At first congrats @thecrytotrader
You Must be a member of my Discord Community.
I enter your discord server
You need to comment your own Reason which gives you the strength and motivation to keep going on Steemit,even if you are earning less.
I think it's like most things in life you do for money, not very successful depending how you measure success...
If you're doing it for money then it can only ever be so successful, but if you are doing what you enjoy doing then it is successful from the beginning..
I've never met a successful person who didn't do what he/she enjoys doing for a living..... :)
Thanks for your entry.
