Do I Treat Splinterlands Like A Business or Game

Sorry But This Is True

My intention was to treat Splinterlands like a business and make some money while enjoying the gameplay. My biggest mistake was while I was getting to know the game, becoming emotionally invested.

Emotions have no place in business. Decisions need to be based on past performance versus future costs. This must be a logical process. The other big mistake I made was not tracking my spending. I really made some work for myself by not taking a few minutes to write the transactions in Quickbooks or even a spreadsheet.

A business needs a steady stream of capital to operate. I have not been investing regularly in Splinterlands it is more sporadic. Ooh, we made some extra sales and have a little extra cash let's buy some Splinterlands cards.

As You Can See...

I broke all three rules of how to treat something like a business.

  1. Never Get Emotional
  2. Invest Regularly Weekly or Monthly
  3. Track All Funds Incoming & Out-Going

Those are foundational rules to being successful in business. Unfortunately, I was swept up through the gameplay and lore of the cards.

Do not worry because the situation is fixable. I just need to exert a little effort. Keep in mind it does not involve anything that is difficult.

  1. Build BookKeeping For Splinterlands & Other Games
    A. This means going through and figuring out the date of start and money spent.
  2. Workout a Monthly Play to Earn Budget
  3. It Is Okay To Have Fun, Remember This Is A Business

Play To Earn Works

This is what I am being told. It is also what I hope to experience. I am pretty new to Play to Earn Gaming, and there is a lot to learn. On top of that, there are some new projects I would like to get involved in, plus I am trying to get a Hive Engine Witness Server online, plus my own publishing and engaging on Hive with two accounts.

By now everyone has heard of Listnerds, a Hive BlockChain Mailer that I am going to use in a creative way. The upgraded membership is full of value but needs a small monthly investment.

I have been trying to start playing this game for weeks now, I just need to get a bit caught up so I can make some room in the schedule to learn and start playing. I have read a lot about it and the game itself looks fascinating and fun.

I have never wanted to be one of those entrepreneurs that work all of the time and have no time to spend with friends and family. As a business owner, I do notice that I work a bit more than a person with a full-time job. I also make a bit more as well lol.

The goal is to start this awesome game by this weekend, but I have said that before. My problem is I spend much more of my time and effort on the biggest moneymakers so it usually takes me forever to try anything new.

Are You A Business Gamer?

That is the question that I am ending this article on. Please drop your answer before and if you have some tips even better

Sometimes getting emotionally invested in something actually ends up being a good thing especially when you are actually making forward progress.

Maybe other people don't measure success the same way you do.

I have seen a lot of people having a lot of success with this play to earn digital card game..

You never know you might have an amazing card coming in the next deck that is going to change your entire investment in the game.

Splinterlands is more of business to me and more of fun it is just amazing how it serves the same purpose. Remember that saying of doing what you love and getting paid for it? Splinterlands fits that description for me which is basically what I want.

The bottom line though is more about the investment!

Oh! Thank you for these informations. "Track All Funds Incoming & Out-Going" all I do in Splinterlands is rent all cards that I need without tracking how much it cost me and how much dec return. Probably revised that kind of thing from now on.
