What didn’t talk about is how most my friends at the time warned me against accepting the offer due to my lack of previous experience. They told me that I didn't know what I was signing up for, that I would soon find myself way over my head, and that eventually, I would fail.
But I didn’t listen to them, mainly because we have different perceptions of things. What I saw as exciting, new and challenging, others might have seen as a possibility of failure.

I am in that position right now as I am really trying to blog seriously and branch out to app building and a few other ideas. My mom especially doesn't understand how steem power is actually money. She thinks it kind of like a fairy tale. I've put a lot of time into this site in the month I have been here. I enjoy 99% of the people and love to use my talents and creativity to help.

I made an account relatively early on and have decided to make this like a job and treat it as such. There are so many potential uses that it is mind boggling what lays in store for steemit.
