Mentoring is not a dirty word.

Heavy equipment digs down for the laying of footers. Next are the foundation walls. There is a lapse of time before the framing of the first floor nears completion. The next stories go up rather quickly.

So many people come onto Steemit and never build a foundation.

Guess what happens with their account? People boast that they have so many followers. What is the quality of these connections? http://jto.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/wn20130426n1b.jpg source: http://jto.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/wn20130426n1b.jpg One’s reputation is **NOT** that number. One’s reputation is what active and fruitful Steemians think of the individual as a human being and that person’s commitment to bring high value to Steemit. The artificial, spammers and other takers get hung out to dry and blown away. Instead of a high-rise, the building is Blockchain. The Blockchain can endure some weak links but eventually, will replace them.

Social Media Professionals Have Written Values and Goals.

It starts with integrity. Professionals can easily spot integrity in others. Authenticity attracts when a newbie makes thoughtful and value-added comments on blog posts of those strong links. Networking on Steemit should start in this manner before one makes a hundred posts and wonders why he/she is not getting anywhere. ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZrQ1aU5BBBFe1Mvo2BXV6hQN4rWjLUAFZDfG2hpY8MPR/image.png) source: https://marketinginsidergroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/the_art_of_social_media.jpg In professional marketing, one must brand him/her self or the company or both. In business today, too many top executives make themselves unavailable and hide behind walls. People want to see real folk. Part of that branding is a picture of the authentic person. If one can afford the investment, a signature boosts the brand. Some people have a difficult time being authentic because of self-sabotage. We can end that for you. We have landmark applied psychology at our disposal. You just have to commit to following through. You also need to commit to serving, even if you have never done it before. Steemit is a community, and we are a vital part of that society; having a vibrant community of our own.
