I think this is tangible.
I think ~$1m in revenue in 2024 is tangible.
If you’re not getting engagement on your posts, perhaps it is because showing up and just demanding that number go up doesnt achieve anything.
Your sense of expectation that OTHERS should be doing more; where does it come from? Were you promised something that wasnt delivered? Or is it just an expectation, but not an agreement?
From expectations vs agreements:
- Expectations are often unspoken, while agreements are usually explicit. When we have expectations, we don’t always communicate them to the other person and are often what we think someone should do or be. This can lead to misunderstandings and disappointment. Agreements, on the other hand, are made explicit. This means that both parties know what is expected of them and can hold each other accountable.
- Expectations can be unrealistic, often based on our hopes and dreams and set too high. While agreements are more realistic - based on what is possible and achievable and on what both parties are willing to do (boundaries anyone?!)
- When we have expectations, they can be one-sided and we often focus on what we want from the other person. This can lead to resentment and anger. Agreements, on the other hand, are usually mutual. This means that both parties are making promises and commitments to each other.
IMO We need to turn more of these expectations into agreements..
To do that, we need more gov proposals that create agreements about resources, their uses, and how that impacts GTC. Doing the work is weaving the path forward, making intros to help, listening and reading and understanding,and providing feedback.. This is doing the work of turning around the DAO.
Just driveby posting demanding that number go up IS NOT doing the work.
Here are some posts you could engage with if you want to move from expectations to agreements and get answers to your questions.
I want Gitcoin to be successful too. Thats why you see me engaging on these posts (and prettymuch every post on Gitcoin’s path to success here 2021-2025, with the exception of my formal 15-month disaffiliation w the project around 2023).
