I sort of agree with the goals idea. I came here in very early January with the idea that I could network my way into a niche in the platform. I didn't come to make money, I'd been trying that on line for 10 years. I came to write with feedback. I've gotten a lot more.

For better or worse, my introduction post was reposted yesterday. Much to my surprise. https://steemit.com/adsactly/@adsactly/adsactly-on-adsactly-the-community-blogger-s-spotlight-bigtom13

I think business and business people need goals. I don't think they should live and die by them, and they ought to be ready to chuck the whole list in an instant, but it's good to have a plan. If for no other reason to see how far you have deviated from it in reality. :)

I do know that I started looking the day I arrived. I wanted to find the 'good writers' and hang as close to them and learn the ropes. I staggered into a few places, not the least of which was SteemEngine. Good writers writing good stuff and supporting one another.

I love it here. I am the master of my own ship, and can do as I see fit with it.

OK, I have gotten in my F. Scott Big Tom mode, but I do want to say one more thing here. For the block chain as it were.

I, and I'm sure many others, hope your destination isn't. I hope it's just a way point on the larger journey. I mean I hope you don't decide you are done in 20 days, I really want to see you go on. I always want to see what's on the other side of that hill. I hope you do too.
