Monday Motivation - Persistence Vs Consistency
Persistence and consistency work hand-in-hand in the school of hard work. Persistence can be said to be persevering or continuing and repeating behaviour, while consistency can be said to be a harmonious uniformity or agreement among other parts or things. Persistence gets you through the door, while consistency keeps you in the room.
I little example. This is my 13th day on Steemit, and it has been an interesting ride thus far. filled with a few high(s) and several lows. First off, my Introduceyourself post did okay, but I had such high expectations that saw me steady hitting the refresh button on my mobile web browser just to see how the post was performing.
In the end, the post did okay, but from then on, it has been a downward spiral. I have been fighting to beat the $3 threshold, I comment and upvote a bunch of posts daily in a bid to get more followers, increase my reputation score, and a better financial reward. All this I was doing sporadically, then I realised, I have been going about this wrong way. There is no structure to my Steeming.
Hence, I have been persistent, but never consistent. I have been persisting in an unharmonious way. Some days I write 1 or 2 blog posts and comment on a few articles, and then call it a day. Other days, I do close to nothing. We all know that consistency always wins in the end.
So I came up with a bit of structure. A daily routine that will act as my schedule. This, I hope will make my Steeming more consistent and rewarding.

Followed you @businessres
Definitely the way to go... I however restricted my posts to about 3 quality posts per week and the rest of the time, I go about commenting and curating other people's post... Helps build the community.. The faster people get the idea, the better steemit would be
Building the community is the key, we just have to make our contributions no matter how little it is.
Nice! I noticed that you joined recently so I'd like to offer you my welcome. This deserves an upvote and I hope you will some day do the same!
As a fresh steemian it can be hard to increase your steem power so you could give @MinnowPowerUp a go. This service lets you earn up to 30% more steem power than just powering up! It's a subscription based daily upvote bot that draws its power from a delegation pool. I made this post to explain the system in more depth and show how I earn over $1 a day in upvotes.
Thanks for the warm reception and the insight, will definitely give @minnowpowerup a go. Right after getting familiar with the concept
Nice goals
Thanks @sussan
