read some more... Books, articles, newsletters, forums, DCs, Group chats, socials... are availliable for you to read and seek info.👇/8

And yeah I know, some of you already thought -Mfer I ain't gonna read all that! -Hell! I ain't even gonna read your long ass thread! But I have news! You already read a lot, you might as well keep doing it and give yourself a chance. 👇/9

Be careful tho. Not everything worths a read... And this takes us to the rule: Don't waste energy on people that aren't worth it. One of the greatest skill you need to develop is to read people. You can be a their utility but dont let them be your liability. 👇/10

Set the goals. The space is full of innovators, enterpreneurs and dreamers. It is easy to get distracted and let passion drive you away from your own goals. That happens more often when you dont set your goals to yourself from the start. 👇/11

Ask yourself everyday -Why am I here -Why am I doing the things I do -Where do I want to reach When you have solid answers you ll avoid the distractions. And HEY! If the answers lead you to actually share the same dreams and goals with someone else, that is fine too! 👇/12

Now to make these goals come true realise the bear plays against you for short term goals but it's your friend for the longterm. It takes out your competition and when the time comes you will already have established what is needed to achieve your goals during the bull. 👇/13

This means that most out there are getting tired right now. Their adrenaline is down They seek easy ways for dopamine They start getting lazy and lose the will of doing shit. So... you want endurence? -Do what other people aren't willing to do! 👇/14

During the bull market euphoria, waves after waves of people are willing to do almost everything. During the bear market, most people want to do the minimum. This is YOUR JACKPOT! 👇/15

Doing that will turn the right eyes on YOU. Appreciation and the feeling of achievment are a boost at any time. But the lack of competition, during times that nobody wants to do jackshit, means you will get more appreciated and you will probably achieve a lot more NOW! 👇/16

Put the work in but dont force it. You need to strike a balance so you dont burn out. Things are already hard during the bear. Start with the notion that you can do anything you put your mind to but realize sometimes there is no solution to specific problems. 👇/17

Prioritize and work around things. It would be nice to do everything! But this space is running fast and you will often find yourself in a position where you ll have to skip stuff. Make sure you are not hurting your final goals. 👇/18

People can work with you but also against you. Remember this thread is about fortifying and building yourself first. Even if you dont want to play solo the game, still this is where you start in order to be a valuable asset for any team later! 👇/19

A lot of negativity and frustration comes and goes during these times. Dont let anyone tell you that you cant do something. Never give them the satisfaction of saying you gave up. Dont stress over things you can't change. 👇/20

If you gain control over all these the last part comes automatically. And that ultimately is: -Dont do stuff for attention. Do stuff for yourself. Seaking attention aimlessly will just turn you in to a clown. Do all of the above and attention will align with your goals. 👇/21

My best advice? 💯👇 Be obsessed with your dreams. Be focused on your goals. Be dedicated to your work. Be relentless to your efforts. Be the best of you! And I 'll BE here to 'bear' witness... Thank you for reading🙏.

I may also do one for what comes next. Which is community building and working along with others in the space... Or maybe I will not... who knows 😅
