Hey there all. My name is Steve and I'm new to Steem. I found Steem through some people I follow on YouTube who talk about cryptocurrency a lot. I thought I'd check in and see what it's all about. I'm 48 years old, married for 28 years, 2 kids (one graduated college, one still in college).
I have been an IT professional for 20 years but my real passion is network marketing. I found network marketing 7 years ago and fell in love with the profession. I haven't quit the day job yet (the benefits are just too amazing) but I spend as much time as I can trying to educate people on the power of network marketing. I don't try to convince people it's a legitimate business -- I spend my time who are willing to take a risk and find out for themself the truth.
Before that I spent 10 years as a wedding videographer. It was fun but I spent so much time away from my family I missed a big chunk of my kids growing up so I took the network marketing business to the next level and was able to retire from videography by replacing that income with the income from my network marketing business.
My new "curiosity" -- hopefully to become another stream of passive income is cryptocurrency. Not saying I know everything there is to know about it but I'm a sponge so I look forward to learning from everyone here.
I'm hoping I can contribute to the steem community with my knowledge of technology, videography and network marketing. I believe very strongly in adding value and providing quality information back to grow this community so I'm not looking at this as a "get rich quick" scheme. I believe in what Zig Ziglar says "You can get what YOU want by helping others get what THEY want."
I am here and ready to contribute in any way I can.
Take care and God bless,
Steve
