Remember the journey is sometimes more important than the destination.
-Unknown-
I would generally find this quote quite clichΓ©, but it really came to heart in this specific situation.
Setting targets for yourself is very important. If you have no drive, or something to work towards, then what are you really even doing anything for?
With that being said, setting goals are crucial, as well as hitting those milestones.
It's been quite an incredible journey so far. It feels as if I have been here far longer than the actual amount of time. At the same time, life feels like it's moving way too fast lately!
I think my biggest lesson here so far has been the simple 'do not give up' attitude. Just making sure things play their part, and being confident in your abilities. That way of thinking can really help a person go the extra mile.
Having that hustle mentality can also do wonders in progress.
I remember reading a book once about making leaps of progress. Doing something called a 'launch'. That is what is needed to really take off in anything you want to achieve. That is also where @grantcardone's 10X Rule can relate very well. I just mentioned @grantcardone, so there is a 70%+ chance that @stackin is going to post his picture of him and Grant here! :D I'm laughing hard when typing this!! @stackin, stay awesome bro!
I don't want to try and be any kind of guru. My words are simply what I am experiencing, and the way I truly feel. You may take from my word however you would like.
You know, satisfaction is a strange thing to accomplish. In our heads, we think that we will be satisfied when we reach a certain destination in progress, however that satisfaction is never as strong as we think it will be.
I sort of have that reaction to my current progress on Steemit, if I am being honest. I have been told multiple times that my current progress has been impressive considering the time period of which I have been here, but I feel like it has not been good enough. 'Did I maybe set my standards too high?' That is the question rolling in my head. However, at the same time, not being satisfied is also one of my biggest motivations to work harder.
I am very grateful to have found this platform this year, compared to missing even more opportunity in the next few years. Although the people who were working their blog's here last year had a ton more opportunity, we still have incredible potential to do amazing things here. For that, I am feeling an utter sensation of abundance!
This post was actually a little delayed. I reached 2000 followers about 13 hours ago already, but had to finish my previous post series. I also reached Rep 64, and 6500+ posts today.
Here is a snapshot I took just when I reached 2000 followers, about 13 hours ago:
And here is a snapshot I took a few seconds ago:

My main Instagram account is currently at 35K+ Followers.
Wow ! Congratulations my friend !! It took me over a year to get that far ! LOL! Mind you it was long time before people actually starting joining , and just recently on mass ! Its been pretty crazy , im loving it ! Keep up the great work !upped and followed !πππ
Ahh thank you Karen! I appreciate that :)
Yeah, I can imagine! I mean, then again, you guys had killer rewards back then too :D Cannot wait for round 2!!
Glad we met :) Stay awesome. See you around!
Thanks you too!
2K in under 3 months?
Haha, you blow me away once more. Well, done!
I can relate to the fealing that we never can appreciate our situation. I am just about one week longer than you here and also have had a pretty nice run so far. But not as good as you. So there it is, the nagging feeling of you could and should have done more. But I guess it is ok!
Because then we can see the potential of what we can achieve with 10x more power.
Amen to that brother. I suppose that was a pretty solid example of the satisfaction.
It's just a constant game of improving. I think the most important thing is simply be honest with yourself. Not selling yourself too short by trying to make the situation better than it is.
Just being real, and identifying your true progress. For example, my current progress has been with 40% focus. The rest of the time, even though I've been here, has not been productive time. So just admitting that will take you a long way.
Now it's just time to come in harder and stronger :)
I'm liking the picture GIF bro. Taking some action I see. Oh and.. I appreciate your kind words :)
Right, I am also quite inefficient currently. Only four posts a day a few dozens of comments is not enough. I think it could probably be twice as productive as I am now each day. At least.
I learn from the best! Step by step towards becoming the King of the Pirates!
Wonderful progress, Zane! More amazing is the fact that in just last 13 hours you got another 75 follows but I don't miss to see that you made 151 posts during this same time. Hundred and fifty posts in half a day! Man, you are hyperactive!
I can feel ya, why you feel your progress is not good enough according to your expectations. It's not just about 86 days, you have poured in all of your soul here ...and your soul is priceless. No amount of figures can match what you are putting in here. May you reach and surpass whatever goals you have set! Best wishes & much Love!
This comment gave me goosebumps! Thank you for that.
WOW really? :D I didn't even realize haha. I am just going, not staring at the numbers all day. I'll check the post count in the morning, then again in the evening, but not so much while I work :)
Man this entire last part was really awesome to read. This I appreciate your kindness! Like you said, no money in the world can compare to real heart and soul. I totally agree.
See you again soon my friend :)
Go Big or Go Home 10X Attitude... when you ever get to Las Vegas, Roll by the "STACKIN" Mansion one of these days... We can have a Steemit Party lol
Eyy that's it right there hey.
Did you see I mentioned you in the post LOL? No picture with Grant? :D What a tease hahaha
Oh definitely. It has to happen! Big things to come!
Fine, Throwback Video π π€£π
Dude, that message in the video is actually really solid. Spelling doesn't make a Best Seller!! :D Love it.
That video creation to writing is genius too. I will definitely do that when I write my book.
Nice one.
Haha, I like your style. This circle of people here is boosting with motivation. I love it.
10x
Totally agreed! All the way up :)
People stealing my style all over steemit ππ€£
You plane the path for us and we take it from there.
It's actually your attitude and drive that attracted me to your post on the platform. I fell in love with Steemit as soon as I saw it. It's taking me a while to get some traction going as I have had to shift priorities from other adventures which were consuming my time. Steemit is now where I congregate every free moment I get. I Upvoted, Resteemed, and I have been following your posts because I am a fan. Keep going and I will keep following!
Man that's brilliant to hear. Thank you for letting me know :)
Well then.. Makes two of us hahaha! This is an incredible platform, and I am very grateful that I do not waste my time on Facebook and Instagram anymore.
I appreciate that! I will try my best to keep you guys on your toes! Thanks for your awesome comment!
setting goals are crucial. That's why I make list of everything.
The first thing in my Steemit list is the one that you say 'do not give up' Is hard for me, I'm still so new. But I'm having so much fun with this
It's great that you are so transparent, truly you and that's why you are so successful, people love real people. Believe me we all are getting that motivation!
Steem On. You rock !!
Writing a list of tasks is such a good way to be more productive and organized!! Nice going :)
You are doing a great job. Don't sell yourself too short my friend :) Your content is really awesome, and I see potential in you. I like that you are so open to new ideas. That is a trait that will take you far!
It's sometimes really nice to hear straight up your reaction :) I appreciate that. Sometimes it can be difficult to understand what people want, but it's awesome hearing your opinion of how you are taking my content.
Thank you for that :)
Thanks to you to giving us all this great stuff that help us in many ways.
And thank you for believe in me and my potencial. Trying my best so far
You make a beautiful job also for the great feedback you have in all this comments.
You have amazing followers!
Ahh Jessy of course :) Don't sweat it!
I know you are. That is why I am giving you my attention, because I appreciate that. You are a real lady-hustler! One of these days you will be at the top of your game, and you will be an inspiration to many. I see a lot of @sweetsssj's characteristics in you. And that woman is to this day, my biggest inspiration on this platform.
Thank you :) I feel if someone takes the time to give my content appreciation, then they deserve my time. You are one of those amazing followers!
Oh damn, so many comments already what should I say now :D?
Like always I am telling you what I think!
For me, βyou are aβ prime example for many others here.
Your current success on this platform did no come from just sitting around and looking what could happen.
No, you put and are always putting so much energy in every actionβ you made.
It's simple math if someone calculatesββ well. And this is for me really impressive.
6500 Posts in 86 days? This is a kind of masterful performance.
Dont get me wrong i wouldnt say this if i dont mean it that way.
You are an example for many here, that the goals they have on this platformβ is possible someone before and other made it already. Like you said its just the beginning.
For the future Iβ wish you all the best, may help people like you are actually doing!
My man! I appreciate this message :) There are some comments here yeah, but I take dedicated time for each and every one. So don't worry about the others, because when I read a comment, I focus on that specific one :)
Thanks for that.
I appreciate your kind words!
I think there are far too many people going around life with their hands in their pockets (If I'm being honest). I think having someone who can pave the road for those people.. Showing them what is possible.. That is very important.
Thank you again for your kind words. Keep up your good content by the way. I appreciate someone who puts in the effort to make something better.
I have to thank you for taking time to write an answer and also for your encouragement :)
Omgsh! I just realized, you created the shark logo for @surfermarly! I've seen your work before. Congrats and cheers to your success. β€
Hey my friend :) Oh you remember :D That's pretty awesome!
Yeah, that was really just me having some fun haha. I enjoyed the experience and the vibes of the contest far more than I did the money I made in the prize :)
Did you also enter? I think I remember that's when I saw @xaero1 upvote everyone else's except mine :D I got so annoyed hahaha!
And hey! You just repped up as well! Cheers to your success here :) Lady-Boss. I have given you a follow!
of course! Your style is unique. I dig it! :) awwww I'm sure @xaero1 did not mean to leave you out. Are you buddies with him? @xaero1 is one of my favorite people on Steemit. Dunno where he went... its been like 2 weeks since I talked to him... so sad, I miss our little comment banters! LOL
hahah lady boss... I like the sound of that :)
Thanks for the compliments :)
We were actually chatting nicely the other day, and yeah, he just disappeared. He's probably just busy :) Got lot's of work with his trading I think.

Just check out those milestones and your age here on Steemit. Woah boy you really KNOW what you're doing.
Hey a shout out: My friend (who referred me to Steemit) @ghulammujtaba is doing something for a cause and I believe you should take a look at it whenever you get time. I don't think he gets much exposure on his posts but the work he's doing is extraordinary. He interviews people from Slums and streets and writes about their stories here.
Check him out here: https://steemit.com/@ghulammujtaba
Thanks brother! I appreciate that :)
I actually have seen @ghulammujtaba a few times in the last week. His content is awesome! Thanks for that recommendation. Very humble of you!
I am glad you have seen his work and found it nice. I have another recommendation just ready but will send her profile to you next week. I am SURE you're going to love what she does on her blog but doesn't get much attention.
Yeah man. I actually think he approached me.
Awesome :) Let me know!
I've been following you through this road and I'm very proud, you give us minnows hope, keep being humble and keep being yourself as always, Cheers!
You don't need to remind me bro ;) I know who my OG's are haha! You are one of them.
Thanks for your kind words and support. It's really awesome to witness!
congratulations bro! pleased to work with you, steemit is great but steemians are greater!
Thank bro! I appreciate that :) I can definitely say the same! You're a beast :D
Well said! Very true.
Congratulations for the awesome milestone. There is no stopping you β₯οΈ keep it up woth the good work
Thanks my man! You are one of my original followers! Remember since day 1.
Be positive and chase your dreams! How you doing since the other day?
I am indeed :D And I am happy I have started following You. :D Well not much but :( but it's life right? We do what we have to do eheheheh :D But thank You for asking :D
Hello @enazwahsdarb
This is a no small achievement. Will need to put in more hours into this. You have just inspired me by this post. congratulations
@eurogee
I appreciate those awesome words bro. I am glad my content was able to have that impact on you :)
Stay awesome my friend! Let's go!!!
@enazwahsdarb enjoy the process of who you are becomingπππ.
I started to apply the things that you said to me. Yesterday did a topic list so I will not run out of ideas. Did the 70% engagement part as well. Hope to find the right momentum soon.
I did join steemvoter so I could upvote your posts, @stackin and my other favorite bloggers within 20 minutes. I hope I am doing the right thing. That is why my upvote is earlier than my actual commentπππ.
Congratulations on your milestone hope you'll have 6k followers after a month because you deserve it. πππ Thanks for the help and for always inspiring me to do more through your posts. Really appreciate it. I really do.
Ahhmm by the way, I might bother you laterπππ.
Thank you for that. I am certainly enjoying this process and evolution. It's a huge thrill.
And there you go! Application is key :)
Ah I appreciate your kindness! That's really sweet of you to say :D
No worries! You know the drill ;)
Congratulations!!!. Greater things by His grace.Stay blessed.
Thank you my man! You are awesome :) Stay blessed!
I wonder how you managed to do it? We are just few days a part in joining steemit and I only got 1,276 followers and 1,204 posts. Not even half of your achievement...How did you do it? What is your secret? Can you make a post with the details on how you achieved such a milestone. I am very much challenged, then. I have to add two more hours of my 6 hours a day on steemit...or am I doing the right thing? Thanks @enazwahsdarb for the challenge.
Thank you for those kind words man. No worries, you do not need to compare :) But if you are asking out of inspiration, then awesome!
I have not yet made a guide on my approach and beliefs. I am getting a few requests lately to make one. I might just do one for you guys :)
There are no real 'secrets' or 'magic tricks'.. It's purely putting in the effort and passion. It's currently 4:30am. Most people would be asleep by this time, but I know how important responding to my comments can be. That's just a mentality example. Just doing what it takes, and what is required.
I would say it's not about the amount of time you spend, but rather how much productive work you get done. I am very blunt in this approach. For example, you say you're on Steemit for 6 hours a day.. What do you do in those 6? You need to ask yourself that. If you really work in those 6 hours, and not procrastinate, you can easily get 100-200 comments done, building solid connections, and making 2 high quality posts in the time.
But you see, we say we are grinding for 6 hours, etc, but 80% of the time is just wasted not making my real progress. That is the main reason why I said in my post that I am not satisfied. Not because I haven't made progress, but rather because I know how much progress was leaving on the table by still not being completely focused.
These results I have produced have realistically been at maybe 40% focus-levels. 60% of my time on this platform is still wasting by simply procrastinating.
Again, my approach is blunt with these things. It's simply having a reality check, and then adjusting.
Does that make sense?
Now, You're going to be the next garry vee or " look at my garage" man. It's amazing, how you're inspiration to many. Keep consistently inspiring people on their journey.
Talk soon !
Hahaha Tai Lopez :D
I appreciate those awesome words. Thank you for that.
Talk soon for sure! :)
dang those are some impressive numbers. Ive got a bunch more quality comments to make to reach those numbers! Congrats on all the followers
Thank you for that man! I appreciate that :)
Go for gold!! :) This is our time.
Holy cow you made a lot of posts in the short period of time its no wonder youre growing so fast.
Hahaha thanks man. It's actually waaay under my target. My target was to do at least 100 posts a day. So for that average over 86 days, i need to be at 8600+ posts already haha :D
That's just for me.. Thanks though! I appreciate your kind words.
That's what I'm following you and I will take it seriously
Ah thanks for that man! I appreciate your support.
Well done!! How to be you zane, hahaha!
Thanks Shawn! Hahaha :)
Go for gold bro.
I will zane... just like what you do ...
Wish you all the best and congratz @enazwahsdarb. ^_^
Followed and upvoted. :-D
Ah thanks for that man! Keep in touch!
I just started here 6 days ago and can't even imagine being where you are. Great job!! I have a feeling 'attitude' has everything to do with it.
Awesome stuff! Welcome to this platform then! How has your first 6 days been so far? :)
Thank you very much! I appreciate that. I think attitude is definitely one of the biggest factors. Especially in content creation, as attitude represents a certain level of passion, and passion is what portrays the true vibe of your content :)
I don't have a lot of ideas for content creation, but I guess I'll get there. First 6 days have been good. Getting a little reward now.
Beast. Congratulations.
Thank my man! I appreciate that. Congrats on your latest achievement too ;)
Oh my 54 reputation? Thank you. It took so long.
On your new baby boy brother!!! LOL
And yeah, the reputation too :)
Oh mehn thanks a lot. A new addition into the family.
Yeah man! Haha you thought it was for your rep :D
How are you guys coping with him so far?
Oh he is doing fine. He is well behaved so far. Thanks for asking.
On the rep. thing. Does the higher your reputation help your post in any way?.
Congratulations. Big progress in short time. Respect. :-)
Thank you very much! I'm glad you like what you see :)
