Usually I like to blog about things that are of interest to me, and I rather like achievements and goals. They help keep me motivated to push on to the next day, the next blog, the next trip to the store. Whatever needs to be done.

I tend to look down on the whole "Oh I reached this arbitrary number of followers so yay me" but I felt a real sense of kicking a goal with hitting 1000 followers and thought to hell with it, if I want to blog about hitting a goal I will.

Since coming onto this platform I have made many friends, @crimsonclad, @sircork, @stitchybitch, @em3, @eturnerx, @dayleeo, @spaingaroo, @negativer, @morodiene, @creativesoul, @sandzat, @gmuxx, @swelker101, @r0nd0n, @bulleth, @aggroed, @ausbitbank, @followbtcnews, @netuoso, @poeticsnake, @isaria, @uniwhisp, @rhondak, @artsygoddess, @tremendospercy, @nlizotte, @wandrnrose7, @soundwavesphoton, @juliakponsford, @overkillcoin, @misterakban and so many many more. I could go on for pages and pages here. But know that each and every one of the people I interact with on here are special to me in their own way.

I have gone from a fresh faced nooby in all the things, to actually having some understanding of the platform, making solid relationships that I hope will pass the test of time.

I have started the @msp-creativebot initiative which supports the amazing artists and writers of steemit and Minnowsupport Project which has just recently broke 10,000 steempower in delegations after just a month of operation. Another achievement I am very proud of. If you would like to get involved with the creativebot project there is further information available on the account itself, a manual approval process is required. But if you feel like supporting the project feel free to delegate via this link, http://mspdelegator.herokuapp.com/ or drop a comment below and we will have a chat.

Started up a weekly competition called the creative comp which looks to promote other artists and creators on steemit as well, sending them prizes on the weekly and hopefully cross promoting and assisting with curation of their content.

I became a member of @teamaustralia early on, thanks to @choogirl for pushing me to write my introduction post, I was rather nervous there and the gentle nudge did me good I think. And through the teamaustralia initiation process I came across MSP/PAL.

I have stepped up to moderate and support the MSP discord, putting in I don't even know how many hours each and every day to moderate the server, gently encouraging people not to upvote in the main channel, tracking down abusers, supporting people in a diverse range of topics from understanding the nuances of crypto and steemit and how to grow their networks, to finding their own niche/channel within the server itself. Supporting the project with my own delegations and doing a drive for delegations which has (to my knowledge) brought in about 15k steempower in delegates, each and every one of you is an amazing person and I thank you for your selfless contributions to the project.

I thank @aggroed and the MSP community for the trust put in me and the opportunity to show my support there, and hope that I have fulfilled any expectations and responsibilities in regards to the time I spend on there. If anyone would like to come and join in the fun, here is a link to the discord. https://discord.gg/yWn29K3

Special thanks to @malicered for the above picture.

I enjoy every moment of inspiration, empowerment and support given to one another on Steemit, this is such an amazing platform to empower your ability to interact and share with others. It has been a bit of a struggle for me at times to balance writing my blog with the curation and moderation within PALnet/MSP because I am driven to give to others more than I take back for myself. I just want to upvote all the things, help all the people, haha.

Another thing, I went and picked up ~1000SP as a celebration of reaching 1000 followers, bumping up my delegation to the creativebot, I want to empower my actions and the actions of the original artists and writers on here and having more sp available is definitely a way to achieve this. +1000 followers, +1000 SP, made sense to me.

Thanks to each and every one of you for taking the time to interact with me on here, I am not worthy of your attention but I am very very thankful for the moments you share with me.

Much love. <3

@sammosk I love the "rags to riches" aspect of your story. One thing that is key is gaining that understanding of the platform. You can't have whale success with plankton strategies! Great post, and good luck with the bot!

Thinking big is one step, actually going and putting in the effort is another, I see so many people come on here and think if I just write a blog I'll get somewhere, there are so many different ways to build networks. I can stress the importance of building a following before even writing content. Curate, Comment, then Create!!

I went about it wrong myself, and I'll be the first one to put my hand up and say well mistakes were made, now I encourage others to take the most effective route.

Thanks for taking the time to comment and support, much loves. <3

Success in a community has also to do with the number of people we can call friends. You have been very successful on that front too. Congratulations on both your achievements. ;)

Thank you for the support and kind words, you are a winner as well. <3

Nice work!!! I'm going for 1000 followers now too. Almost at 100 now :P upvoted !

Killing it!!! Keep up the good work. Thanks for taking the time to comment and support my humble efforts. Much love. <3

Help the other to grow. They make your grow. Liked your work at minnowsupport.

Congratulations for the 1000 followers milestone @sammosk. I had a question for you. Why you always appear with a sinlge pic of you having a cigar? I did not seen you changing profile pic in Discord too. May be am I new here?

Because that is the photo I am comfortable sharing, I'm a fairly private person and my anxiety prevents me from sharing too many photos.

Thanks for your support and taking the time to comment, much love. <3

Bud that is awesome. The amount of work and effort you have put into this platform since you arrived is phenomenal.

Congrats on 1000.

Thanks mate, much loves to you as well. <3

I also look forward to your Creative Competition on a regular basis! A great way to get seen and curated by others!!

Congrats man, it really is a great achievement. I thinks it was Kevin Kelly that said with 1000 true followers you can change the world.

I know you would change it for the better :)

Your support is encouraging, thanks a million!! <3

I think you do an INCREDIBLE job of balancing your curation/modding and keeping frequent with your content. Your multi-tasking skills are damn inspirational.
Congratulations on all the followers and success! You worked so hard and deserve all of it!
(Also, pass my gift on to a minnow in need)

Yeah it's super difficult sometimes, and I get a bit worn out from time to time, the only thing I can think of is to know when to say okay, that's enough giving it's time to work on me for a minute, something I stress whenever I see people pushing a bit hard for everyone else and not working on themselves so much.

Thanks for taking the time to comment and support stitchy, you are amazing, much love. <3

Congrats on the 1K! It's a milestone worth celebrating - esp. For all the hard work you do.

I thought twice about this one before submitting, I see much "Oh I reached this amount of follows" but this post is more about the journey over the goal. Thanks for taking the time to support and comment, you'll see your happy win soon. Much love. <3

congrats man
