Every one of us has a mission and a vision. But in the end, the story often gets reduced to the paycheck we receive.

What really matters, though, is the inbetween the steps you take on the journey.

If you’ve ever heard @what3verman speak on @theyapgods Spaces, especially around education, you’ll know exactly what I mean.

The process matters.

It’s what determines whether your paycheck is a one-time win or part of something long-term and sustainable.

Take @ethos_network for example it might not look like much at first glance, but it’s genuine work. as well that OG badge next to my name? I don’t yap much about @0G_labs, but I’m paying close attention to what they’re building especially around AI. Neither I have to tell you about @BetakkumaAI ..

So focus on what you do in the inbetween. Don’t obsess over the destination. This is a process, a journey one that can teach you more than you expect.

If all you chase is the final paycheck, you’ll end up like that kid who went to school, learned how to study hard, saved money, and spent it all on vacations.

But you’ll never learn to save and buy assets, earn yield, or use those assets to take loans and minimize tax.

IYKYK. If not, NGMI.
