Its been a while but today we celebrate this ship reaching another follower's milestone 27/01/2018 to those who have just followed and stuck with me on here I want to thank you for this large yet now very special number of over 1500 followers! Just wow!

Oh my gosh what a challenge! So its been just under a month now since I gave myself the challenge to gain another 250 new followers as is what's required of the next followers badge.

Going up in 50s was getting dare I saw it...? a little too easy so was in-away relieved that the next challenge was 250 followers.
So the first time I took on this challenge it took me a little over a month but definitely a worthy goal for a minnow like me.
The following challenge was to reach 1500 followers which we have now achieved the goal was to try and get them faster then the previous month by mostly just putting out good content and wow we managed it we got 250 new followers which is nearly 2 weeks earlier then the previous 250 challenge wow!

I feel this is at a great time being only the first month of a bran new year what a great way to kick start my journey towards a Dolphin badge there are still many steps to take but we are getting closer remember this means higher rewards for many of you. So lets get moving.

But it is really awesome to see such a large number this means Steemit.com is growing at a fast rate the numbers must be really growing fast as I am getting followers coming in fast.

I am also definitely looking forward now to the next challenge which is trying to reach 1,750 followers, so far I have been celebrating mostly in 50's which has been on average taking me around 8 days which is just over a week to acquire.
Now we are setting ourselves for a worthy challenge going for a completely different ball game of 250 more followers each badge, but I do feel its already getting easier perhaps its just because of the rapid Steemit.com growth.

Right then now 250 more yes we have done this before but can we do it again even faster?

But Hey Listen!

I am glad that you have decided to join me on this crazy adventure we call life... or is it Steemit? Anyway there are obviously benefits to joining as the more power you can help me gain the more I can give back to those of you who are loyal and active meaning we can all grow together.

You see I haven't powered down once yet since I started here on Steemit.com over a year ago now, and I like to give back to those who are helping me do this as I actually find Steemit.com to be about giving.
And I think that giving back also feels great.

So please dont forget to upvote or comment regularly if you cant comment no worries at all, but atleast dont forget to upvote I notice those that do it alot as that is what will help us all grow as I like to give back to those who are supportive, but please be warned...

...Dont beg for upvotes or follows you will get flagged this is not only my rule but I speak for most steemians I think when I say this applies to all users.

In all honesty I am in no rush to gain more followers as most of them are asleep or atleast are when it comes to voting on my content but glad at one point you enjoyed my blog enough to have joined me.

But please.. not that I am complaining as I rather have folks who want to join and support me rather then those just looking for cheap follows but I thought it was worth mentioning my observations.

Another thing for all you followers who are asleep is you are literally leaving money on the table when I was starting out every $0.01 steem was important to me if you are new and active on my posts you could sometimes earn $0.04 steem I would of been over the moon the receive that back in the old days I keep growing in hopes of giving more out but I need your supprt.

All that I ask of those who are not voting on me is that you are atleast still actively continuing to vote on other posts, this is so we can all have the opportunity to grow.

Next we will look more at becoming a Dolphin, but lastly I dont want you to leave here without knowing that I really do appreciate you following me and for those true followers who are awake right now and reading this I thank you..oh and if you really are there then dont forget to...
