Richard Branson said once:
Every success story is a tale of constant adoption, revision and change.
Now presumably many of you would agree that this perfectly applies for the success stories written on the Steem blockchain.
I'd even go as far as to say: It needs blood, sweat and tears to get to the top.
Riding the Steem blockchain is riding a rollercoaster, including the most amazing highs as well as the disappointing downs.
Nothing is ever set in stone, and there is no guarantee for success. Every day is different and may turn out to become your biggest chance or a heavy setback. As long as you keep going, don't look back and focus on your stength, you'll be growing.
Then you'll be even able to excel yourself one day.

Who of you remembers the amazing success story from the Hilarskis?
announced that they had purchased a nice car from their money earned blogging on Steem!It was in May 2017 when Randy and Ana - @hilarski & @anahilarski -
That was only one year after joining Steem - what a massive achievement!
Now if you constantly followed their doings here, you'd know that the SUV still appears every now and then in their pictures. So they didn't only buy the car - they also use it, haha :-)
I've heard from a lot of poeple to whom Steem hasn't only become a game changer, but also a life changer. I'd definitely include myself here.
If you want to know what I bought from the money I earned blogging for Steem, then you only need to watch my today's vlog - clicking on the picture above or HERE.
Little and even bigger dreams have been fulfilled all over the world with the money that was distributed among the participants of this eco-system.Without any doubt, Steem was able to improve the life situation of many during the past two years.
That's why my today's question for you is: Which were the milestones in your life you've been able to accomplish thanks to Steem?
I'd really like to know more about it. The comments section is yours!
Much love,
Marly -
My video is at DLive
Thanks for the mention @Surfermarly! Now we are about to buy our house and it will be paid 100% with Crypto and a portion of that came from our Steemit payouts. What a great feeling!!
That’s amazing, Randy! I can only imagine how happy you may be :-)
Who if not you are the perfect example that the ‘American Dream’ got decentralized and is available worldwide now.
Big congrats to the three of you :-)
he is the Panamanian dream :-)
I hope you land is near the beach. I imagine it is. You look really happy about this. I share your joy - Best!
Luckily on this little island almost any spot is close to the beach :-)
But yes, I'll be able to see and smell the Ocean from my future terrace.
Thanks for your nice comment and support @htooms! It always puts a smile on my face when you come around :-) Have a nice day!!
Congrats Marly!
We are still on the way ;)
Our goal is building a big steemit community in Canary Islands and help their members to achieve financial freedom using Steem blockchain.
Thanks for your inspiration!
Saludos!
One of for all and all for one - I really hope to be able to help you achieving that goal: building a strong Steem community on Canary Islands!
I'm glad you felt inspired by my post :-)
I have not yet obtained scores to give me a gift, but satisfaction for some votes yes, I believe that to increase the speed of growth should be devoted more time, to learn, study and better understand this interesting platform, for the time being I remain motivated and excited to achieve better scores in my publications in the future, constancy is one of my virtues.Hello @surfermarly, I have little time in steemit and because of my work I haven't been able to dedicate myself more and time, so I still don't have material gain, if I consider that I have grown, with constancy and dedication, little by little I have been growing.
Hey @syllem! Well not everybody is able to dedicate 12 hours per day to blogging. I've got a job in real life, too. So it's always a balancing act between those two. But even being a hobby, spending time on Steem can be quite contributive in many ways as you perfectly mentioned.
Enjoy your day, and thanks for stopping by in my blog :-)
Hopefully I will be able to buy my freedom from wage slavery. lol
STEEM shill-mode activated! :D
I'm really happy you achieved this with your steeming, it's a great advert as to what can be done here!
I suppose so far, I've managed to cover a few months on Reunion Island and Mauritius, and haven't been sat at a desk since September either - not bad going thus far!
As a few others have commented, I think there's still more room for growth here (although others are at the starting gates I here!), so I've not powered down once and hope one day, STEEM can buy me a house too!
Steem-shill-mode haha - like that!
It's all your fault, and you know it :-))
Obviously good things need their while, and the longer you've been working here (I call it work on purpose) the greater the chances that you've passed some milestones en route.
These posts have mainly one message: to motivate!
Everything is theoretically possible, and to everybody - if they want.
May we all build houses on/of Steem one day :-)
I gladly take the blame :D
Yes I call it work too mostly, just not 'real work' - It does require time, a bit of luck, and certainly persistence these days.
But yes, may we all build houses of Steem with steemy windows :D
Well I donate part of what I get in Steemit to fund the schooling of 6 indigenous children from a local tribe here in the Philippines. They are a part of the first graduates we had on a school that we adopted.
We are pretty proud of them as they are the first 6 graduates from Grade School and enrolled to High School. The place never had anyone go to high school before we came.
This June would be a feat because part of donation drive and posts that I have made will be spent on providing 500 indigenous children school supplies for the coming year.
That would be a major feat for us.
I dream that someday I will turn over the account to them and they would be self sufficient in getting from funds using the gifteconomy of Steem.
Just over a year ago, I cashed out some steem to pay off some debt. Back then, the price per steem was much lower.
It wasn't a major event, but it was fascinating to me to use money earned curating (I rarely post).
It's fascination, yeah it definitely is. I remember that when I cashed out some Steem for the very first time I used it to invite some friends for dinner. Obviously I told them: Enjoy the meal, this is paid with digital money! :-D Haha! Their faces were.... priceless!
At the end of the dinner, did you ask when they were going to host a meal sponsored by Facebook or Twitter?
😂🤓
its great to see people investing their earnings in projects that make life better as well as freeing yourself from the daily grind of working for someone else
I knew you bought your drone with steem, must have missed the land.
At least Lanza is affordable :-) (have you got a link to the post about the purchase, that is if you made a post about it)
I really hope its close to the sea and a nice surf spot.
For me I have bought a bit of smartcash with it and was able to get enough for a smartnode. so that gives me a bit of diversity and some passive income.
Apart from that I have kept everything in SP since I believe in the future value and since I do not need that money right now but hope that it will represent a nice extra pension later in life it stays where it is
Nice approach @felander :-)
Investments can be done in many ways, and one has to decide which is the best for their personal situation. There are no houses for rent on Canary Islands since everything is used for tourism, so as a Resident the only option you have is actually to buy land and build your own. That’s why investing Steem in a property was the most logical step for me.
I published a video about the milestone in January, funnily it became my most successful post ever hitting the third place on trending :-) https://steemit.com/dtube/@surfermarly/x2zm8s26
Steem on and happy Monday! ;)
I bought a new fence for my garden :)
That's great!!
Both that you were able to purchase it with Steem and also that you've got a garden :-)
Hi Marly, the most important "milestone" still have to come. But on my way to give my children both 1000 STEEM. The first is already achieved.
But for me STEEM did bring much more, many new people around and so much interesting and fun to read. In that way it makes the world much smaller, and we can join so many different cultures and learn from it. No matter if it is a nice place to be, a perfecr recipe, a lovely picture, sports,.. there is so much..... A small disadvantage; it takes so much time :-) .. :-)
I haven't been able to achieve any milestones yet.
But for now my goal is to buy a decent laptop.
That'll be a good start to my journey
I'm sure you gonna reach that goal any time soon! :-)
Steemit is all a revolutionary platform ever.
Oh wow! actually seeing someone buy a piece of land out of Steem earnings! 🤯
I wish I could buy a place in London in zone 3 at least, where I rent now... So my account is worth about $50 at the moment, all I need is the remaining $675,455 which is roughly half a mil British Pounds! 😅
I have not had my chance yet to accomplish that milestone as i am new to steem but i am hoping to get that done soon! i wanna pay my parents house off for them.
Absolutely right Nerd money is the best for building asset with steem..
Thanks for another effective dlive analytical content.@surfermarly
I am far from any achievements yet money-wise... But I dearly want to contribute to the people who has less than we have, I (fortunatly) am in no need for the money, but of course it is nice to see I do make some. So I want to contribute to help other people, but still am looking how to accomplish that...
I can’t stop talking about this question from now till Tomorrow. Steem has really changed my life. Steem and Sbd are the first crypto I ever owned and traded with, tho I only joined like some months ago but the steemblockchain has added value to my life over the months.
Steemit under the influence of steem as offered me my first job , yeah my first job and it’s actually blogging through music. Steemit has given me the opportunity and platform to showcase myself and this has changed my mentality forever. I’m glad I could share this little with you
It's amazing how many people's dreams come true, I'm new to the community but the extra money has not fallen for me, I have not managed to get something incredible, but I'm still in the fight.
Hello, Siren! I am a lawyer and my dream is to exercise my carrer, but unfortunately in my country Venezuela the economic and social situation is very hard, so with Steemit's money I can stay on track and spend time looking to exercise without having to work in a company or store .. I love the opportunity that Steemit gives me is helping me to fulfill my goal, my dream for what I study in so many years.
I love seeing this type of post encourages me and encourages me to fulfill my dreams, because if others have been able I can too!
It is not an easy job but it is incredible and I enjoy it.
I knew you bought your drone with steem, must have missed the land.
At least Lanza is affordable :-)
Oh I already commented on your first one :-)
did not even realise that i had posted twice
STEEM showed my family that crypto can be converted to anything. I bought silver and gold with it and laughed in their face :)
Nothing just yet, but I am very inspired by many of the success stories on the platform. It is my aim to build my account as well as I possibly can, and to then use any earnings to help to pay off my parents' debts.
Nice upbeat story. I'm sure plenty of future success stories are around the corner as crypto regains some of its strength and Steemit as well. Still very early in my opinion.
Bonito cabello amiga :3 Jejje como olvidar ese gran logro de @Hilarski y @Anahilarski es simplemente conmovedor y fantástico, debo decir que también steem a cambiado mi vida, significativamente por eso estoy tan agradecido :D
El cabello... Jajaja Muy gracioso, eh? #windyhairidontcare :-P
Jajaja se ve Cool así amiga:)
Wow. This is massive. Congrats on your acquisition. Steem is indeed making dreams come true. I riding with steem to a 100k $ earner and i hope it arrives sooner than later
