That's an interesting story and I'm thankful that you shared it. Ramit seems to suffer from the same issue that a lot of "gurus" in any field suffer - basically, overconfidence and thinking they have the answer for EVERYONE.
I'm glad that you didn't give up on your pursuits, since it's clearly working out so well for you!
One question - when you say full time on steemit, you mean this is the only way you earn money right now? I ask because I've also toyed with that idea - what if I put 100% of my effort into this platform and truly went all-in? - but right now, I'm doing a diversification strategy of trying to maintain a wide variety of income streams.
Curious to hear what you think about risk diversification - do you just accept the risk and roll with it, or do you have some safeguards in case (unlikely as it is) steem crashes or even dies?
no, i have 4 different income streams, but I make most from the Dash DAO and Steem.
