It took years, and its still a work in progress, but I can see how the investment in time I made back then is still growing now.

The income growing is one thing, but the confidence I gained has been more than invaluable - blogging here on the blockchain and being a part of a group like Steemitmamas really made me be able to go out and get some freelancing gigs. When it was time to get that J.O.B I was able to negotiate a better salary, because I knew how much I could make on my own, at home.
