Definitely a good reminder. Sometimes my posts slow down a bit when I'm working on a Steemit-related project, but I love to share info about the project and get some extra street cred that way.

I've been pleased with the amount of votes I've been getting, as well as the quality of my growing network. I bear this in mind when I see a payout that's 1/3 of what it would have been a month ago. This is a bump in the road and it needs to be seen through the right lens. Don't let me catch anyone looking at this slowdown under a microscope, look at the big picture y'all...

Go and collaborate with someone. Sell your services for SBD instead of paypal. Even donate your talent if you can manage it. Every move we're making on here is like a mini-commercial for ourselves and given time, these positive impressions can have a huge impact.

@stackin, I'm at a crossroads now and I'm throwing fuel on the fire of my regular business - working with an innovative start-up and getting qualified business coaching. I want to put the same sincere effort into SteemIt, even if I have to tone it down a little - to manage the juggling act.

If you remember, the first time I hopped on SteemIt, you told me I was going to go far. I intend to live up to those words. Struggling, stumbling, slipping, sliding, even failing my way forward, buddy!

Take care guy!
