Thank you so much @humanearl, I learnt a lot from this post with regards to being a successful steemian. But I feel it's important the steemian in quote gives a description of what he takes as success. To one, success might mean an increase in steemit reputation, to another increase in upvotes, and to another increase in the influence in the lives of others.
If your definition of success is to influence the lives of others, then you have to have a heart connection with them. I can recommend @humanearl method of this heart connection, by asking your audience questions, giving them the opportunity to ask you any question that bothers them, and trying as much as possible to give solutions to those problems.
Through this means, you would have impacted the lives of so many, and success would have begun.
Right bro. That's why I said whatever success you are trying to achieve here because it is different from person to person. You pretty much hit the nail on the head with my goal here and how I view success. Reputation, upvotes, and payout are just bonuses. But what I really love is connecting.
I know God will bring the harvest in due time so no worries.
