In order for my shop to survive, the mall must survive. If I hurt the mall, I hurt my shop. Can't pay myself until the timing is right, I want to put the least amount of strain on the entire operation as possible. Sell less, for more. Anyone who knows anything knows what I mean by that.

So many people here fail to see the macro view. I could probably try to squeeze every penny out out of this place, but I have resources allocated to activities that don't earn me anything because I'm trying to have a macro view. I also don't take my own business to 'shops' or 'mall' operatorsI I feel are not healthy.

The established content producer forgot to secure their place here by explaining to their followers the benefits of purchasing STEEM and upvoting over the long term. They still ask for "donations".

It's a bit of an ego hit when you have a quarter million followers on YouTube, and come here and try to start from zero. I've been trying to identify these folks and support them on here as much as possible. If we can get just a few really energized about STEEM, that is a huge funnel of potential Steemians.
