If you want to stop being a minnow...
If you already are a dolphin or whale, skip reading this post and go directly to upvote. Thank you. :V JK
But in case you are still a minnow just like me... This post is for you!
And let me tell you this:
The first step to stop being a minnow is stop thinking like one!
Stop thinking your upvote is worth nothing!
Stop thinking that growing is impossible!
Stop thinking no one is ever going to notice you!
Stop thinking your posts aren't good enough!
Stop thinking you are the smallest fish in the tank!
Take all those negative thoughts out of your system, find your path and follow it. Modify it if necessary, adapt and keep growing, and very important: keep learning.
If you want to earn you first have to Learn!
Learning is one of the keys in steemit to keep growing. Learn from the others, from what they write and what they do. Everyone has something to teach (some teach what not to do).
U.ú and yes. I like to see myself as a very cool dolphin, because that's my goal. Although two months ago I was pregnant and I could actually see myself as a whale in the mirror LoLs
I hope I didn't bore you with this post. But really, consider changing your mind to possitive ;D
You, dear have nailed it and I'm resteeming this post because you GET IT:
Most don't understand that us dolphins and whales are just people who have needs....most of our needs are not even understood!
You need like $180 to cover those needs?lolololol yup, we're all human here... Except the bots (sorry umami)
Is there somehow I can help?
The quote you pointed out here is exactly I started my series to help people become better bloggers. After blogging for over a decade I have been through and learned a lot. All of which I hope to pass along to the people of steem.
Many people expect to be a success over night but that is never the case. It takes a lot of work, adaptation, and personal growth.

It's funny when you just tell people what to do. It removes the resistance and I really have to commend you on doing one thing really well:
ENTERTAINING ME WHILE I'M ON TWITTER!
I like your wacky sense of humor, so I've now added you to my auto upvote bot.
Thanks for being you!
I have a lot of fun on twitter, but yesterday was boring because you and @overkillcoin were so absent u.u
Btw I am very bad at receiving compliments... So... mmmh... i like turtles.
Thanks for the support and nice words!:)
I think I had a meeting from 11 to 1:30 or so... I HATE MEETINGS!! XD
(But I don't hate the people I meet with)
Turtles like you back.
xDDDDDDDD
me like turtles.
me not like meetings.
You sound Jamaican mon
Waahahah umami fruitally honest xD
me haz programs.
Good evening @stellabelle, I don't know how to do all these gifs and include them especially steemit-related ones.
Can you send me a link to a post that talked about it or can you spare some time to discuss it.
Thanks
@composer check her blog.
go to this link, then click on the gif you want. You get a "gif link" of code, so copy and then paste that.

Hahah. I could not go straight to upvote and I didnt want to read as well
So i went straight to view comments. Atleast not in your options. Lol.
juat? X DD
Dead right babe.
There are no shortcuts to success here. Whether it's learning what you're good at or learning new formatting techniques you always need to be moving forward.
Great post.
Yep! And I have the feeling that many come here even ignoring what cryptocurrencies are o.o they might be the first to give up for ignoring the most basic :/
You have said it all @fabiyamada. Some weeks ago, we were mentored by @africanunchained and over 20 of us got registered, but right now most of them have stopped posting and lost hope because they were getting low upvotes.
But i have resolved not to give up even with the obstacles. I have used this opportunity to connect with friends and also learn stuffs that will help me grow. Learning is a gradual process, so i have resolved to learn before i earn.
Rome was not built in a day
I have stopped thinking like a minnow and i know one day my impact will be felt in this great community.
Thanks to @stellabelle for resteeming, i wouldn't have seen this post if she hadn't resteemed it.
I am glad you survived! If you think like that you deserve what you want here :D
And thanks to @hornblende for resteeming this post, so I could see it! Cheers!
You are welcome @mit
Every minnow needed to read this article.
I love the way things go around here
If you win here, you can win anyway
I'm a minnow, but i refuse to see myself as one
Thanks for making me feel like i'm thinking the right thought
You nailed it!!!
First few days on steemit, and posts such as these are the power-ups i need to keep working to grow. Thank you.
You're welcome :D
This is well put and a cautiosly generated thought. Thanks for the inspiration to keep pressing on the mark not negativities.
You're welcome. I wish I could do more!
I went directly to the upvote. GJ!!!
So did I. It's a GENIUS TACTIC! I so surprised that no one else has used this...or i just missed it somehow! This gal has landed SQUARELY on my radar!
Waahahha I thought the beginning of the post could be considered aggresive to people who don't know me xD that's why I added the JK at the end... But I was actually kidding xD
Thanks for the upvotes x) giving an upvote in return for you would be like a joke so I won't :V xD actually I made a post about minnows upvoting whales...
RS brought me here and the opening sentence made me look further ..
It's not the British style, but I was drawn in to read more after those words!
british style? Do I write british style? or what do you mean?... xD ... seriously... I did mean nothing big with the first paragraph o.o but it seems like it was so successful o_o Lesson learned: be myself more often xD
3rd time lucky..(saved it this time!)4th5th go at posting...The opening line is upfront and bolshy, we Brits prefer to queue and drink tea in silence 😁
The joke came across too - bravo!
xD so let's have some tea and talk about an upvote, sir.
☕️ tea and up-vote, suits you ma'am 😊
Both are on their way...
:D yay!

Your post was very interesting and it was really the inspiration what minnows need now. We just have to believe in ourselves first.
I hope to see you become whale soon enough on Steemit.
That would be awesome :)
Also this tank is getting full of minnows, only the strongest will survive I think. Strongest minds with strongest ideas!
I agree "Survival of the fittest" applies here too.
That's true!
