This so true @humanearl. If you don't know how to get to a place, you can never get there. Another way I think a person can be successful here on steemit is by producing quality and consistent content. Quality meaning that it adds value to the life of others, and consistent meaning that you have to do this frequently.
With these two weapons in the arsenal of a steemian, I believe he can be successful.
True that and I can can attest to this.
