Number of Users VS Steem Value - My Life & Steem Story

My mother always told me that a hungry man does not trust a man who is fed. Here we have two pages that have a different logic, users who write posts want their quality posts to be rewarded. Users who have a lot of Steem Power want the Steem value to grow. I have to say that I did not grow up in a rich family, that my country - Serbia had an embargo, that our monthly salary was less than $ 5. They experienced wars, bombing, people simply suffered, I lost a good part of my childhood, my youth as if I was missing a part of my life. In order to have food we did all the work, from hard physical work, we collected old newspapers, simply as the youngest with my two older brothers and my father we had to work for food. Several foreigners helped us, mostly preachers who were our guests in the house. I know that from an early age I decided that I did not want to work for a salary, for little money. I started trading, I progressed from year to year. In the 1990s, there was no blockchain technology, the Internet grew, Facebook did not exist. So I made my first company to sell health products, it went well for me for a few years, then it just all disappeared, some weird things happened when I started making $ 150,000 a month. I paid the penalties every week, there was no reason except in the eyes of the inspectors, they closed my production for 8 months, after which they apologized and said it was a mistake. But by then I was already in the minus of $ 200,000, it took me a few years to mentally get back into the game. Another detail that is very important to me, is the birth of my son in 2003 - @steemitwarrior, his mother @tatjanastan remained completely immobile during their pregnancy for 4 months. I didn't have money for medical examinations and studies then, everything was in God's hands. My wife @tatjanastan was always smiling, she told me "Goran" I am healthy, don't worry about me. My heart was breaking, my soul was crying, she gave me courage, she gave me the motivation to go further and create a successful company together with her. A few years ago we created a new brand, opened a new production, and started with a new strategy and energy. We created the brand Health Republic @healthrepublic, here in Macedonia and several other Balkan countries we became a brand. One day a friend of mine showed up and told me about digital currencies, so I started to wonder what a blockchain is and whether it’s a serious story. I had great success, I made a lot of money, then the moment came that I needed to learn English as if fate had led me to Steemit, my life had changed once again.

My first posts were a disaster, I didn't know English, I used (and still use) Google Translate, I even managed to get on the Black List as illiterate. I started writing, started the same, and connected with other successful users, I learned something new every day, it was important for me to understand the mechanism of success on the Steem blockchain.
Success came slowly, in a few months I managed to get my posts up to 200 sbd, it was a fantastic result because I didn't have Steeem Power. I created sales teams, I was involved in marketing and sales, I educated people, I wanted to contribute, to add value to the whole system, I was shown space and that is why I was rewarded. I opened the Steem Schools discord channel, I had great success, I invested in Steem Power to be able to support other users, I made Contests. I want to say with this post, to understand what it means when we have no money when we don’t eat anything for two days when my child has nothing to eat except bread every day. I want to tell all users that we need to grow up with success, earnings, money is energy, responsibility and it comes to the one who has a goal, who knows exactly what he will do, who has a plan, who is dedicated and who is not stingy.

These earnings that users have from the support of Steemit Team and @steemcurator01 and other steemcurators, booming, and other leaders, is something I could have dreamed of. Young people in my country can't even imagine what a $ 1,000 monthly salary is, and here many earn that much a week, and some of the users in a few days. I also understand what it means to raise Steem value and what it means to devalue it. I must tell you that both the poor and the rich man, in the beginning, work hard for their money. The difference is that the poor spend everything, and the rich save money until they get into a situation where money works for them. When we invest in Steem Power, we save money and raise Steem value at the same time. I know it’s hard, it’s not easy when we don’t have money in our pocket to save, but we have to try because success and wealth are a matter of habit and emotional maturity. I have chosen the path of success I am taking, you decide which side you want to go.

Only those who are persistent reach the goal.

It’s time for us all to become a powerful Steem team together, that’s what I believe in, that’s what we all need now.

Your future begins now, with your decision that Steem is a part of your life.
