Hey fellow Steemians! I'm here to improve my writing, meet new people, and share my passion for food, health, technology, and personal growth.

My goal is to inspire people to try new things, challenge the status quo, and pursue success — whatever that means to them.

So who am I? I'm Lisa, a 26 year old New Zealander, and I work from home where I write about, and sell, software to businesses. In my spare time, I'm working to start a UX company that specialises in blockchain technologies.

On a personal level, I'm a vegan foodie and fitness nut. I've been writing since a young age, and finished my first novel when I was 12. Before getting into the tech industry, I was a personal trainer and dabbled in bodybuilding. I love experimenting with things that make people uncomfortable, like waking up at 4am, having cold showers, eating a raw food diet, or fasting for hours, even days at a time.

I've felt a growing sense of urgency to write for myself, share my interests and ideas with the world, and connect with like-minded people. A friend told me about Steem a few days ago and now I'm hooked. Like everyone in the crypto arena, I'm chasing financial freedom, and I'm excited to explore the opportunities this platform has to offer.

Thanks for reading! I look forward to getting to know you all. :)

Thanks for the warm welcome, @arthestically!

There's so much to learn, but I'm excited to see what opportunities are available with Steem. It's always been a struggle for me to write daily, but I don't think I'm going to have that issue for much longer! :)

Thanks for your kind offer! If I have any questions, I'll be sure to DM you. ❤️

Welcome, I'll drop by for some tips. Vegan isn't really something I would like to try but I'll take a look at the other health options :)

Thank you! Your health will benefit by eating more plants regardless of animal intake, so that's the perspective I'll write from. I find it's a lot more productive than preaching absolute veganism. 🙂 I hope you find some value from my writing. ✌️

Thanks for the info @bitgeek! It's awesome to see how well my first post is doing. :)

Welcome Lisa. Kaizen is one of my favourite words and I actually applied it to change my life (I should really post that story).

I look forward to hearing more about your start up and also your bodybuilding. I am currently training to be a personal trainer, although my goals are more public health orientated.

With a book under your belt as 12, I think many of us could learn from you.

Thanks, @howmanymiles! I can see our interests align in a few areas. 🙂

I'd love to hear how you applied kaizen to halve your body weight – that level of success is so inspiring! Keep up the awesome work! 💪

Wow! Hello fellow Kiwi, whereabouts you at? Let me welcome you to steemit, I hope you enjoy this awesome community. Looking forward to reading more from you :)

By the way are you are day trading? :D

Whoop, Kiwis unite! I'm in Dunedin currently – thanks for the warm welcome from Auckland. 😀

I'm actually just about to explore day trading – so far I've been hodling BTC, XRP, LSK, and mining VTC. How about yourself?

Awesome! I daytrade and invest myself. I also mine by staking coins like PIVX. Good luck!

Every time I see a Kiwi I just expect to see some mention of rugby. So disappointed. ;)

Sorry to disappoint, @richhersey! Most of my fellow Kiwis are super obsessed with rugby, but I'm no longer one of them. 😃

You don't need to be obsessed. Just live, breathe, and die rugby. 😁

Welcome! Cold showers + fasting have been very successful experiments for me.

Thank you! Cold showers and fasting are 2 habits I could never live without, so I plan to write a lot about them in upcoming posts. I'm glad they've also been successful for you! :)
