Finding your passion is key. I used to tell my kids they could accomplish anything once they set their mind to it. My daughter had figured that out, yet my son, he's still working on that.

The other thing I have told them it is hard work and perseverance that pays off. That is especially true here on Steemit. You have to get out there and comment, meet people, write posts. If it were easy, then EVERYONE would be a whale or a millionaire. Those that have the drive and determination to keep going even when things are slow are the ones that will survive.

I started with a base account. I have not added anything to my account. Due to commenting, posting, participating in contests I have grown (quite a bit in my opinion) I am almost at my 1st goal I set to for myself.

As I have been telling a lot of people lately ...do what makes your heart sing. So you have to be stuck at the 9-5 for a while, you could be suck on graveyards like I am 😜

Work on getting involved with groups like @greetersguild, @newbieresteemday and if you find you like commenting and helping others @pifc (Pay It Forward Contests). There are other groups like @welcomewagon, @minnowsupport and so forth. I have getting involved with the community at large has changed my view of the platform and is helping shape me in to the person I want to become. :)

If you ever need help or have questions please feel free to ask. You got this!!!
