Steem Growth: My Steemit Goals - The Set Back And Achievement... Part2

Source

Hello friends,

It is a wonderful opportunity to appear before you all today.

Today is a bright day and I believe you are all doing great, and are actively following the ethics of steemit to attain a great height.

In my last post in this great community, I began a topic that was centered on my steemit goals, the challenges I encountered and how I overcame some of those challenges.

Although I did not finish the post which is why I am here today, please follow along as we shall discuss some of the challenges I encountered.

CHALLENGES I ENCOUNTERED ON STEEMIT

As the saying goes that the path to success is never smooth.
Although I won't say I am as successful on steemit as I would want to be, but I know that I have attained a reasonable height.

I encountered some challenges while climbing this ladder and some of the challenges are:

---

---

LACK OF CONSISTENT UPVOTES

---

---

One of the major Challenge that newbies face experience on steemit is lack of consistent upvote, and this can actually kill their zeal to continue making post.

When I was still a newbie on steemit, I got discouraged by the little or no votes I used to receive on the platform, sometimes I feel like giving up but I draw some strength from my friends on the platform then, and I decided to keep pushing.

Sometimes I wonder and ask myself if it was worth it because this was not what I was told before I agreed to join the platform, little did I know that I was missing out on some important things, which will be discussed as we progressed.

PEER PRESSURE

Yes, it is possible for peer pressure to affect one on steemit.

When I began my journey on steemit, I didn't start alone, I started with some set of friends and when our posts were not being voted, they powered down and left.

After they powered down, they pressured me to powerdown also, they said all sort of things just to get me to powerdown.

They went as far as asking that what if I were to wake up one-day and discovered that I cannot access my wallet again.

Despite all the pressure, I decided not to power down because I believe in the future of steemit.

I decided to change my circle of friends to those that have the same goal as I do on steemit and this motivated me to stay on the platform.

UNNECESSARY COMPARISON

Comparison is an habit that kills faster than anything on earth.

When you compare yourself to others, it tends to stunt your growth, make you depressed, make you feel like you aren't trying and then lead you to give up.

During my early days on steemit, I was caught up with this habit, I frequently compared myself to others, and this made me see hell.

It stunted my growth on steemit, until I learnt not to compare myself with others anymore, it was until then that I began to appreciate my efforts on the platform.

STEEMIT RULES

---

---

Another challenge I experienced was the change of steemit rules by the team.

During my early days on steemit, there was no rule as #clubstatus, so when it was introduced, I felt uncomfortable with it.

I didn't grab the Importance of the club status then and when it was made a necessity, I felt discouraged to make posts, until I encourage to endure the rules, and here I am today, I am happy that the rules was initiated, as it has helped me to save more and manage my expenses.

I appreciate the steemit team for the timely rules been initiated by them, as it has helped to stabilize steem economy and also increased our influence on steemit.

CONCLUSION

Indeed, to become successful you need to undergo some difficulties.

I am using this medium to encourage the newbies on the platform not to give up because of any difficulty they might encounter, it is just for a short period of time.
