RE: 5 Uncomfortable Things That Made Me More Successful

in #life8 years ago (edited)

I can think of one that's highly relevant to Steemit:

Networking

Network intelligence is becoming more crucial than ever. Unfortunately if you're like me, networking is uncomfortable and doesn't come naturally. However it's becoming increasingly difficult to be successful these days without building out and nuturing strong networks.

In the not so distant past, we use to get all of our information from print or by word of mouth from those closest to us like immediate friends and family - if you wanted the number of a good plumber you looked in the phone book or called the neighbor.

A little more than a decade ago we started relying on new and advancing internet technologies to solve our problems - got a question? Google it! Want to hear the latest news? Head over to NYtimes.com

Now the internet is coming of age and we're developing fast, deep and powerful networks. Looking for a job? If you want to find your dream job you don't ask your best friend, look in the classifieds or go to Monster.com - instead you hit up LinkedIn or Facebook and start networking your ass off!

Network literacy is fundamental to being successful on Steemit too. If you're not interacting or contributing to the community you're going nowhere and progress as a whole is hindered. But by working together we can find and spread knowledge quicker than ever. Solve problems better and more efficient than ever. And as a result we're able to create a unique and vibrant ecosystem that's more powerful and valuable than the sum of it's parts. Steem on!

Sort:  

Yes, sometimes we don't even know what our neighbors are doing and who they are. Living in the digital age changes a lot. I must say though that Steemit so far was able to create a powerful community. People on the platform are really nice and there are no spammers or haters around! Thanks for your input!
