Client in the Center .:. WorkerBee PH-Pool Week 227
First, I'd like to apologize for being absent for the last week or so. I've had my parents as guests at my home, and I've spent most of my time with them, leaving only a few minutes per day for online activities. They will stay an additional 10-11 days, which means that I will probably be (almost) inactive on HIVE! 😔 At least, this situation inspired me to write this post... 😀

Being an entrepreneur or running a business provides a wealth of experience with various aspects... For example, I don't have very good social skills, but I learned that the most important thing is to create a client-centric approach to running a business... The best advertising is word of mouth, and it spreads the best when you have "happy clients"! Of course, money can solve a lot of "negative" issues, but it takes part of your potential profit... So, being kind and polite toward your customers doesn't cost too much, but can pay off immensely!
I would like to share a few observations regarding this topic that can relate to some of you... For example, these last few weeks or so, I didn't have time to sit down and create more content, but I did take some time to come to HIVE, curate content from my friends, and drop a few comments... I know that some people want to publish posts every that, for any price, which is great... But, that can be a struggle (I was doing that), and many times, because pushing that so hard, we forget the point of creating that content! Are we creating it just for the sake of the content? Or for the sake of continuing our XX post-creation streak? Or for the sake of bragging, how we are better than people who create once per week, or once per month? Or are we creating content to ADD VALUE to others, to the platform? To raise discussion, to help others?
Put your readers first... They are your "clients"... They should be the biggest reason why you are creating content... If that's not the case, why are you doing it? What's the point? To get a couple of bucks and leave? I still believe that good deeds count, and doing good is paid triple in the future... It happened to me many times, and it's happening in the present too...
I would like to share the other side of the coin in this blog... The one when the "extreme" client-centric approach does more harm than use...
When you are running a business, or we can maybe stay in the HIVE circles, and let's say you are running a community, a curation project, or anything else where there are MORE people involved... You have additional curators, admins, moderators, etc, but still, you are the "main one in charge", you have the most responsibility for the initiative/project... As for everything said, you try to stay client-centric, as it is IMPORTANT to make that community a pleasant place, that app user-friendly, or your curation diversified, and that's fine... But... There is a trap...
Keeping the narrow focus on clients could distract you from nurturing your team! To show them appreciation for the work they are doing! It doesn't have to be in the form of a higher salary, but it can be in the form of nice words about their work, checking out their state of mind, offering a helping hand, even if they didn't ask for it... I made a mistake and lost some great people who were a big part of my life because of this...
Clients are important, but your fellow teammates are more important than anything!
Let's see the WorkerBee Pool numbers for this week...
This week, we have mined 92 BEE tokens in total!!! 15 tokens less than last time. 😔
We got a new delegator this week! Let's send a warm welcome to @cryptoreforma! Welcome to the WORKERBEE PH-Pool! We got new delegations from old members, too! Thanks guys! Appreciate your support!
This POOL doesn't have fees, and you get up to 20% MORE by delegating to it!
What about the bonus tokens?
Last week, I distributed some LEN tokens as a bonus reward, and this week I will give away some CTPSB tokens! What's the thing that these tokens have in common? Both are running under the @liotes umbrella after the acquisition of the CTPSB token, and both are relatively stable and indexed in HIVE, as they have mechanisms to help with that... In the case of the CTPSB token, it is directly backed up by the HivePower that is held on that account... As the HP grows, the token value slowly grows too...
There will be distributed 2 CTPSB tokens to the delegators of the pool as a bonus reward today!
As always, in the end, let's give the exact numbers for this week... 92 BEE tokens and 2 CTPSB tokens will be distributed as a bonus... The APR (without the bonus) was 6.405%, and when we added the bonus, it went up to 7.615%!
I have calculated the ROI approximately with medium prices for all tokens when creating this post... So, those numbers are valid if you bought WB and sold BEE tokens at the middle HiveEngine price...
Do you want to sponsor the PH-Pool with your tokens, receive a short SPONSORED segment in this post, and raise awareness about your front-end or dApp? Please let me know in the comment section, or contact me through Discord or Twitter, and we will find the best solution for both parties...
If you want to join the WorkerBee PH-Pool, the only thing that you have to do is to STAKE tokens to YOUR account and DELEGATE your staked WORKERBEE tokens to THIS account (@ph1102)! Every week, you will get your portion of mined BEE tokens and BONUS rewards!
.:. DO NOT STAKE TOKENS TO MY ACCOUNT!!! Just DELEGATE! .:.
All payments will be made after publishing this post...
If you have any questions, please leave them in the comment section!

keep up the good work
< br> keep your followers happy makes sense , becarefull in switching what kind of content you create you might lose followers in the progress. Also reblog only things that match your content and not everything you see be selective , or you might lose followers.

Very good advice! That works in both ways! When I began my content creation, I did a different topic, and made the mistake of forcing myself to create something that I didn't like... I switched topics to things that I currently do, but I suppose I paid the price of doing wrong before...
Anyways, it is what it is... The most important is to stay truthful to yourself... the rest will come...
!PIMP
!BBH
We are together🤝
Once again, thanks for joining! 🙏
Sometimes taking a break is good to renew our mind and then produce something new :)
Breaks are good, but I don't like to make too long breaks... And this one will be a bit longer than I would like... hehehehe 😃
I gotta say it's hard to forget about team mates when we are overwhelmed by clients and obligations tough
You mean it's EASY to forget about teammates? I know that I did that exactly on occasions that you described... When clients are pushing and asking for more attention, it's easy to forget about those who are struggling with us to make it through...
Yeah sorry I meant easy but I'm almost falling asleep and I typed hard 😂 brain and hands not working properly
I suspected you had an important visitor but I didn't imagine you would have so much! I'm so glad you're enjoying their company and I hope you'll continue to disappear for a while longer. 😁🤗
Tbh, I knew that I would have to dedicate 99% of my time to them, but I was hoping that it would be a bit less... lol... even 90% would be a lot different... hahahahah
Anyways, it is what it is... It's great that I can still hang around with my parents and that they are still with us... ;)
Speaking on this topic and being truthful about it, I would like to thank you for all that you are doing for Liotes and HIVE! You are an important part of the team and the community! 💜🍷🙏
Aww you know who is my example to follow. I’m so grateful for your support and especially for trust me to be part of Liotes. It is a big honour to me. 😘
Thanks for the update!
I agree with this approach in principle because all users of our social network are creators and consumers of the content. And you have to look after your team even more.
It's so easy to forget about our closest ones, especially when we encounter some big problems!
Life is going on like this, it's good that you have spent some time with your parents and I hope these moments will be memorable for you. And here is the truth that running a business is not easy, you have to manage everything and after making losses over time, we can learn the real things.
As Dantrin said in the comments, Family first!
Yeah.
Family first!
Exactly! Sometimes we forget about that!
I think such breaks are really great to recharge your creative energies and come back better! I think a client centric approach is the best way to grow a business, especially during the start. Because clients are the lever that can boost the business beyond one's immediate efforts.
I like that! Clients are the "long-term view" of the business, and thinking only about ourselves is a short-term view!
Right. Short term view never scales the business to the next level, forever stuck in the ground with barely break even margins :)
Thoughtful sharing! Haven't been writing much because life got busy too! Thanks for the update and tokens!
!LUV
Life happens! On one hand, I dislike big breaks, but on the other hand, we have to live in the moment and enjoy family time and friends.
I imagine that comments are still pouring in, and it's almost a day. Hahaha.
I think you should take that time and enjoy it with your parents. My family has been with me for almost a month now, and I've hardly stayed active the way I use to. Sometimes I wish they weren't here, and I'll have more time for online activities, but I guess these things happens once in a while
My parents live very far away and we meet only once per year for 2-3 weeks, so I can't complain about it... It would be better to have them near and to do "less intensive" meetups, but it is what it is...
I suppose you have a similar situation... We should be grateful that we have our family with us! 💜
I think its reasonable to spend some time away to enjoy time with your parents.
Thanks for running the pool and for the BEE/CTPSB tokens.
Yes, it is reasonable... Maybe a bit moderated time... 😂
And, you are welcome! 🙂
I just delegated some BEE
Thank you for your delegation, but this is about WORKERBEE delegations, not BEE delegations. It is stated in every post, and in bold. 😕
oh, my mistake. Let me correct that
The importance of family can never be overemphasized.
Great you're having pretty good company with your parents with you.
I bet you when they eventually leave, there's must certainly be a vaccum created.
Entrepreneurship requires real strength plus paying great attention to clients needs and taste.
Enjoy your day
Thank you very much for taking the time to check my content... It's always a struggle to create a good balance between family and work... ;)
