I have covered some topics that I run across and also that I have encountered and had some trouble with myself . I am opened to any topic and if you have any let me know . Everyone has to find what works for them . The thing that works for me not might not work for you . People all over this platform and others can tell you what they have done and were successful with it . But the reality of the success they have accomplished has so many factors that it's impossible to have a one shoe fits all (so to speak).
Examples would be , When . The timing that they performed the action that would have an impact . Who followed them or crossed paths with or who they followed . The content of their post and who it interest at the right time . Who if any mentors they have . Did they receive a Curie award or any other . All these thing come into play with a whole lot more .
There is a point that will get you over the hill where reward comes equal to or greater than the effort . I can only assume and that place in my opinion is somewhere between superuser Minnow and Dolphin . (1 MV-10 MV) . That's just a guess and will vary between individuals . Effort will always have a part in any reward .
I have a habit and it is part of my problem solving technique . As a result I break things down into their simplest form . In another words I look at what steps do I need to achieve to getting over the hill problem of effort and reward return . The first step is to get to 500 SP . Without that everything stops . Now the question or problem is no longer reaching the problem of effort and reward return . It becomes How do I reach 500 SP . Then it is broken down further and eliminates the big problem into manageable issues .
Not that Getting to 500 SP is not easy . It is in My opinion the hardest thing to achieve here on Steemit . But once that door opens it opens so many other doors to success . The question is for the most part the biggest you will face to make it happen .
I look at it as a competition . As more and more people enter the platform the harder and harder it will become . There are only so many votes to be cast . The number of posts will increase giving your posts more and more competition to compete for the same votes . The people with the votes will have more and more posts and comments to choose from . This is a good time to be involved in Steemit . The opportunity is there . It will take work , consistency but most of all a commitment on yours and my part . I can tell you one thing for sure . In two years I will not have to make the statement " I should have ".
I just had a brief discussion on how I like Eeyore earlier .
Attitude is very important . It can and does have an effect on our ability to progress even here on Steemit . In earlier post I addressed expectation . Having Goals that one cannot reach or extremely difficult ones can have an effect on one's attitude resulting in missed opportunities .
