In order to become the 1% you must do what the other 99% won't

Out of 100 people who love books there are probably 99 people who love reading books while there is only 1 writer in the group. So if you want to be part of the 1%, instead of just reading books you should be writing books. Instead of playing computer games, you should be creating games. Instead of buying things you should be selling things. Out of 100 music lovers there are probably 99 listeners and just one musician. So instead of only listening to music you should be making music.

What 99% of the people in this world do is consume. What the other 1% do is create.

The defining factor of how you are going to be part of the one percent is that you are a creator more than you are a consumer. There are enough consumers in the world, the world doesn't need more of them.

If you want to have a mental shift, the next time you are browsing Steemit.com looking for a blog post to read or a video to watch, you should be thinking about how can I write more blog posts or how can I create more videos. You use the blog posts you read and the videos you watch to learn more and for inspiration, but eventually you have to create something yourself. Only consume the things that help you produce.

What if you created as much as you consumed?

If you really want to be different and you want to escape the rat race that most people live in, you should start thinking about how the 1% of the population actually acts. These people have a different mindset than the 99%.
So begin to make plans on how to create more than you consume. That might be difficult to do, because here in the west we are so trained to consume a lot. But if you want to be succesful, wealthy and happy, I believe that just being more creative and being more of a creator than a consumer is much more beneficial. I believe this helps you to move towards the 1%. Good luck!

Good topic, is true that sometime is easily to consume, so if we are lazy (I totally am by default ;D) we probably tend to consume than create and it simply remains no time to create! However, even if we reach the goal to create, we need to consume to do it! Consume is part of the path to learn how to produce, and as we know we never stop to learn, but it shouldn't overtake creating! Thanks very good content

Yah true

Good post! I think everyone can do it, if you go for it. It is a change in mindset and don't have anything to do with talent. Everyone can find something where he or she is good enough in to be the 1% / creator. Mindset is all.

When we open our our minds to new ideas, we can create new possibilities. Love that. Kind of reminds me of this quote:

"When you change the way you look at things the things you look at change." -Wayne Dyer

Great post. I totally agree. Thanks for everything you create. If a person is not good at creating, they should keep practicing until they are good. I am probably in the practicing category but I am doing what I can.

great food for mind. Climb the ladder

All right, What would the 1% do differently if the 99% followed everything they did? I've got my own ideas, but I want to know what you (the experienced) thinks... What's the best advice you could give a newb to Steemit starting from scratch? Your opinion is highly respected. - Thanks

Even creators have to consume. But good post.

Great work man!

I totally agree! I would expand on what you wrote.. however, you already covered it all LOL

Resteemed and followed

@penguinpablo
After reading your post and the content. I thought to myself. Maybe if I reply to his instructions, that could be a first step in my doing something, rather than just sitting. I am not so sure how valuable this is, but hey, I tried. lol
To start a journey, the first step must be taken. I will count this as my first step to encourage myself to be one of the creators, not a total consumer.
Thank you

Francis

Wat is Steen?

This post is pretty much the mantra for my whole life! Ever since I wrote my first poem in primary school and moved my violin teacher to write music for it, I realized what a superpower being a creator can be! That is what lead me to being a homesteader as well because I can create the life I want to live. This post really hit home, thank you🌻 Resteemed

@penguinpablo, you just showed that you are a part of 1℅, the creator. I happen to go to steemnow site to check my balance voting power percentage and this blog headline there instantly grabbed my attention. I am yet to check my voting power percentage and here I am reading your blog and completely agreeing with you and feeling immensely happy that I did the right thing to come here to read this blog.

You created something that no other steemian has and that's creating more value for you 😊

I need to get rid of 99℅ attitude and get into the 1℅ mode soon. That's where the treasure lies ☺️
