Hello dearest steemians,I feel so lucky to be participating in this contest organised by one and only, the lady that I look up to on steemit @ngoenyi because of her hard work, selflessness and leadership.

1.**Tell me one of your greatest challenge on steemit, be detailed.how is it a challenge to you?**

 I faced many challenges from the start when I decided to sign up 3yrs ago on steemit because the person who told me about steemit was my husbands work mate who later threw in the towel after 2months.
I did not know who to reach out to for so many questions that I had but rather I kept on reading other peoples post to know how things were done.
And today I have learnt so many things through reading and following what others are doing but I still have my greatest challenge which is
 >"the withdraw process of steem".the whole process of doing the transaction.

 I don't seem to get it no matter how much I try to do it by myself.
I will always get lost in the middle of the transaction and then i dont know which step to go to next.
Its something that causes fear of loosing it all if you are not used to it

2.**How did you overcome it?**
I can't say that I have overcome it but rather I would say that I have learnt some steps which are leading me to the final step and I am no longer afraid to do it by myself.

I kept trying to do it when i was not withdrawing much so that if i made a mistake and i could loose i wouldnt loose much because its from making mistakes that we learn.

3.**Did anyone assist you.who?**
@yohan2on assisted me through how it's done but I feel once was not enough since he was doing it for me practically.
I feel I would get it when I do it practically with him guiding me on what to do through every step.
But I keep reading and watching videos on how to do it.
I still have fear that if I do it without him I may lose my steem/money.

4.what advice can you give to those who may likely face such challenge in future?
I will advise them to be patient with this since it involves money which you have earned. it's something that you cannot do alone but need time and practice to get it.

Nowadays most newbies all they want to know is how they can withdraw the money before even they make some, all I can say to them is that patients, efforts and knowledge about things concerning steemit plus to continuously steem with passion.

Growth on steemit takes time and so does every good thing.

Stay safe
