The learning curve is very steep to start with, that's an understatement for sure! You can only learn so much at a time and that's usually by asking questions from those who've been here a few months, discord can be handy for this or steemit.chat.

What keeps me going? The potential that Steem has in the new emerging world, as well as the benefits it has for all of us as creators growing as a community.

And.. to bring the last points together into something that's graspable and meaningful... take action every day. Live for the hustle.

Make sure you're always improving from your last piece.
