It's been quite a journey. It started 19 months ago with my very first post. I had never even used Facebook before let alone used ANY form of social media or done any blogging! Since then I've blogged almost every day on my way to 50,000 Steem Power!
Here's my first ever post from way back then:
Can an Old (Entrepreneurial) Dog Learn New Crypto Tricks? Part One
In part two I set myself a goal to see if I could start to make an income through blogging:
Can an Old (Entrepreneurial) Dog Learn New Crypto Tricks? Part Two
Here is a quote from that article:
Well, this old dog needs to move on. It’s time to start getting ready to move over to another adventure. The crypto world and Steemit blogging here with you. Can I actually make a living doing this? I've started slowly to be sure but watch as my efforts pick up Steem. My philosophy will remain the same: work hard, try and help others and add value here by contributing good quality posts and comments. I've got so many ideas that my head is exploding.
The main thing for me is catching up tech wise so that my creativity is not hindered by a lack of know how! Don't worry though this old dog will get there! I hope to help you as well by up voting and following you on your journeys.Please be on the look out for my next post where you'll see one of the many ideas that I have! I'm pumped!
I wish you blessings and success,@kus-knee
In part three I proved many things to myself about Steemit:

As you can see, today I hit one of my goals. 50,000 Steem Power!
Here We Are 19 Months Later And I've Just Reached 50,000 Steem Power!
I owe a lot of thanks to all of you for your encouragement and interaction. I want to let you know that if I can do it so can you. What I wrote in the quote above ("work hard, try and help others and add value here by contributing good quality posts and comments." ) are principles for success that will always work.
If I did it so can you and if you need any help reaching your goals just let me know and I'll do what I can to help you!
Where Will I go From Here?
Have I reached my goal of making a living from blogging? Well, I'm not cashing out or spending the Steem Power but I could. Retirement is just around the corner for me so this nest egg is NICE!
So, what's next? I'm a big believer in setting goals and targets so here are some of the things I'd like to accomplish in the next year.
- Have some physical copies of my Steem Cards printed
- Created a new series of Steem Cards for 2018
- Continue to expand on my series on Mundane Art using virtual galleries
- Continue on a quest towards 100,000 Steem Power!
- Start to do more vlogs with better quality.
- Improve my computer graphics skills
Thanks again to all of you for joining me on this journey and for making it a lot of fun!
Until next time,
