Setting goals when it comes to getting more Steempower can be helpful.
It can help focus the mind and help you set targets.
Every-time I reach a goal I set a new target.
I make sure the targets are realistic but hard to reach.
My next target is 150k and it will take me around 290 days to get there under current circumstances.
It's a 24% increase.
And when I say realistic I mean it.
If you have a 1000SP a good goal should be 1250SP and not 50k (unless you are bursting with fiat).
But don't let that demotivated you.
Remember.....that person that managed to mine 30BTC when it was still possible to mine Bitcoin probably felt it was not worth it when he was looking at others with 10,000 BTC but that person is smiling today I guarantee it.
What keeps me motivated?
- I like making content in general (this helps a lot).
- I believe every STEEM token that is earned today will be worth more in the future. (In my mind 1 STEEM is always $10 in the future.)
- STEEM is easier earned today then tomorrow.
- It's a life-changing opportunity that is presented and they don't come around often.
I talk about it more in my vlog.

I don't think people can still wrap their minds around how some have accumulated over 100k - 300k in Steem. Most don't know that it has been around for a few years and in March of last year, Steem was at $0.07 a piece. That made getting 70k for $5,000 possible. That opportunity is gone, but you are correct, if minnows see a more attainable goal, ie. 5 - 6k in Steem, they can shoot for it. I truly hope people aren't getting discouraged seeing large numbers. I got my steem by getting a few delegations when it was .05 bitcoin for 15k delegated steem. Blocktrades has made getting those kind of numbers impossible unless you have a great deal of free fiat to spend, but hey, you can't always get what you want. To all the minnows out there, just keep doing what you're doing. If you have low value for posts, it is most likely that you will not get a whale or most dolphins to upvote your post. However, if you and other fellow minnows build up your accounts together, you can all make it despite not getting help from larger accounts!
Goals defo help! Mine was 30k by the end of the year starting from 25 and the closer I get the more determined I get. I will be there well ahead of target, wayhay!! Then I will set the next one :0D
Congrats, man! Amazing result!
Cheers!! I was a wee bit inspired by you constantly going for it. I had never really thought about it before then decided to just start focusing on it! Hurrah for steem!
Thanks, man! You will get there soon.
It's that Life Changing moment that this Birthday Boy in August is Really looking forward too...........Mark @exyle I am looking forward to more Steem Power always !
The beauty of Steem Power is that no matter what you do your SP increases every day. And the more you have the more you will earn.
This is correct.
You see it exactly the way I do. I look at the current valuation of STEEM and see the future possibility. The cents I am generating now will turn into dollars later. This crypto-slump is just a bump in the road. To anyone reading this: Keep blogging and uploading great video content. Adding value is the key to success on Steemit.

That is true! I’ve seen few steemiens I fallow not getting any profits anymore for their bitcoin mining. It has actually gotten to the point where it’s negative ROI when you include electricity expenses.
I completely agree with you about today’s Steem to be much more worth in the future.
🤔 It depends, but you might be right. With increasing number of steemiens the Steem could become more expensive and harder to get.
My target is 1000 SP but I don't actually have plan other than continuing to do what I'm doing @exyle. But i'm going to actually put some numbers on paper today and put a time frame on it.
Thanks for the inspiration.
I'm off to the beach with pen and paper! 😁
Goals are a good way to grow. Little by little. If you grow to fast the risk of losing increases.
I always enjoy your small short positive updates! Keep up the awesome consistent work. You'll achieve your goals. Steem goals ✔ and health goals ✔ Good stuff!!
Thanks!
First the goal was 1000, then 2000, then 3000, then 4000... now sitting at 4200 and want 5000 ;)
I always tell myself that "I'll just hold some here temporarily, I won't keep it ALLLL!!!!", but I end up keeping it all most of the time because it's just so dang awesome.
To 5000!
Good luck getting to 5000! And yes, its to dang awesome :)
Goals help to reach us at the point in life for sure and they should be realistic nicely said that i will try to follow this path hopefully will grow :)
Great advice. My goal has been 200 SP for a while now. I am trying to save up enough SBD that I can power up some to get me there. The exchange rate is so off right now though that it is taking more SBD than I would have thought!
200SP is doable! Good luck man!
Thanks! I appreciate it! Good luck to you as well. I have a feeling you will crush your goal in record time!
Long term focus. That is so important. This is not a get rich quick scheme contrary to what some of the marketers present it as.
Each SP in the account is going to be worth a lot more than $1.30 down the road. While the price could still fall further, I do not believe that the next bull run coupled with SMTs will not propel STEEM way up there in price.
We are an undervalued blockchain....it is one of the leading blockchains in terms of technology and usage. We have that to build upon.
I love this because it's the game plan I have myself as well...
I have ideas but no programming skills to implement them...So I'm playing with the cards I'm dealt. I'm extremely stubborn and won't stop until I reach my goals...But I hear you man, wow it would be nice to speed things up.
Until I find that elusive programming help, I will continue to blog and buy...And another B....Build...Networks, relationships and value from my content :)
Awesome content sir, great video to start the work week off!
"My next target is 150k and it will take me around 290 days to get there under current circumstances."
That's an awesome amount of Steem Power.
Good luck!
Steempower goal is the best way for this platform
I am that typical person who mined more than 30 BTC equivalent of cryptocurrency (e.g. 5 BTC, 1000 LTC, 1.2M DOGE, 5M BCN, 1000 DASH etc.) during 2013-15. On that time, I definitely envied that people who had 10K BTC or 200K LTC.
Unfortunately, I am not smiling now since I lost them due to impatience in daytrading cryptos and futures (yes, there is 20X leverage trading on LTC in OKcoin). The good thing about STEEM POWER, they are safe from hubris of impatience. My goal is make 40K STEEM by 2018, yes I have to buy loads in fiats in next couple of months. Mining them (e.g. earning through blogging) is not easy as through 2016-17.
I hope STEEM sees similar returns like BTC ($600->$6K) and LTC ($3-$80) from 2013-15 in coming years.
very motivatiing.. hope the future unfolds soon: "1 STEEM is always $10 in the future"!
Dude, it's easy to think like that with your steem power . You and all the other whales and dolphins, instead of posting shitty to average content (which is over 90% of the trending posts) you should focus on helping minnows get more steem power...I've been here for over six months now and I've seen your post today (same content, same attitude, same everything) over 50 times...how does that help? Do you want to help? Go check my "open letter to the whales and dolphins" and resteem it...
PS: I'm sorry if I sounded angry or abusive, I wasn't trying to be any of that, I'm just concerned and I wish that things changed here.
Consistent efforts pay! If you don't like your results maybe change your approach starting with your attitude & mental game. When you have fun doing what you do the intrinsic value is reward in itself!! The saying you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar (or something like that) 🙃
All the best to you @talkingwiseshit
Yeah but real change never happened with honey, it usually happened with angry, desperate, annoyed people who one day got up and took action...
Anger does get things moving. It's a useful tool that way. But, it's inefficient and unsustainable. Empathy, resonance and heartfelt communication have the means to be a massively well received, highly functional solution!! Much love, joy and peace to you @talkingwiseshit 🗻❤
Massively well received and then dismissed and forgotten..
it's definitely not easy to keep going if you constantly compare yourself with others. everyone has a different path to success, just keep that in mind.
Minnows like me require a lot of motivation to survive on this platform of steemit.@exyle
What do you mean with survive?
Have you ever invested in steem?
Yes, I have invested my own money.
I am trying hard to increase my steem power here too. Can you see my profile what mistakes I am doing?? I want to be successful here too.
Great article @exyle 🏄🏊Don’t stop when you’re tired, stop when you’re done.💸

i don't get the distribution of rewards. hope you can help me as well so i can have a target too according to knowledge.
Thanks for the great hope ,your realistic view over sp always inspire lots of people like us.
i am constantly working here on steemit for more than 24 days and i am glad i make it upto rep 45 and i dream to achieve more and get more..
I hope 1 steem will become equals to 10$ in future so i will be doing some good works for the ones i love.
Do you have any strategy for your increase? Or have written blog posts on that before? You got to build some sort of community in order to succeed (don't you), but you also need the content? Do you have some basic advices to newbies looking to enter the platform?
Thanks for the information, very motivating, I will take it into account
True bro every steem token generated will give us good value in future let’s be positive and work on this platform to increase our steam power
yes thank you so much its really i need this because i'm new on steem and your goals and my motivation its really helpfully again thank you :)
