Dear @Luzcypher I love your post. Thanks for all the metaphors, and the howtos with links to other posts that I am sure will be helpful. I'm new, but the appeal to me is that this is a big social experiment. I am willing to be authentic here in a way I have never done on another platform.

Thanks for the story of your wordpress video series. That is very compelling. I have a large following at a wordpress blog that I have been writing for about 10 years, and I want to bring that group of people over, but before I do, I need to understand this platform better myself, and be able to educate them so that they don't start with their hands out. I am looking forward to using this article as a resource. Do you mind if I link to it at www.ofsuccesslaw?

You gave a great deal of value in this post. Thank you for modeling the behavior that you are sharing. I love that this is an economy based on value. What I add to Steemit will be my 'currency.' I've just decided to not even think about the money I receive, but think about the people I meet, share what I have, and enjoy other's contributions. I love that you started out with Napoleon Hill, He was all about what you have to offer.
