RE: Making Choices in Life: How I Personally Broke Free from Being a Slave to Being my own Boss
Bravo to your courage to share this very personal story, and your hopes for the future. I'm in a very similar boat, trying to make ends meet as a freelancer. I found Steemit, and while I too have yet to see huge returns, I'm still convinced that there's room here for me to put in the work to create valuable content and be rewarded for it beyond what I get working for others (and not getting much credit for it). Resteeming!
I kind of wear my heart on my sleeve, never been to fearful to share my life with others. I been through a lot of ups and downs in life and kind of hope that maybe a little snippet of my past now and then could help others to know no matter how bad it gets its all in the attitude and how you roll with the punches. Personally though I am great, overcame that tough spot thankfully as far as not needing to return to that crappy job lol. Keep at it, you write really great stuff here and I suspect like a lot of us on Steemit it will just take off out of the blue for you. I will help you where I can, you just gotta come by though and tell me when to post something, I get so many emails now its hard to remind myself to swing by and resteem key peoples posts lol,..its literally starting to take off so much I seem to work overtime now lol. You will do great and we as a community will make sure you don't get left behind, that I can say for certain with this group here
If your experience working for yourself is anything like mine, then "working overtime" is par for the course, lol! For example, I'm currently at my desk typing out a transcript for my last video, to be posted to my website. It's 10:30 at night here! But it's all good. If we all hold each other up as a community, maybe we'll all find success!
You know my pain then, lol. I work like a madman, I was up last night till 2am I think working. When I helped out over at PIVX marketing for them I worked ever day for months from morning till midnight minimum and 7 days a week lol. I think though its less like work when you do it for yourself so you lose track of time because you are focused and enjoying it. So easier when you answer to yourself for once. I think I can make something of this, just got to keep writing different topics, not bore you guys and really work hard on that Steemit Blogger Central I created, that I think will do more for others than myself personally but I rather make friends by helping vs running around begging for followers lol...just isn't my way. I got you though, when you post that new one let me know and I will put it on there for you. I am about to call it a night here, I live in Florida and its almost midnight lol. But I will be here first things come tomorrow. Thank you for reading my little piece of life story, I promise I will try to share more personal stuff in the future, I view you guys as new found friendships so I think its only fair to let you all know who your friend Steve is
