Always interesting to see who you share birthdays with! Tip of the hat to fellow Leo and August 12th Birthday @piedpiper (his post about his coming year).
Planning ahead, I think one of the most important things that I can do for the Steem platform is simply present my background, illuminate what skills and talents I bring to the table, and provide my own personal set of goals and strategies for contributing to the health and vitality of the ecosystem.

With this, you can all hold my feet to the fire if I do something stupid. Have a great weekend!
I will be inviting more former Hippies onto steemit (deal with it, green berets)
Good. We can argue, go shooting, and close out with some frisbee golf.
invite me pls
World needs more militant hippies!
Happy birthday! Great write up with measurable, actionable, timed goals. Well done. Good luck on your quest. You've already earned my follow.
Great goals. Mine is to make 1$ per post on average (over 1000 posts) and do at least one good post a day, (Although that is proving difficult and so might have to lower it to 3 a week or something like you... But I have realized posting well thought out comments sometimes can be just as good so may fill some days with commenting on articles I enjoy and writers I follow.. )
That's one thing I'd love to see. More whale or dolphin up votes in comments

Congratulations, you did great last year :).
Nice plan for next year too.
Keep it up!
