Ever since I was a kid I had this passion to achieve monetary success. Because my father was never able to provide our family with as much as we needed. I decided that when I'll have kids that they will be able to have whatever they want. Not to spoil them with gifts, or anything like that. Just to be able to live a normal life without the restrictions of not having enough money for something.
To achieve that I've been constantly thinking about a business I can start, or an idea that would make a lot of money. Nedless to say, in a country where corruption is key and you need connections in high places to be able to achieve something and without no money to invest, I was stuck for years. Not being able to make a single cent from my ideas. Had a great deal of great ideas but, no way to achieve them. And my partents not supporting me in all of this didn't help at all.
But then I found out about Steemit. While watching a DollarVigilante on youtube he mentioned that Steemit. I instantly made an account, which I got the next day. 17 moons after, I own 6300 SP and there is no stopping me! I'm going to earn my way up to 10k in the near future, 20k in a year and 50k+ in the next couple of years.
My dream now, is to be able to earn enough STEEM before the price moons, so that when it finally does, I can earn enough money to support myself only through rewarding others and collecting curation rewards.
Fun fact: I'm a 23 and live in the capital city of Croatia, Zagreb.
Same here. I don't wanna be poor like my parents. They existed and didn't live. While all my friends were going to the states for the summer I was at home working. My kids will be going on the trips !
6300SP in 17 months wowww!
I'm kind of the same in terms of my goal here on Steem, accumulate as much SP as possible before the price starts to recover back to $8+ lol I could only hope that it really will go back to when I first stumbled upon this platform.
Good luck!:)
Quite proud of you , especially of your determination and how you are going about it.
Keep striving! Keep moving!!
