No worries sounds like you have the right idea, I think you will do well on here with that sort of attitude :)

That's a great idea about getting your family in, this is also part of my own motivation - my family are hesitant to drop in.

I always advise the long term approach for investment in steem.

Once you have the steemit bug you tend to want everyone you like to get on here, it's like come here and take my money (upvote).

Thanks for the great comments, they are much appreciated :)
