I took a big risk relocating from Ibadan to Port Harcourt, i had no one in Ph, no friend , no family, no money for accommodation , no savings, no money for food ,just my one way tfare from Ibadan to Ph. Landed in Ph homeless , roaming around Dline.

but it didn't take long, i became a millionaire in Ph without support from Anyone. That decision to move from Ibadan was the best decision of my life. It was scary, but i faced the fear and conquered it. My friend that followed me to take that risk, is now in Spain

Not allowing everybody to be my friend.
You can simply just be an associate, accomplice.

I took a high risk to build TenantSide..ng, after running ads for 20 weeks.

If was a risk worth taking

Resigned from my well paying job to start a small company, and refused to take new offers when the business I ventured into seemed not to be paying my bills




Please don't try this now, it was a very risky and daring move, I almost ended up a failure and regretting before God came through for me and things turned around for good like magic

Pierocash:
No! I went to a celestial church at Olu obasanjo road with my friend, they sheltered us. I stayed just a month and learned a skill in barbering just for one month. I started to work at one salon around 2013, by 2015, I ventured into crypto trading, I learnt to trade Bitcoin. By 2017 , I hit my first $25k.. and it has been from one level to another. I just cut short the whole story for time sake

Genuinely seek God…
Beyond what you see on the pulpit.
Strive to have a personal relationship with God, and watch the birthing of a transformation in your life.
You can never go wrong with seeking God first.

A female friend that became family travelled and left her Toyota corrola in my care, I sold the car and invested the money in buying three pieces of land at a very cheap rate, before she came back in eight months i sold just one of the land and bought a better, more recent model of the car to replace the car for her since then it has been from glory to glory.

Self-employment without close mentoring is suicidal. I've been there so I understand you so well.

You went for oil bunkering abi?

Hand go soon touch you.

TheStoriesOfMan:
I don't take risks because the world is unfriendly to those who take risks and loose.

I have never taken risks and I won't try it or even think about it for a sec.

franchasofficia:
But one thing about self-employment or private venture is that you know you have no other option but to succeed, so you keep trying other things on the streets till breakthrough comes, that spirit was what saved me oh, if I had remained stubborn that I must make it from my initial business venture, by now na kpangolo I for de use waka for street de beg for alms, God forbid lolz

Leaving my old cycle of friends, believing in my solitude for two years with God grace and mercy.

Now the freedom and success is too loud for them to comprehend.

When you truly want to make it in life, change your friends and cycle without any drama nor fight.

They will try to mock you Out of it but trust your gut and have faith in God.

God never fails those that believe in him with gut's.

Slowly Letting go of my pride.

It only prevented me from getting loved because I was scared that if people knew me, they might hurt me and or they might find out that I'm not that interesting after all and finally leave
This led to series of games of Manipulation that made me appear to be what I wasn't. I ruined a lot of relationshipssssss this way

Pride prevent people from loving me because it built a wall around me that prevented people from knowing me.
One Love what or whom they know. Predictability/being predictable to a degree is a form of showing love.

If people don't know you because you make it hard for them to, they get uninterested and leave.

If people know you but they find out you're not as interesting as they thought you'd be, they'll still leave

If you do, you die. If you don't do, you'll still die. Isn't it better to do and die

franchasofficia:
You are correct but I didn't pass through Igbo apprenticeship system known as "Igba boi".


I went to university, graduated, worked for some time and out of one kind self-induced motivation and fear of growing in a firm where challenges of juju and all those stuffs become normal to keep one's position, I made the decision to resign and pursue private venture/business centered around my field back then.


So it wasn't as if I passed through any form of apprenticeship to master the business before I ventured into it like the "Nwa Boi" guys that serve a master for some years before starting theirs.

Okay, I'm a village woman who's afraid of the city life and city boys.

I worked as a barber for 2 years, in my first year as a barber , I had 1.2m naira savings between 2013 January to February 2014.

So you see, I had enough capital to go into trading. Besides, you don't need huge funds to start trading crypto. But I came in with over 1.8m naira then. I bought 1 Bitcoin, 100 , ethereum, dogecoin , several thousands amongst several others

Shawarmagirl:
When I was still in Nigeria 2023, I resigned from my job of 400k monthly to pick up another multinational job of 250k. People talked me down and I was also scared too. My decision is because the new job offers sponsorship abroad to their staff at interval and I had the plan of travelling but I don't have the finance. So I see the company as sure bet for me to use achieve my travelling plans.

Sorry short, I travelled as planned and I have been in the UK since 2023 till now.

Lesson: if I had consider the salary of 400k compared to that of 250k, probably I would have been facing Tinubulation now.
