Every one of us starts with a mission and a vision. But too often, the story ends up being defined by the paycheck we collect.

What truly matters, though, is the in-between — the steps you take on the journey.

If you’ve ever listened to @what3verman speak on @theyapgods Spaces, especially when it comes to education, you’ll know exactly what I mean.

The process is everything. It determines whether that paycheck is just a one-time win or part of something lasting and sustainable.

Take @ethos_network, for example. At first glance, it might seem simple — but behind it is real, meaningful work.

And see that OG badge next to my name? I don’t talk much about @0G_labs, but I’m definitely watching what they’re building, especially in AI.

And of course, there’s @BetakkumaAI — no explanation needed.

So focus on what you do in the in-between. Don’t obsess over the destination. The journey matters — and it can teach you more than you’d ever expect.

Because if all you're chasing is the final paycheck, you risk becoming like that kid who went to school, studied hard, saved money… and blew it all on vacations.

But you never learned how to buy assets, earn yield, leverage intelligently, or build lasting wealth.

If you know, you know.

If not — NGMI.
