"I mean I'm not going to be able to post every day so if that is at the requirement level I might as well give up now.

That is a bad mindset."

I don't believe the bad mindset as I refuse to accept that there is only one way of succeeding so I wouldn't give up anyway. I would work hard at my own approach, not yours. That's just what your line of thinking leads to as I won't and can't expect myself to post every day. I will succeed on Steemit but not through requiring myself to post daily. The bad mindset only exists if the requirement is posting daily, but it doesn't have to be. I'm going to post at the appropriate amount for me and still find success. It might take a smidgen longer but it will happen. There's not only one path or way to do things in anything and that includes Steemit. I can't post everyday so I won't, but I will do well on here and I will post good posts at the times that work best for my approach and life and content.
