CAN YOU SUCCEED IN YOUR STEEMIT JOURNEY JUST BY YOURSELF? BY @timi99

Succees is the achievement of set goals. We attain success when we map out goals, work towards them and see them realised through discipline, hardwork and consistency.

What is steemit success?

Success in steemit could mean different things to people. Steemit success could be measured based on what individual steemians have set out to achieve over a period of time. It could be to build a certain amount of steem power, to create and run a successful community, to become an influential steemian by consistently putting out quality and original content or even to amass a large followership on the platform.

Can you achieve it all by yourself without others?

Personally, my steemit success cannot be achieved without the help of others. I was introduced to the platform by a friend. On arrival, I was welcomed and guided by steem greeters who instructed me on how to go about my achievement tasks, as well as recommended communities and enlightened me on the benefits of joining them. They also sent me links to articles which contained the Newcomers' guide and steemit etiquette guide. These actions by the steem greeters were very essential as they aided my understanding of the rules and regulations of steemit. The steemit platform is quite complex and may be difficult to figure out by someone who's just using it for the first time. As a result of this, we all need to be put through the functions of each tab, the use of markdowns and how to effectively utilize the platform. Hence, the need to complete the achievement tasks, as they would help to broaden our understanding of these, as well as improve our writing skills.
The fact that steemit is based on communities is evidence that the platform is one that promotes growth through togetherness, as communities assist and encourage members in order to accomplish their individual goals. My steemit success can't possibly be achieved all by myself. I'd need the support and encouragement of communities who would help in putting my work out there by resteeming, commenting and upvoting my articles and other works.

Has anyone been so helpful in your steemit success?

Like I said earlier, I was introduced to steemit by a friend who has been so encouraging by commending my posts, advising me on things I could do to make subsequent posts better, notifying me whenever there are contests which would be of benefit to me, recommending and sharing my work with others and keeps on pushing me to be consistent in my writing. He also answers questions I might have as regards to anything that concerns steemit. That friend is @spyrex, please encourage him by voting, resteeming and commenting on his posts.

How can you receive more assistance to have more success in your steemit journey?

I can receive more assistance to achieve my steemit goals through the constant support of communities. One of my goals is to build my steem power, as this would enable my entry into certain academies whose prerequisite for entry is to possess a certain amount of SP. Communities can help me achieve this goal by organising more contests with steem power as rewards. Another goal of mine is to generate more post payouts and this can be achieved through the constant upvoting and recommendation of my posts.

How can you yourself assist others to succeed?

I can also be of assistance to others by giving out all the support that I wish for, by commenting on posts and encouraging new members who might be feeling discouraged. I can also support communities by joining their curation trails and donating to enable them pull together resources to build their respective communities.

I invite my friends @spyrex @nore21 @alphafx to participate in this contest

I thank @ugoenyi for creating this amazing topic which helps us reflect on our steemit journey thus far
