@ Rival - New Milestone - Today I reached 1000 SP in 117 days

## If you believe, all is possible. I managed to reach 1000 SP in 117 days. Started with 0. ( no I did not buy any external steem yet)

## last week I also started as a witness for steemit. Some details below.
Yes, I produced my first 7 blocks in my first week. I am very happy about it and I want to thank you all for your help and making this possible.

## I always want to be as transparent as possible, Is this making me rich.
No way I decided to be a witness to be my next phase in steemit. Server costs are $50 a months so the coming months this will not make money.

## But
I am happy to be part of it.

I started Steemit almost 4 months ago. I really loved it from day 1. You can read my story here.

# Why a witness

Being a witness is a logical next step. A witness can help the total network and as I love the platform I would also make my contribution to it.

# My server

Do you really want to know...? I had some frustrations the last week. Selected a wrong VPS couldn't install it and had to invest in another one. see my blogs about is

https://steemit.com/witness/@rival/step-7-of-becoming-a-steemit-witness-yes-i-think-i-am-how-to-check-if-it-is-correctly-running

But now I have a very good one. The company is responsive, quick and everything was arranged within 30 minutes after buying.

## About me
I am 42 years old. Living together for 15 years with my wonderful girlfriend and have 2 kids a daughter (12 years) and a boy (10 years). We also have our own house bird “Nemo” . I live in a small village in the Netherlands.

Last 2 years I work as a Functional IT specialist were I “try” to implement improved business processes which help a company grow. These processes are the golden eggs of a company. Before I was more technical IT, but this will slowly die because in a few years all technical platforms will be just factories in big datacenters. You can make the difference in business processes!!

## Hobbies
-Tennis
-Golf
-Fishing
-Geocache

## My dream
As you can read everywhere in my posts I want to go the the USA in year 2019 with my family for a once in a lifetime holiday.

## What did I do in 4 months I am on steemit?
First of all, blogging and commenting like everyone does. But I think I can say I am dedicated to it and love to give some proper comments..

### But

I also tried to make some initiatives but it's really hard to get noticed as minnow. I really did my best. So I hope that being a witness also makes my initiatives more known.
just an example:
### Idea of a Worldwide Steemit day:
https://steemit.com/steemit/@rival/introducing-world-wide-steemit-day-the-day-we-shaken-up-the-rest-of-the-world

## And ( don't tell it to anybody else) I am the STEEM POWER RANGER
![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmf4tR1nLWWnu9wrfdUMrhFL4gYX67HhCfZRsBWuT4RDJL/image.png)

## Thanks

First of all I want to thank the whole Steemit community who makes this all possible.

Thank you for reading.

Damn man, that is one hell of an achievement! I'm close to a thousand now, but I deposited +/- 500 Steem! 
This must be a record or something. I really think it deserves a reward or some kind... Amazing!

Keep on steeming!
