Great post Hive account@mammasittta, being new to Steemit and reading your post it highlights that things aren't going to happen quickly, it took you 17 months so why would it take me less.
To me these posts are the most valuable, it can be easy to think "why am I writing a post not many people will read", but hearing about other people's success stories and the time it has taken other users is comforting.

I would be keen to read a post about your journey on Steemit so far and how you built your empire to over 4000 followers since June 16

Keep up the great work. I will be sure to check it out
