My great desire
It has been my great desire to make my steem power grow so I could have a higher voting value. In that way I could expect good things to happen for myself (well honestly) and to give me more power to upvote a number of steemians starting from our group #steemitachievers members to some friends outside the group to even strangers who I find the need to be upvoted. I mean those who have produced quality contents but were not rated well, or not given the right attention by the big fishes around.
In my first two months with this wonderful platform, I set my post’s rewards to 100% power up so I could make my SP grow faster. I am not sure if I made the right move because this time I’ve seen posts of prominent steemians that setting it to 50% / 50% is the best option in order to survive here on #steemit.
That way we are given the opportunity to withdraw cash for our personal consumption as the need arises or to convert our SBD to STEEM and then power up.
So I did changed my post rewards to 50% / 50% and leave it as it is until this time.
Wrong group
When I was few days old here on #steemit, I was invited to join a group which I expect to really help newbies unconditionally. Truly I gain few relevant information from them but I can say not enough for me to become equipped with the right weapon to survive and eventually become an inspiration to others.
Finally we have our own
So I left and with the help of some friends like @lebron2016 who really convinced me and even forced me to lead a new group so we could help newbies like us to at least earn a considerable amount of money by producing quality contents consistently, in a way we are contributing also to the overall success of #steemit thereby helping #STEEM and SBD become stronger, and with my colleague @g10a we organized a new group which we call #steemitachievers and invited our blogging queen in the other planet @junebride as well as @birjudanak who we call genius since he joined #steemit ahead of us and know a lot of things I didn’t know as newbie.
This time I don’t consider myself as the sole leader of this amazing and fast growing group, we formed a 5-man core leader in the person of those I mentioned above. We are the ones who are responsible in planning and the implementation of the rules we set for everyone to follow in order for us to grow and avoid violating any rule on #steemit.
Great people with kind benevolent hearts
What I appreciate in my way of thinking as far as making the group grow and maintain order is concern is that I don’t think about my own personal interest and I know this is also what’s inside the heart of each of the leaders. We don’t require and force the members to do things like compulsory voting or resteeming.
While I find it necessary, I did not require them, I want to give full freedom to each members, and we only encourage everyone to resteem posts especially introductory post to help the newbies reach more visibility, contests and the like but the decision is still up to them.
We initiated contests
In our group I was the first one who initiated a contest I called “2K Words Blog Writing Contest” with prizes coming from my own wallet, initially, but I was so grateful the contest was discovered by my good friend @paradise-found and helped me with judging and mostly with the prizes. He spent big money for the prizes and commend the works of my members, which I find also worth to be “curried” and yes a lot of them earned big amounts although some are left unnoticed.
More contests
Then a lot of contests came afterwards, it’s our way of sharing our blessings and encouraging members to really make good and be consistent in providing quality contents. I am so happy that most of those who initiated a contest use their own money for the prizes, truly these people are so admirable.
Big thanks to @jacinta.sevilla, @g10a, @kneelyrac, @deeday31,@maverickinvictus, and many others keep up the good works guys and more power!
This time we have more than 400 members in our FB group page although honestly not all of them are active but the request to join us keep on pouring every day and in fact we have more than 40 pending requests subject for approval.
Our goal
Our mission is to be able to grow more in number and produce more talented members since we already have brilliant travel bloggers, artists and singers too. In that way we could be an inspiration to others especially newbies and could help change their lives for the better.
God bless us all!

For me, You are a real role model steemian even outside steemit. Your sense of influence is at the highest level, you even convinced and get me registered in a blogging site (talking about the other planet) where we just earn less that a dollar per day. Until this awesome platform I wouldn't be here if its not because of you. I confirmed, you really are a great man with a huge heart who can feel the emotional feelings of every individual.
#steemitachievers really needs a role model like you who never get tired sharing of encouraging words and keep inspiring newbies.

Thanks for sharing the story how the group began. You are a cool bunch. I can feel that you guys try to help newbies. I understand how you feel about not having a support system when you started. It must have been tough. I guess I am so lucky and blessed @meetmysuperego introduced me to you, guys. So far, this is the only Steemit Group I have and at the moment I do not plan to have others coz I still have to prove myself to you guys. I barely finish a post. LOL Anyway, thanks for being a cool family. I'm learning from all of you. Cheers!

Thank you @sunnylife Im glad I joined #gratefulvibes discord channel, if not i wont be meeting wonderful people like you, thanks to @paradise-found for inviting me.
This post is worth a resteem! couldn't agree more, a better community always attracts more talents!
I have seen the activities of your Facebook group. It is one of the organized groups about steemit and the unique way of promoting link also appreciated. Due to my busy offline life, I can't give much time in group (reading, commenting, upvoting). For that reason I also don't post my link here on regular basis. But whenever posted link, I got positive response from our users. Hope that your dream will come true!
Thank you doc hafiz, we are really trying to make everything easy for the members and were trying to guide them all the way. Its okay we understand you, were happy seeing you in our fb page and in our posts comment blog once in a while.
Thank you for supporting our group #steemitachievers.
Hi kuya! I'm very grateful that you're one of the core leaders in steemitachievers who's very hands-on and very helpful to the newbies! Also, it was you who instructed me to make a new intro post which led to a higher income. It was an ego booster! My first ever income which exceeds $1 tenfolds! Continue to be a blessing kuya! Have a good health and may God bless you even more. :)
PS. I'm also grateful that @g10a messaged me to join and be one of the members of this amazing community #steemitachievers!!
This is really awesome to read! Weldon! What prompted me to read this blog was your first goal to grow your steem power so that your upvote means something to others. This were my exact same words when i joined a week ago! It is really beautiful to see how many of us are connected in our desire to help each other. Success is definitely inevitable because we rise by lifting others. I just followed you, and I'm looking forward to reading from you! Cheers to greater achievements.
I believe God will grant your heart's desires because God blesses those with pure intention, those who love to help, those who prefer to give rather than to receive. You also have an altruistic gift, just like Shane, g10a and sir Terry. Indeed you are a remarkable person and I thank you for being an awesome leader.
