Another piece of success story enriched with knowledge and wisdom from @dobartim... In any success journey the role of discipline cannot be overemphasized... I can relate with my knowledge of the spartan story, when you mentioned

I was spartanly disciplined and dedicated to becoming a successful Steemian.

Damn! Disciplined... But i'm sure it's not just about disciline but but being discipline doing what it takes like you expressed here, Communication. Your 20 years experience of educating on communication is not just a past time but has enriched you with wisdom and made you a well the thirsty can draw from.
I'm humble to be your student to satisfy my thirst to become a successful steemian.
Thanks for this wonderful piece @dobartim, looking forward to seeing you relate your tricks and techniques in your journey to success.
