Yes! That has been my experience as well. Several times (way too many!) I've reached that "end of the rope" period and it was then, maybe out of sheer desperation, that things turned around.
Congratulations to you, stellabelle (Leah) on your wisdom, your insight, and your stick-to-it-ivity (is that a real word???). I was just telling my partner, Gina, about what you have done and how she needs to see your success.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for your sharing. Keep up the good work!
Terry
Thanks! You see, i was always an idea rich person. I just didn't have the right platform and a community...steemit is that community and decentralized platforms were the missing piece for me.
Yep! I know what you mean.
Hey, I just had an idea. Would you be open to doing an interview with me for my YouTube channel/ Steemit/ My Blog? I would love to talk with you about your story you told of moving from "yuck" to your success. I think it would be an inspiration to a lot of people.
You can see examples of what I've done on my blog @ TerryBrock.com. Many of the posts have video and you'd also get a chance to know more about me, what I do, etc.
I would be honored to do a video interview (using Zoom --- I'll help you if you need assistance with that) where we can highlight what you did, how you did it with writing and what advice you'd give.
Who knows, maybe that Ramit Sethi will watch it someday and be really pissed that he dissed you! :-)
If you don't want to do the interview and would feel uncomfortable, I'll completely understand. No problem.
BTW, I think you and I might have corresponded over on the Dash Slack site. I did an interview with Tao of Satoshi as well as Amanda B. Johnson earlier and you might have seen those.
Either way, I'm sending you a High Five across the miles and cheers for your success. I'm proud of you and would love to share your story with the world.
Whatcha' say?
ok cool. i have used zoom before....
yes. so do you use steemit chat? i'd like to pm you my email...
I just got on steemit chat but don't know much about it. How about email? [email protected]
ok sure, thanks
yes, i know exactly who you are! my answer is yes!
I'll be really interested to watch that when it comes out and find out more about the lovely Stellabelle! You have such a fascinating mind Leah - just as interesting as Dan Larimer in your own unique way. I'm so glad to read how your fortune turned around through employing yourself. The economy is changing so fast these days in ways no one could have predicted even five years ago. Viva la crypto!
yes, thanks for your compliments! it's exciting times!
