What is your excuse?
For the past 2 weeks, almost everyday I would introduce steemit to friends and strangers even uber or grab driver.
I would explain how steemit works and how it benefit many people. I notice the most thing that scare people away and the most frequent response is the following :
- I am no good at writing
- I don't know how to write
- I never blog before
- I am not very good with technology
- Is it legit
- It sound to good to be true
- Bitcoin is better
- Too much work to put in
- I Don't know what to write about
- Can like that meh?
I don't really blame them, when I was first introduce to steemit, it was indeed exciting... I recall Looking at their trending post and per post other people received upvote up to 500 to 1000 ... I was like wow.
So I tried posting a few... The introductory post was encouraging, but the rest was pretty, emm... Best that the photo below illustrate how I feel.
So, after so many tears, I did the biggest mistake, I stop trying, I stop building... And that is one of my greatest mistake I've made in steemit. I quit.
I see other people were still busy building, although I did withdraw a few, it was consider small amount.
There were then turn of events in our steemit journey, check out steem frenzy
Now, it's a different story, I began building, persevere and I begin to notice the huge different, with a better attitude and confidence in steemit, now it's a different story ... I see what is possible and the reality is now slowly turning to expectation.
For the past two weeks I been committing in creating better and better content, content that I hope has value to my reader. The result is rewarding. Slowly yet surely, I am improving.
How awesome is that. What excuse can I have for not building my blog and engage in steemit , I don't lose anything at all other than profiting.
So if there is lesson I wish to part in this post, is stop all the excuses, don't quit and steem on.
Have a positive week ahead folks. Cheers
