Everything in your post makes sense.
I have spent much time looking at the get rich guru's, guess what you don't unless you are exceptionally lucky.
I am new to steemit, and I like what I see, if money does accumulate it would make me happy if it does not I will still be happy.
I like the format here, and I do like to write, how well I do this is the question. But I have a determination and a willingness to improve my writing skills.
So following your advice concentrate on the writing, if money comes, as a result, I will not refuse.
The thing is, I agree with Dollar Vigilante here: he's not lucky, he has had a lifetime of experiences with this: he's extremely talented. He's not lucky at all, he just put in lots of effort, have you read the entirety of his post? It's very humbling and feeling like he's lucky feels like a mistake to me.
I enjoy writing a ton and usually keep it to myself, but with money on the table, why not share?
