Surround yourself with great people
Morning fellow CTPTalkers and Steemians,
In my readings yesterday around Steem and CTP Talk I came across some very big negativity. I was at first shocked but then as I thought about it I was not really surprised. I won't give the exact details of what I read but I will give you the idea.
People struggle on Steem. People struggle hard. It is really hard to start and to make any money. What I read was someone really pissed off that they had been here for years and no one paid attention to their posts, blogs, hardly any engagement or upvotes.
I understand this, I understand how this happens. So what can you do about it. You have to find a purpose, a reason for people to engage with you. I believe you need a Tribe. I would not be on Steem if it was not for @jongolson and the CTP Tribe. I would not be here. I would have nothing to write about, I would have no reason other than "blaw blaw blaw".
Get your purpose, get a tribe, and start finding like minded people. Make friends with them, engage with them, comment on their posts, get on Discord and chat with them there. It is all about relationships and relationship building. Learn learn learn.
Most of all do not give up.
I am very thankful for the people I have met here, I have already name dropped Jon. Just of the top of my head there are @ph1102, @flaxz and @pixiepost. There are a lot more of you and you know who you are. Thank You all.
Just some challenges, Red Fish Rally did my writing and my circle of Steem Friends a world of good.
It can be done. It just needs time, a lot of hard work, a reason to be on the block chain and good people.
Speaking of good people. If you are struggling on Steem and want to learn about how we are all doing it over here on CTP Talk join me on Click Track Profit:
There is tonnes of great training there to help you out. I know you will be totally surprised by the support and what it has to offer. Yes it is also an affiliate marketing program, in my opinion the best one out there. The owns even have put out there how to do it all for FREE if you want to. No Excuses they call it.
So yes, you can do it. I can be one of those people, one of those friends that will support you here online.
Just incase you need some crypto CoinBase is giving some away: Free Crypto
Just saying. I bought a lot of Steem out of my free crypto :)
Now that I have my, hopefully, motivation out of the way.
Steem: $0.142661 USD (-1.35%) 0.00001654 BTC (-0.20%)
Bitcoin: $8,623.54 USD (-1.14%)
And for those of you missing Danielle Tiger #caturday
Have a great day all.

i agree with you too. this place is all about community and tribes allow like minded people to get together and grow.
it’s so important to be part of something here. i really believe that.
Wait till I get my video blog up later today. You may be mentioned in it also. ;)
Thank you for the mention, Bradley... And thanks for the picture of Danielle... My wife likes your cat a lot :)
And, I agree with you.. and I think that I know where did you find that negative comment... or not... Anyways, I have received some negative comments, but I have actually turn it to positive as I got a great idea for the future post...
So, even in negative things, you can find some positive side... On the other side, I want to help people to get out of that "negative state", but I will not accept to be lured into it...
Thanks for being part of the family!
Thank you. And it was not part of any of your posts :)
Thanks a lot for the mention Bradley, and a big welcome back to the block for Danielle Tiger, she is awesome.
And I think you mean the comment I got on my video yesterday from a very disappointed person, I will soon answer it too, just been thinking on the best way, plus didn't have time yesterday.
Yeah surrounding yourself with the right people is paramount, and we are very lucky in the CTPtalk tribe to have this, a community that supports each other and we grow as a whole because of it, thanks for being part of it, and stay awesome.
And being interactive sure makes it easy to get ideas for blog posts :)
Yeah it's the best inspiration for subjects to talk about, and also solving relevant problems that others are having.
Great post @bradleyarrow!
Stay out of the snow tomorrow.

I am lucky enough to be on the west coast of the island. No snow, no warning, no storm for us. :)
Lucky indeed, the west coast gets enough snow on the regular. The 40-60cm is probably just a good weekend for Marble.
Very true
Thank you so much for including me in the list, Bradley. I appreciate you greatly & am enjoying seeing your growth here on #ctptalk & #steem. You are so right - surrounding yourself with positive people who support & uplift you makes such a difference in your mindset. Even though it always starts from within, having others such as these help immensely. And after all, isn't that we are here to experience in this human existence? ;)
Love the photos, especially of Danielle Tiger. Timmy gives her a two paws up 😺
Keep up the awesome work. You are great!! :)
