The point is; first attempts are the toughest and weirdest

First attempt are sometimes difficult for some people and very easy for some...

All fingers ain't equal, what someone might get at a try, you might try many times without getting it..

Relating to your story about joining this community, it was worse for me too because it was as if Jo one was seeing my post or they didn't even notice I'm part of them...

I drop a post and I won't even get a reply or comment for a week, I was trying my best to write well and also comment but It was as if I was not doing anything...

I felt really bad because I'm a kind of person that hate failing or seeing things not work out as planned..
I won't lie, I nearly gave up but something keep telling me to just keep doing what I was doing without expecting anything, only then will I be satisfied with any result that comes out...

People start businesses and abandon them halfway because of low turnout, or the difficulty that comes with settling down properly after establishing a new business, and the stress involved in advertising and proving to the public that your goods are more of quality.

This is so true and its always more difficult for them when someone close to them is doing same thing and succeeding, when your plans ain't going through, quitting shouldn't be the best option, just like you said "take another step"...

Now I enjoy every minute in this platform, and I post and comment without really putting my mind on payouts..

If it comes, cool, if it doesn't I still don't feel it...

Nothing good comes with comfort in the first attempt, it always stretches that individual to empower him for survival and personal growth.

This should be noted.. ✌️✌️
