The beginning
Things started out really well for me on Steemit. The first few days here I made a killing. Then I let my ego, emotions and brain screw me royally. Within my first month or so on Steemit I had made a tonne of money and then I flipped out on people like 
, 
, 
and 
and got into a world of trouble.
*** Note: Do not piss off the big fish, they like to eat Minnows - JSYK! ***
The Vacation
After my epic melt down I lost most of my "Followers" and couldn't make any money here to save my arse. So I left steemit for a few months. I took a "Forced Vacation" of sorts. Then a few months ago I snuck back in a tested the waters.....nope still icy so back on Vacation for a while longer.
*** Note: Fish have really good memories and they are slow to Forgive and Forget. ***
My Return
About a month ago I again returned to steemit, this time though I didn't care anymore what people thought about me. I was determined to "make it" here once again; even if it killed me. Since my return I have gone from a little over 100 followers to now over 600 Loyal Followers. I still don't really make money, but that is kool. I am helping people and it feels great.
*** Note: Helping others find their voice and make it on Steemit is very rewarding! ***
How I am helping
I spend a lot of time in Chat. Both on Steemit.chat and PAL Discord channel helping newbies, answering questions and so forth.
I also have joined the amazing #MinnowSupportProject on PAL and have began to delegate my 9.2+k worth of Steem Power to Minnows so they can become better curators.
*** Note: Giving of yourself to others feels really good and will make you lots of friends! ***
The Road Ahead
My immediate goals (for Steemit) are to reach the 10k SP Dolphin status and increase my "Followers" to 1,000.
Beyond that I plan to continue to help as many as possible and that includes through my own projects like:
