I was talking to a fellow Steemian a few days ago of why some new people don't take long on Steemit!
We had really a fascinating talk of which kind of people stick and probably taste some kind of success on Steemit.
It has come to my notice that most people don't spend long here on Steemit as they come with a quick money mindset.
I am not surprised though by these numbers of people giving up quickly on Steemit.It's a natural thing,nature taking its course!
The above statement might sound harsh but it's the truth.I say this as a Steemit promoter and mentor.
I have seen scenarios where people here make their first withdrawal and leave ie don't post again! Its depressing to see this happen.
I always thought that withdrawing money will motivate people to work harder! I was wrong,there are people money can't motivate.
I wrote a post sometime back of the 3 types of people in world which you can find here.
Let me summarise the article people by classifying the 3 types of people.
1. Those who make things Happen
This is the group that see an opportunity and seize it.They make things happen,these guys are the risk takers and are few....
Source.
If you are reading this ....you might probably be among this group(because you seized the Steemit opportunity).
2.Those Who watch things Happen
These are as the title says it....watch things.
I have told Steemit to many folks and many are still just watching.
There is also a big number of people who heard about Bitcoin back then and sadly are still watching ...so bad for them.
3. Those who Wonder what Happened!
As the title says.....wonder what happened.
The biggest majority of people in the world call here.This group is even hard to explain how they are!
There are some people who are still wondering what Facebook is after all this years of Facebook!
Why Did I Tell You Of These 3 Types of People???
I am glad you asked me that question and am replying shortly.
I gave you this details so that you be aware as you promote Steemit! I used to feel bad when I tell people about Steemit and they don't join!! It's nolonger the case.....
So What Kind Of People Stick and Taste Success on Steemit??
It's great that we have finally reached to the main part of why I wrote this post! There is a different kind of people who succeed on Steemit.
When is say succeed,i mean people who spend at least 6 months and above and are able to make some decent money!
I have realised the people who stick to Steemit and make some people whoever hard the start might be are
People who have always been searching for opportunities!
Let that above statement sink in before I give the explanation.The people who succeed on Steemit are the one's who have been searching for opportunities.
Let me put it clearly here,most of the people you see making it big are the one's who have always looked and tried many things ..!
They have done many things prior to Steemit. They have applied and done many online jobs.They have joined many scams and pyramids(obviously without them knowing!).
These people tried and joined all these things in the hope of bettering their lives,unfortunately they turn out bad for them!
I am not yet successful on Steemit,but i can relate to what I have written above there! I have done many online stuff that end up disappointing!
I have done and still do Network Marketing,all in the name of bettering myself and family.
I have realised that the more you try new things,the higher the chances of you getting that one thing that will work out and people out of ignorance will call you lucky.
I have read many stories of great Steemians here and have seen that striking similarity,they have done many things and looked and searched for opportunities.
If you have been searching for opportunities and then you land on Steemit....you feel like you have hit a jackpot! Get time and ask all those successful guys or those you call successful on Steemit(they all tell you their stories).
When i also look at our Ugandan community, the guys who make the most money are the ones who have looked for opportunities especially online ones!
It has to be noted that the number of people who want or are bettering their lives are always few!! It is how nature
In summary,the guys who make it big here are entrepreneurs! People who know it takes time to build something.
The people who believe in Steemit now are those who know the real money has not yet been made yet....The real money on Steemit will be made 5 year's from now.
If you have read this far and don't have a long-term mindset....you better develop it cos the money is coming in the near future.You need to set yourself up now.
Steemit is for people with the right success attitude! It's not for people with a poverty mindset.
I have done many promos and have seen this in play...There are a few folks who understand Steemit instantly..as in instantly.
I also have a habbit of asking some people I introduce Steemit to of why they joined ! When they tell me their stories, they connect to what I wrote above...they have been searching.....
In contrast,Steemit is not for short term thinkers....people thinking of only today.This is the poverty mindset.These are people who start complaining of how their posts don't make money just after one week or month.
Steemit is not for people with a get rich quick mentality!
It has to be noted that the world is filled with many poverty mindset people.
We just have to keep promoting Steemit until we get the people who are ready for Steemit.
There is little or no mentorship needed for people who have been searching for Steemit.
We have to go through many unserious folks though to find the gold ones!
Let us keep promoting Steemit until we find the searchers and we shall find them.
Steemit recently celebrated 1,000,000 accounts and it has to be noted that only 60,000 are active and am happy to be among this 60k!
If you have read til this far,you have a choice to quit or stick around and enjoy insane success 3 or 5 year's from now!
That was all I had for today

I'm glad I took my time to read this till the end. I suddenly discovered you upvoted my post so I decided to pay homage back to you account an I suddenly came across this amazing article of yours.
Thanks for taking your time to post this. You really made mention of what kills the spirit of wanting to continuing posting here on steemit, it that "get quick rick mindset". Lot of people joined steemit to make money. But when I was going to join I didn't.
Guess why sir?.
It is because studied the person who introduced me to steemit in person of @kesolink for about four(4) months before deciding to join the community. During those period I watched out to see what benefit he's actually gaining from the community. He gained a lot more than just earning money.
So that same mind set was what I came in into steemit with. To gain something lot more than money. That's the reason why I can never give up on steemit. I'm a full-time student who is 18hrs active during the week days.
You made mention of tree different kinds of people and I thank God I'm part of the ones who make those happens and not the others that watch things happening or wonder at things happening.
Your post really did motivate me and I'm glad I'm following you now. Looking forward to see what comes next from you. Thanks man!.
Thanks for the great comment and you have the right mindset already....Steemit has more than just the money!
Let us keep working and we meet at the top!
Thanks sir!.
Helo moses i need to learn about upvotes how come people dont upvote me am one of those you ibtrisuced steemit from the dh at ucu remember uru money
I totally agree. Often people come into Steemit with the expectation to make fast money here, only to find themselves disappointed with the reality. Everything compounds and that includes knowledge and money.
Its true everything does affect everything else
Lets continue working harder here.
In Indonesia has same problem.. So many stemian give up.. They are said about nothing vote and they dunno what they must to write. How the way we can sure them to spirit in this platform?
Let us just keep encouraging them and hope you do not give up hehehe.
You've got my 100%
We're the same visionaries who would've invested in Amazon and Google at a dollar had that been the new thing of our time.
And you're right about us all being tryers, I'll be the first to admit that I've been sucked into scams and dodgy dealings in the quest for wealth and greatness, but we're the ones that will eventually succeed or die trying - the entrepreneur mindset as you put it.
Peace
We are indeed early adopters....we just made 1m accounts and only 60k are active.....lets be in this for the long run
Sorry about all the scams bro hehehe...but life goes on
Get rich or die tryin....

I feeling happy ti tead your post about earning and people according to me it will be more intresting aftrr withdrawl.
@jaraumoses what your bringing out i indeed, the attitude; most of the newbies we join with alot of get rich fast mentality, which when chocked up by the challenges around we take off. Most of the people fail out because of the lack of commitment towards achieving a fore set goal to be achieved. thanks @jaraumoses for your words indeed being a newbie in uganda indeed your motivative to me through your posts
Like you always say: steemit is not for everybody
I will do my best to be active
