Howdy Steemit!!!

in introduceyourself •  7 years ago 

My name is Dana, a virgin to the crypto world which has my complete attention! I’m super excited to have become a part of Steemit and I’m sooo looking forward to this journey! I am a mother of two wonderful boys who keep me on my toes, I work in the financial industry but my heart is in automotive! I recently graduated from automotive school and plan to open an all girls automotive shop! My youngest son who is 9 started expressing interest in technology when he was 6. He really wants to build his own app and build robots, so I need to learn as well so I can help my son through this wonderful world of technology.
Working in the financial industry you here quite a bit about crypto currencies and I won’t lie, I was skeptical at first but a visit to the hospital resulted in needing a x-Ray and the radiologist mentioned to his colleague to remind him to opt out of his 401k. Me being nosy and working with retirement accounts said you don’t want to do that. That comment changed the way I felt because the radiologist gave me the run down on the wonderful world of crypto currencies. So I did my research, then more research and well more, I cannot stop reading about it and now I’m a firm believer and even have my father getting involved. I’m still a little confused on a few things and when researching I stumbled upon Steemit, which I continue to read every day. I find Steemit very helpful. Again, I’m super excited to see what Steemit has to offer!5B24987F-475B-4F00-BC35-933BCE073182.jpeg

Greetings and Welcome to Steemit! I gave you a nice 40cent upvote to get you started!

Looks like you have the same problem there that I had with my car last year. Did you get it all sorted?

I have a few tips for you......:

  • find a community. Maybe join the @minnowsupport project. @kubbyelizabeth is awesome over there. She is all girl power and stuff. But she is very nice and levelheaded. A good person to Follow.

  • comment and follow other's articles for your first 1-4 months here more than you do your own posts. This will actually help you to gain Followers. And improve and refine your Posting style(by seeing other's good examples and bad examples).

  • don't plan to get rich. If you come for money, it will probably be a struggle.

  • it will still be a struggle when you are new.... for 2 or 3 months. As you meet more steemians and ask questions and figure things out, it will get easier.

  • only Post original work. Many new Steemians get into trouble when they copy and paste things from Google or from the internet, AND IT IS NOT their photo, writing or work. IF you can't post your own things, better not post. Otherwise @cheetah will get suspicious!

  • comment and make friends, but don't ask "Follow me" or "please Upvote me" Maybe after you have become friends... maybe. But never as your first, second or third comment to them. Never!

  • have fun!

I am a community volunteer. I try to stop SPAM and trash and things that hurt Steemit. IF you see anything like that, please feel free to let me know, I will look into it!

Thanks for the tips!! And I surely hope you didn’t have the same problem with your car, mine was totaled out by a underage drunk driver, who decided to drive down our dead end street @70 mph, wrong side of the road. He managed to total 3 cars and mine was one of them😭. I was dismantling the dashboard in the pic so I can put it in my replacement.

yeah....no. had to replace the wiring harness in the column. i was in that same position.

I probably shouldn't be saying this and all... but my friend that got me into Steemit... She calls Financial Advisors the Financial Liars. She told me that if a person doesn't have a networth in the millions, they are just getting prepackaged, 5 sizes(or one size) fits all, "buy our mutual fund/ invest in our 401K" advice. And it won't make you ready for economic downturns. And since they are blind believers in the Market, they won't see it coming or admit to pulling out of the market before a big hit happens.

So... I am happy to hear you are trying to get out and go into automotive. XD
