Today I want to say thank you to everyone that helped me and share the most valuable lessons that I learned from posting 200 days in a fucking row here on Steemit.
As you guys know I suffer from a burnout for a week now and the support & understanding I have gotten from you guys was a surprise to me at first. I didn't know I had so many friends here on Steemit.
I feel much better by the way, in 1-2 or to weeks I am back at 100% and I already feel my fire returning, but I won't make the same mistakes again (see lessons learned at the bottom of the article).
Let's start with the nice words about my friends.
@Hopehuggs: Thank you for your endless support in the form of talking, gifts, upvotes, and help with many many projects.
@Humanearl: Thank you for all the awesome discussions on Discord, the nice upvotes and the advice in hard times.
@Zakludick: Thank you for helping me with my blog by writing posts & thank you for the good times in the Berserker chat & your advice.
@CallmeFib3r: Thank you for always helping me creating next level graphics for Steemit and for helping me with my blog too!
@Booster916: Easily had the most hilarious times with you damn fuckboi here on Steemit & Discord.
@Teutonium: Smartest guy that I know here on Steemit. Thank you for helping me get to the next Bodybuilding level and offering epic perspectives.
@toddjsmith1979: I didn't think I will mention you here since we had a bad start. But we stay in contact regularly and its always a good lolz when you throw in your comments (keep them coming).
@d00k13: Thank you d00k13 for all the good conversations we had and for your support.
@Jist: Thank you for all the good conversations as well, for your gift & for the funny times in the DTube community chat.
@vanessahampton: Thank you too for the good & honest conversations we always have, your perspective is welcome.
Finally shoutout to all Minnow Support Saturday Contest winners (@Teutonium, @Vesnapv & @Emergehealthier). You guys are the most valuable players.

Most Valuable Lessons Learned
1. By creating honest content on a daily basis you create a loyal follower base and some of those will become your friends and strong supporters.
2. You can ask these people to work with you and like that actually build a little business. This will help you to get more time back after you have hustled hard to build a foundation.
3. After a while your body will hate you for constant hustle, that is why outsourcing to your audience is very important. I also highly recommend using the Pomodoro method to work! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique
4. Prioritize the tasks on your to-do list and look which tasks you can eliminate or outsource to gain more focus & time for yourself.
5. Be transparent & honest with your followers, if they see that you don't give a fuck about them you will never make it here on Steemit unless you have a fat wallet.
6. Nobody cares about image sources and they look like shit.
7. Focus on supporting your followers and friends and not other communities.
8. If you write something wrong people will be quick to correct you. Use that to your advantage if you are uncertain about something or simply ask.
And that's it for today my friends! Summer is returning and it is time to get a tan on my super white ass.

Thank you, Phil. It goes both ways, your advice and support mean a great deal to me too. Your honesty is always refreshing (like a cold shower sometimes) and you continue to inspire me every day.
Thank you Gliddy!
Happy to hear you're feeling better.
I have to say though, you are stronger and smarter than you give yourself credit.
It would have been sooooo easy to just give up and not do anything for a while. Instead, you persevered, kept publishing every day and stayed in touch with friends&followers.
In doing so, you became resourceful in finding ways to outsource as much as possible. And now you have MSS and guest bloggers once a week! Brilliant move!!!
When things got hard, you showed what you're made of. That's very impressive 👏👏👏
That is a great compliment & good feedback Vesna, thank you very much!
Steemit starts to be fun again.
Wow dude now that’s an article! Thank you for the recognition, and thank you for your support. I agree with pretty well everything you’re saying, transparency in my opinion is the best policy!
I’m glad you’re starting to feel better I was legitimately concerned for you, you know I struggle and I’ll always be there for you, even if you just want to vent!
Thank you bro!
Thank you @valorforfreedom. Your prolific writing streak has been an inspiration for me since the beginning.
And yeah, any time you make a super list like this I print the damn thing out and stick it to my wall by my PC. Good to glance there once in a while and check for something I have forgotten to do.
Can't wait to read your finished article and publish it on my blog.
My readers will love that article!
Sweet.
I will finish it tonight. Though it might be way past your bedtime. Gonna work late on the ship tonight.
Have a good day brother.
Thanks for the mention mate! You've also been one of my main inspirations when I decided to start taking steemit seriously and I'm glad that I can help you out. As of recently I haven't been too active but I'm working on a lot of steemit related stuff behind the scenes.
The summer is going to be great.
All Berserkers are hard hustlers.
Some history to clarify the importance of outsourcing & relaxation: After they (Berserkers) enraged they fell down completely exhausted for almost the whole day.
Image sources may look like shit, but they are a legal requirement unless they are in the public domain. I only use my own images and videos, and when occasionally I don't, I link directly to the source so they get the views and I don't have to cite the source as you would be watching the original and not a copy.
Thanks for your support of the folks around you, greetings!
I know, just don't use images from dipshit sources and you will be cool.
Thank you Mate, Our conversations keep me sane sometimes and as you well know you have helped me immensely with steemit and Dtube. I would not be any where near where I am now without your help. Are those lessons should be carved in stone and put at the top of mount steemit. Take it easy Buddy you have earned some time off.
100% Taking it easy mate.
Thank you Phil! Damn, i've never been called the smartest guy on anything haha! Your steemit friend's list is getting bigger and bigger by the day!! Hopefully, you will get to 100% and attack steemit like an American attacks McDonald's!!
Good trade right there... 15 big macs are worth xD
to make a post a day is hard work. and u are putting it a lot of effort to. everyone Ned a brake sometimes. gratz on 101 btw.
Thank you man.
200 days in a row is a freaking marathon! Good on you, though, you survived. Take care of yourself, and STEEM ON! :)
Thank you Katrina.
Thanks for the mention. I always describe you as fierce but I've got another one. You're a force.
Thank you Vanessa.
I told you get that tan on lol. Or spray paint your tan on haha.
Man every since you hopped on steemit you been one of the realest people I know. Much respect. Youve pushed me as well my friend
Thank you Earl!
In one week Mexicans will greet me with "Esé" because of my tan haha.
👍
Just voted for you as a witness.
(I thought I had done that last week already - but your name wasn't on my witness list thing.....?
Thank you very much!
Glad you are back on your feet. Just gotta keep moving forward.
Back to 100% soon!
Only@valorforfreedom Thanks for honestly sharing your experience. I like the work you put into it, like the UML (great Idea!).
is something i can't agree on. It's not about how it looks, it's for legal reasons. If you use somebody else's work you should mention the source else you are more likely to get into legal troubles.. and it's not much work after all.
I don't give a shit about the law.
I haven't agreed to it, It is written in a way that nobody understands it and it is just meant to control us.
It is a fucking virtual picture and nobody got is ass rekt.
Just don't "steal" from Huffingtonpost and you will be fine.
Ok if this is your attitude and decision it's fine with me.
Das wichtigste ist, dass du die Entscheidung bewusst triffst und die Verantwortung/Konsequenzen im Falle des Falles dann auch wie ein Mann trägst. Dann ist cool.
Nothing dramatic will happen.
I think it relies on how successful you become. If you become a whale one day, which i see good chances for. If you are rich (to others), and people notice, they are more likely to sue you because they smell money.
The problem is they can even sue you for posts you did in the beginning.
I will not adapt this point for me, but let's focus on what's important:
Your other points are really valuable. For me especially point 3. and 4.
That's why I send you 1 SBD to honor this post, which may not be much to you but much to me.@valorforfreedom
Thanks buddy! All support is appreciated! I haven't seen you on the Steem School Discord? You should pull up there because there you can talk without filters as savage as you want.
Thanks Buddy i will join one day! At the Moment I am very busy with my Umschulung und Prüfungen. I have to learn and go fully berserk. But i will join in the next two months.
CONGRATULATIONS TO you...wish you more success
I would write all these 8 tips down because they are worth a lot of $$$. 👍
great motivation post as always!... :^D
even tho we had different timeline cuz i'm from asia, I totally respect and admired your articles, you're motivated and inspire people to do stuff here on steemit, I'm proud that I was one of them, keep it up! I hope many people vote you as a witness, and keep on listening and learning to all your teachings not only here on steemit but also in life.
welcome! and congratulation my friend great post @valorforfreedom
