Yes, your current STEEM Power is just over 1.

The parameters have changed quite a bit since that post was written. The inflation rate of STEEM is now 9.5% and the Power Down period is now 13 weeks.

I wrote an update to that post in Retirement: Active Income from SteemIt.

You are well on your way to building your STEEM Power. When you get to a level of STEEM Power you are comfortable with, then you can use SteemIt to supplement your income.

I wrote of post about my up voting strategy that may help you. Upvoting For the Mutual Benefit of Patrons, Commentors, and Others While Promoting More Engagement

I try to help out my supporters as well as support people making an important contribution to the quality content and growth of the SteemIt community.

Have a great weekend!
Steem on,
Mike
