Sometimes I think about the last few months in the Steemit community and I can not believe how much progress I have made in my professional life thanks to it. If back in December of last year someone would have told me that thanks to Steemit I would be a Community Manager for a serious company in Switzerland, would also be part of a great project as SmartSteem, meet great aliked minded friends like @felander who would ask me to help out setting up a crypto Association in Zug, ... and many more anecdotes (Check about @cryptoworldzug)
Well, I would have said "dream on", but it actually happened, many doors opened thanks to start blogging about my passion, finance and cryptos. There is a cliche phrase which says that to bring success to your life, you just need to do what you love the most.
I think that is the key element of my fast-paced story here in Steemit, from 0 to 100 in just a few months. I am not yet a Witness, I still have a lot of work to do, even more when talking about my Steemit followers, I have yet nor reached the 1000 mark. I have done it yes in Twitter, having a dormant account there, which I accidentally re-opened when Steem was on an outage of SP (yes, that annoying message of your Steem Bandwith is too low to post), now I have a small community of 1.7K following my Twitter @foxxrex account. Still, I can not compare to great people in the community with thousands of followers.
It seems like one year ago when I was wishing for a 0,01 STU up vote on one of my Posts, recently I have appeared many times in the Trending page and received really nice organic up votes. To out things in perspective, this happened just in December 2017, less than six months later it is a completely different story.
Yes, I will not lie, there is an investment part into it which is needed to make it a little faster, otherwise it would have taken forever.
When I accepted the role as Community Manager for Steemit for @smartcontainers I have not foreseen the many doors it would have opened. From meeting a great team of inventors, marketers and IT within the company to be next to important people from the Crypto Valley community in Switzerland (Zug).
People keep knocking on my door asking for help, and I will not say no until I have physically no more time to do it in a good fashion. But is like an addiction, Steemit made me realise that doing what you love the most is the most satisfying way of spending your time. Even though I do not make enough money to resign to my normal job, I am making a small side money which is giving me a foundation to maybe support other hobbies, reinvest into other crypto projects, etc. But, who knows, maybe sooner than later I will let you all know that I took the decision of being a full-time crypto entrepreneur or work for a Blockchain company in the Valley.
The way we live through this experience is completely different for each of us, not making any more or less valid. We all see success in a different way, and sometimes is enough to be happy with small accomplishments.
One of the last persons I have met while going down this path was @cryptorich a great Youtuber who is chasing the best stories on the crypto space and uploading great interviews and videos on his YouTube channel. He made an interview to Richard Ettl, Ceo of @SmartContainers, which I liked a lot, and while discussing about it on Telegram, he asked me if I was interested in doing an interview to further discuss about the ICO.
I said yes, just like I like to do, even when doubt and fear to make the ridiculous could be clouding my mind. As I love this Steem blockchain project I suggested him to start trying DTube and Steemit, which he accepted (now just waiting to have his account approved).
I hope you like our video, and please start following him on YouTube, and why not be ready to support him with many up votes when he joins our community.
Let's be honest, not all of us will make it to the top, but doing what you really like will eventually put you in a better circumstance than before. You may not be able to resign to that hated 9 to 5 office job, but at least it will be a new reason to wake up full of energy. I believe personally, that more than the money it could bring, the latter is the best reason to invest your time into Steemit. But, please do it only if you want to be part of a community, no place for lonely wolfs here, that's the truth. Even a successful guy like @therealwolf know that there is no working product without a team to support your endeavours.
Blockchain is bringing a new era for many people, from low income people in Africa making a living out of small up votes, to Whales making unthinkable passive income out of the platform, to poets, graphic artists, etc. There is room for everyone, just visualise it and work for it. Believe me, is possible.
It's being a while I do not write about my Steemit path, I have been quite busy, imagine my last post was eight days ago, and I do not want to pass three days without making a new post.
So, keep it up, head up and continue writing and improving your material over here. Most of all, do not forget to visualise where you want to be by being here, as the image above, your mind works as a huge magnet, calling to the Universe to work with you and make your goals come true.
