25k Steem Powered Up!

I hit a small little goal I set for myself...That about a year or so ago, never in a million years thought I would achieve...

First, a short back story!

I joined Steem in December 2017, right at the height of the crypto craze. Steem was hovering around 4-5 bucks each and still kept climbing. The price to me, was a steal because of what Steem represented. Massive, unheard of, opportunity!

I dove in and started soaking up as much information about the blockchain as I could...

I then wrote the 5-500-5000 Formula in January of 2018. The goal was simple...

1. Interact and Engage with 5 people everyday

2. Reach 500 Followers

3. Get my Steem Power to 5000.

Those were my goals for 2018....

I hit 500 followers in April of 2018, and then 5000 Steem Power about a year ago (October / November 2018)

I would have never thought that could be possible but I stuck to my formula and kept building...Every single day.

Since then, I've gone on to....

663 posts on 676 days of being on the blockchain....And 8650 comments as well.

So an average of 12.80 comments / engagement a day....And almost a post a day since I started....

And here we are!

25,000 Steem Power!!!!

Half way to Orca-Hood :)

And I really didn't do anything to be honest, that pushed my limits. Of course, super cheap Steem prices helped :)

But I never spent a penny more than I could afford to lose. I dollar cost averaged every week and just created content. Almost daily!

That attracted the support of some of the most amazing people I have met in my online career - The Steemians that make this place so special. I was supported with delegation from @NathanMars and @CaptainBob , your belief and support in both @SteemSavvy & @ClickTrackProfit meant so much! As well as upvotes from the awesome people here on Steem. Because I could have never reached this without the support and votes from everyone that has ever read my posts or engaged with me.

Thank you so much! I am beyond grateful!

So instead of pretending this is some Oscar speech, I'll leave you with this...

Create! Engage! Network!

This is the biggest opportunity I have ever been a part of and now is the time to take advantage of all the potential here...When the 'doubters' show up, this is when the foundations are laid.

On to the next 25k :)

The Union Is Here!

really great strategy! Since I have stoped using bidbots, I have begun interacting with the community much more and your 5 interactions a day sounds like an interesting concept. I'll look into your content 👍

I had set a goal to 50K Staked CTP tokens by the end of this year after I started almost 3 months ago and I am getting close. I have a long way to go to reach 25K Steem Power and, in fact, may not acquire more Steem Power. I am thinking more along the idea of using SPI as my Steem Power proxy, but haven't made a decision either way.

Congratulations Jon. The work you've done creating CTPTalk tribe and expanding its exposure is awesome.

I'm at 1.2 Steem, so I'm right behind you, lol! Seriousy, reaching your goal of 25K Steem is a massive achievement in the time frame you acquired it. It shows your dedication to what you believe in. Keep on Steemin to 50K!
@niallon11(77)· 2502d
Congrats on a huge milestone. WE have another potential Orca waiting to appear. All it takes is showing up and doing the right things to grow we've seen it with all of the users here now. Hopefully a lot more people take this chance to power up while the price is low and I'll meet you at 50k.

Amazing job @jongolson and I am right here with you, Dollar Cost Averaging with what I can afford.

I'm at about 5,000 Steem / SP for me and my family + @nathansenn donated 8,000 Steem to the @steem-ph project 😀

Always great to see people powering up so they can do more good here. I'm really tempted to buy more, but need to juggle my finances. I should reach 25k in a few months, but my earnings are down lately due to a certain troll. It will just take a little longer.

Steem on!
@maddogmike(68)· 2502d
Awesome sauce Jon, congratulations on hitting your goal.
@vgalue(75)· 2502d
Excellent, I congratulate you, it's all about perseverance and perseverance. For a while I kept the routine of creating 1 daily post, but the lack of support (votes) made me give up.

Fantastic Jon,

When I read a post like this from you, and others, it makes me realize what I can do, and how well I am doing in not even 3 month yet.

Thank you!

Bradley
@ianballantine(55)· 2503d
Thanks for sharing your success story, Jon. Means a lot to me and fellow CTPers. You are a true leader, and I am so grateful to have been following on behind, albeit at a distance.

You joined Steem, spent time trialing and researching this platform, then realigned the ClickTrackProfit website and the CTP community, all within two years. Massive effort, my friend, tyvm for introducing us to this wonderful place.

To me, CTP is about learning as you grow, and making money along the way. SteemIt and y/our tribe CTPtalk brings that earning to a much higher level.

View from afar: awesome sauce ahead!

Congrats bro. When Steem moons, you can now afford membership in the same golf resort as me. Keep grinding though, you need to roll up in at least a Bentley or we're turning you away.

This is so great Jon! I'm happy for you for reaching this milestone! What do you think, will you be an orca by the time SMTs will be on the mainnet? :) Or is that too soon?

Although not as impressive, I'm on my way to 10K. :)
@knowhow92(79)· 2503d
That's huge man. Congratulations. I am also trying to reach rep 70 and 3000 Steem power this year and things are looking good!
