Thanks @humanearl for having minnows at heart. Most minnows find it difficult on steemit at 1st.

True. I have no problems helping at all. If all the big time Steemians did this then we could uplift hundreds of thousands of people on Steemit.

nice blog.keep it up.

@humanearl, Thanks for passing this message. I never knew of these before. I just hump in on the channel

Accelerating your career means moving farther and faster than other people in your same career track. You will only achieve this through:

1. Taking risks that your peers do not
2. Working with people who are among the best in your field
3. Working for a company that is growing so fast that you gain access to opportunities that would otherwise never be available

If you look at all the most successful people you know or have read about, you will find a few striking patterns.

First you'll notice that you MUST take risks to get ahead. The road less traveled is by definition the only road that will allow you to get ahead because getting ahead means doing things differently. Go for big successes or big failures. Anything in between doesn't stand out. The worst thing you can be in your career is invisible.

Second, you'll notice that the people who accomplish a lot ALWAYS surrounded themselves with exceptional people smarter than themselves. From Steve Jobs to Gandhi, they were able to recognize, attract, and retain great people.

Lastly, the type of product, company, and industry you are working in will heavily influence your future opportunities. Tech is a great place to be no matter what your skill set is.
To borrow a quote from Eric Schmidt to Sheryl Sandberg, "Get on a rocket ship. When companies are growing quickly and they are having a lot of impact, careers take care of themselves. And when companies aren’t growing quickly or their missions don’t matter as much, that’s when stagnation and politics come in. If you’re offered a seat on a rocket ship, don’t ask what seat. Just get on."

Risks are very key I agree. Man this is packed with powerful stuff. Thanks for this!

He sure is doing a great job for the new users and many are getting benefited from it that is indeed the true spirit !

Thank you Rehan!

Right on.

Woah.. This is very useful intel... I've been struggling with how to use dsound for a while.. I'll visit the site now, looks like i've missed a lot already.. But i'll catch up. Thanks @humanearl, for all the help you're always readily willing to provide. For people like you, everyone wins, so no competition, we build bridges.... That's golden!

Yes!! Building bridges. Competition comes from having a scarcity mindset. I strive to have a mindset of abundance. I know God will provide for me as I provide for others.

Woah! Now these are great wise words. I won't stop learning from you, Lol... Atta boss!

You went all in on that post, thank you very much mate!
You held your word to promote Steemschool and that shows everyone here what kind of man you are.

I owe you for this one, art of reciprocity, you know how it works.

As I said. It came later than expected but I delivered the goods brother. Keep busting your tail to help people rise up.

Thank you very much for the information, as a beginner, it will be very useful! My main problem is that I do not know what to write about and what to interest people.

Great. He also has info about that too.

Check this one out. http://www.steemschool.net/steem-school-episode-15-get-excellent-ideas-videos-posts-podcasts-interviews/

@humanearl - excellent post and information about @valorforfreedom. What he is doing with SteemSchool is making a difference & allowing newbies to progress from knowing nothing about Steemit and going on to build a real presence in the community.

Highly Recommend @valorforfreedom - AKA Philip's SteemSchool, he truly tells it like it is, and does not pull any punches. 5-Star information delivered via his content. Followed, Upvoted & Resteemed!

Thank you for the nice words W4G!

@wealth4good Perfect. I should've gotten you to write this post haha.

Very good information @humanearl, this is very useful for everyone, especially for those who just joined in steemit. This is a new knowledge for all of us. I see from the last few months very many people join steemit, and very many people do not understand with steemit. But with articles like you write this is very helpful to us all.

I will also learn about the SteemSchool you share. Because I have not understood this. Thank you for sharing this very helpful information, and hopefully you will be more successful to work ... :)

So many join and just have no clue what to do or where to go. I wanted to give people info on how to get help on Steemit.

you should also check out my FREE videos over on @teamvideo -- i've got a stack of stuff there and i've also got a steem course on udemy and skillshare! :)

also find me on youtube! :)

This is what I need.. I 've been on Steemit for a short time, and It is very difficult. I've never in my life watched more YouTube videos trying to just wrap my head around this. I have heard about the SteemSchool and I even popped in Discord but, i can't seem to figure out how that works.. lol .. Thank you for sharing this info.. I am studying this and I bookmarked steem school. I am determined to make it here.. I will just keep swimming upstream..lol Followed, upvoted, and resteemed

You can ask anything on the Discord server PickyVicki and I will give you an answer asap.

Thank you @valorforfreemom. I do have a question.. I am just getting a new laptop up and goin for Steemit. Do I download the Discord app or just use the websit? I find discord a bit confusing.. very odd.. This comment was not here last night.. somehow I must of missed it. sorry so late answering back

I recommend to install Discord on your laptop instead of using it via the browser.
The Discord offline software is reliable and got fewer bugs.

Good to know.. Thanks for your help.. I'm hoping I can get on and figure it how..lol I will make that my mission to get in there soon and poke around more.

Oh.. This is exactly what I need.. Thank you for going out of your way for me...

No problem, I enjoy helping.

Ok.. So I downloaded the app on my computer. I was invited to discord by minnow buster a while back.. How do I find Steem School in there. I can get in to steem school through your invite.. but when I try to claim that account it tells me account is this account is being used or something to that nature. Thank you for your patience with me

@pickyvicki Glad you got in touch with Phil. He is very passionate about helping people to get better. It is hard work but it is not impossible. Thanks for commenting.

Yes, I am too... You guys are great thanks for all your help.. I've been so busy with work.. I have not had much Steemit time.. Steemit is hard.. But nothing in life is easy. And I will keep pecking at it till I get it right..lol

Very good and informative blog. Steemitschool @valorforfreedom is excellent intiviative for better future of newly steamians.

Indeed Imran! I created SteemSchool to help new Steemians.

Like I said Phil knows his stuff

we need to get started from the first day if someone don't have any knowledge about this platform at first they need to spend at least two minimum days to begin with but once that is done no way of stopping keep going :)

You are so right. It is a big learning curve at first.

Im honoring his enthusiasm for success, but this guy has droped me like a hot potato.

I tend to do that with toxic people, we can talk about it on Discord if you want to.

Ich bin nicht bereit für deine Energie. Aber ich bewundere sie!

Alles Gute!

Dir auch Bronko.

Phil has some amazing content to help you out if you are interested.

> Also I've committed to financially helping newcomers and minnows through the use of my SteemPower. However I am only one man although I wish I had unlimited energy and unlimited resources to help tons more people.

I believe this, knowing how helpful you have been to me and many other minnows out there. I hope you still remember when I was still having 29reputation score. Your upvotes also helped in bringing me to this stage. Thks and I pray more strenghth is given to you. Keep up the good work.

What are some areas you want to grow in?

• There are many areas I wish to grow in, but right now, I want to grow in my steem power. Thats my utmost priority right now.

Peace be to u man!✌

Good for wanting to grow in SP. Keep putting in the work and you can accomplish great things @happymichael!

Thanks man.. I hope so too

Oh hell yes, I'am also one of the confused when it's my first time on steemit. A lot of info's to take in. Good thing the waves are somehow a little bit settled now :)

That's the first I've heard of Steemschool. I'll have to check it out and recommend it to people I help bring on the platform.

Thanks @daveonarrival. Keep doing what your doing with your travel stuff.

Steem is such a big opportunity that no one wants to miss, specially me. I want to use the steem network in the best possible way.
For me Reputation is the most important number that I want to increase, not my account balance, at least for now. Accounts with high reputation are perceived to have high quality content, so some users don't even read articles posted by low reputation accounts, on the other hand, some up-vote posts from high reputation accounts without even reading the content.
Building a high reputation is like building trust with your readers, you don't get it for free. You have to earn it.
Quality is more important than quantity, so investing time in one post is better than wasting hours in a lot of posts.
You should aim for comments that add value, otherwise, there is no need to post them.
I will reply to users commenting on my posts, this will create a connection between me and my readers, Which will increase the chance of them following me.
There is no easy way around this, you have to work really hard to achieve your reputation goal. The reputation score depends on the up-votes you get both your posts and comments, so these are two areas where you have to invest time and mind power to increase your reputation score.
This is my plan, not a perfect one, but it's the plan that I think will work for me.

That's an interesting point about the reputation. Some people only vote high rep authors which is good for the authors but bad for others have also have quality things to share.

@humanearl,
Actually that would be a good news to all newbies! I could remember the first few weeks of mine! I didn't even know what should I do! It took me few months to get the clear picture! So, this is a very useful thing for all new joiners! Great post and great update friend!

Cheers~

Man at least you have learned much more since then. You will only get better with more time and practice.

@humanearl sir...
today. Just as far back as January 3rd, Steem was $8.16 USD and that was less than 3 months ago! We can return to these prices, in fact the secret is that Bitcoin controls the prices, and we all know Bitcoin is going to be more popular than steem, and people just end up buying Bitcoin due to its massive global HYPE campaign. And when Bitcoin goes up so does Steem no doubt 100%! We just have to wait and ride the WAVE of Bitcoin! There is almost no steem left for the liquid market and that's a great thing! No one is buying much steem yet but SOON there we be NO more steem left and the prices will go up up up up up ! This is going to end up at $20 steem SOMETIME in 2018 maybe not next week maybe not next month but sometime this year we will fly past our $8 previous high and zoom to the $20 level, and in 2019 I believe we can break the $100 level and by $2020 I DO believe Steem can hit $1000 and we will WISH we had saved up as many Steem tokens like they were Bitcoins! We have a SECOND chance here or no a THIRD chance! If we missed Bitcoin AND ethereum NOW is the time to get into STEEM! $100 Steem is NOT a fantasy! At max 21 million Bitcoins, there arent enough for every one of the 33 million of the world's millionaires to own one! And Steem at 250 Million tokens even in 10 years when we have closer to 400 million, that STILL isn't enough for everyone on the planet, mny people will have to settle for PARTS of a steem, which they already do with Bitcoin! Many today are happy to have just 0.1 Bitcoin since that is close to $1000 and that is a lot of money for most humans on the planet. So just keep stacking steem, yes everyone on steem today, the less than 900,000 users, they can ALL become the new ruling elite, we arent even 1 million users yet, so everyone on here NOW can end up being the millionaires of the future!
Happy steeming..

Man you have the right spirit. I believe we will see high steem prices too. I actually believe we will see at least 50$ steem by the end of this year. Let's buckle up for the ride.

I've just invested a little more in steem. Let's see what happens.
