brendanbald.ethWhy Storytelling Turns NFT Owners From Short-Term Flippers To Long-Term Holders
Greed may have brought you into the NFT space, but storytelling will be the reason you stay.I’ve been eyeballs deep in NFTs for 15 months and I’ve seen my fair share. The majority of people enter the NFT space with one intent — to make money. And the best way to make quick money with NFTs is to flip them. Now, I’m not against making money. Money’s great. But it’s difficult for NFT projects to develop loyal communities if everyone wants to make a quick profit. So what’s an NFT project to do? T...

I’m a recovering attorney.
I took the LSATs, spent 3 years in law school, passed the bar exam, started working as an attorney, then quit 2 years later. It was the best decision of my life.
I wouldn’t have made the leap without the following skills.
This is the most important skill of all.
We oftentimes wear a metaphorical cloak that’s representative of the person we think we should be. This leads us to follow motivations and goals that we THINK we should have. Self-awareness is ditching that cloak and revealing exactly who we are.
It’s the key to living a fulfilled life.
It’s impossible to not care what other people think.
We’re human after all. If people we love give us their opinion, it’s natural to have an emotional reaction. The key here is to not let those opinions affect the decisions we make.
We should value our own opinions over all else.
When I was considering quitting law, I was obsessed with what other people would think. Especially since I wanted to pursue the creative arts. I was worried that people might think I was crazy for making such a dramatic life change.
But because I had developed a strong sense of self-awareness, my own opinion was clear. And that was the opinion I valued over all else.
It was the catalyst for making the best decision of my life.
I’m convinced we all have an internal compass.
Our nervous system tells us if we’re making the right decision. The discomfort I felt in my body when I was a lawyer was my gut telling me I needed to make a change. It took me several years, but I finally trusted it.
And I haven’t looked back since.
