Steemit Untalented- Adjustments I have Made Since I joined Steemit

It has been an interesting journey. There were lots of bad days in terms of rewards on posts.My first post made $0.01 . It felt so bad that I called it quits for week until I received a phone call from @tj4real.He made me understand that it will take time and all I had to do was read and understand. Before I dive straight into this topic , let me use this opportunity to say a big thank you to @ackza. He has got our(#teamghana) backs like crazy and we will forever be indebted to you.

Who I am And Where I was Going

My name is Amankwah Amoako from Ghana. A student and a small time investor. I have lived most part of my life in a home that always made sure all the children had if nothing, the basics (food, clothing, shelter, education, character). But growing up, I often found myself questioning some of the things I was taught as a kid.

Things like “Always be satisfied with what you have”, “Go to school to get a secure job” and other stuff that honestly started to not make sense to me anymore. I started getting more confused when graduates from different universities complete their degree programs all to go back home and depend on their parents till they get JOBS. Deep down, I knew something was wrong. So, when it got to my turn to start my degree program which I am currently pursing at the UNIVERSITY OF ENERGY AND NATURAL RESOURCES, I made a promise to myself to complete school and not depend on my family for support as many are doing.
I started by researching on how make low yield investments. I found Treasury Bills and it sounded amazing to me. To me, if it had to take 20years to achieve GHS1 million , it would be a billion times better than working for someone and only earning daily bread. I was prepared to make that sacrifice and I am glad I did. Along the road, my friend @tj4real called me to introduce an MLM program that could help me reach my goals faster. I went for a meeting and got intrigued. It was through this program that I met @diahbally who is now a young and vibrant entrepreneur helping people in our community attain financial and health freedom using the power of GLUTATHIONE. I learnt a lot from him and other team members as well. Through this program, I got to read books such as “rich dad,poor dad” by Robert KIosaki , “think and grow rich” by Andrew Carnegie .

Now,I am going somewhere because if steemit

I am 212 days old on steemit today. As most of you can see on my post rewards, it was not like this in my first 3 months of active participation. It felt like a waste of time at some points but not giving up was the first and greatest reward I will ever get here. That and the relationships I have formed and will continue to form. I didn’t have much knowledge about cryptocurrencies. I first encountered BTC in the year 2014 where I ignored it as I believed the words of critics shouting out how people who had invested in them will lose their monies for nothing.

Today, I hold an account of 2000 steem power plus and the information, I have gotten from this platform has led me to bitconnect and also I have learnt a great deal about other cryptos such as ripple, EOS, cardano and a whole lot. I am now able to live my life with confidence as I know, I have embroided myself in a multi-billion-dollar industry which is heading for a trillion very soon. I have been inspired by the works of people like @ackza ,@starkerz , to create a community in my university where we would teach one another, the importance of financial empowerment and growth through steemit. To quote @tojukaka,

Cryptocurrencies have given we the average joes, a chance to do great things

Special thanks to @surpassinggoggle for again another opportunity for we the untalented bloggers to feel welcomed on this platform. I wish you long life sir. And to @ackza and @tytran, I say thanks you guys for believing and supporting us.
