So this is a short story of how 2023 went.
Though i was sad things didnt go as i planned but at same time i gained some experience about the brutal part of life.

One day i want to come back to this thread, think back and just laugh it off

Though i will update this thread every 31st dec just so i could monitor my progress and knowing that people will surely come back and read motivates me more.

I am not good in writing sha so if you dont gerrit, then forgeh abourit.

Lets ride

So my goal was huge, like really big that sometimes people do not believe i could get there but i was just thrilled about it and decide to take one step at a time and it will get me 33yrs to get there if things go as i planned and i decide to jot down every little progress i make for the next 33yrs.

So on the 17th of feb 2022, i bought a POS terminal and started POS business.

The pic are the progress i made on 17 to 27th of february 2022.
Starting capital was just 30k, it wasnt enough but i got money from somewhere and raised it to 100k

The next pic is from 28 february to 6th march.

Business gave me few additional naira's daily.

this is from 21 march to 16th april.
Due to how tiring it is to write daily, i decide to write it weekly.
Things were still going smoothly and i felt this is how life should be

This is 18 april to 15th may.
This is when i started seeing what life is.
Life begin show me shege.

I was robbed at gun point on the 4th of May with some cash taken from me, so i decide to stop the POS business, borrow 100k from someone to buy a second hand keke worth 350k so i could drive and raise the needed capital for my goals, with interest of 15k

The Keke was faulty and i ended up spending so much trying to get it fixed but i couldnt.

I ended up selling it for 120k, just enough to pay back my loan and have 5k left.

With just 5k left, i had to run back to my village feeling sad and depressed, i decide to learn sewing in the village, but the speed at which i was taught is provoking and i dont want to waste my time on sewing.
So i left sewing and decide to learn barbing, i am still in the learning process sha

Now this is the main koko. i just wrote this one today.

My2023 resolution is to save and get back on my feet again and probably do something in 2024

Nope, it was just cash at hand.

Personally, I feel you should have stuck to you POS business and just beefed up security to prevent further robbery.

Transport business is expensive and risky too.

I wasnt going to do POS for the rest of my life na.
Sooner or later, i'd still stop the POS business

Nice one bro.

I have been thru pain too.

No pain , no gain.

Good luck.

Bro that's part of life. You loose, you gain. But don't let your loss eat you deep. Dust yourself up, keep your head up and keep moving.
Time will come when you look back and see how far you have gone, you will be glad you never gave up.

I like your spirit, keep everything you are doing legit, stay away from anything that will make you loose focus (stay away from women too; e get why)...
God will see you through...

I myself, this year was very rough. I lost alot.
Thank God the year is ending tonight and I am still alive. I believe since there is life, there is hope.
I'm starting again next year and I'm not giving up.

From POS entreprenuer to Keke Napep driving to Learning Fashion design to learning barbing all in 2022.
Alas! You have been through a lot
I pray that 2023 welcomes you with Favour, break through and open doors.
