@rip-youtube thank you very much for sharing your experience with us and thank you to @Liondani for the big upvote on your comment! In the first three years of my business online, I focused on getting what I wanted (money, followers, and respect) while mostly ignoring what I was contributing (helping others get what they wanted). I nearly went out of business and did nothing but lose money. As I faced going out of business, I asked what I would do if I knew my business was going to fail. The answer I got was "share everything I know for free." Within a year of this new way of thinking, not only was I still in business but I was making more money in a month than I had made in profit in the entire history of my business. After years of doing this it might look easy and the key is that I keep asking what I can do for YOU each day because when I help YOU, I will get back what I need to keep being here! When I ask "what do I need to give to Steem today" I get incredible post ideas that just come into my head with almost no effort. What looks like volume is a reflection of little resistance and struggle because I realize I am only here to help and whatever I get is a reflection of what I am giving!
