You need a very supportive partner/friend who will constantly keep your light of hope burning.

Then constant legit effortsssss to bounce back. Note the "sssss", naturally you may need several efforts much more than what you even did initially to make it. It most times appear as if that winning or success spirit has deluded you, like you don'tknow how to do anything again, but you just have to keep keeping on by making several efforts.

That supportive partner/friend is very very important as a start, even if it means you sitting someone down to explain to him or her your situation and specifically tell him or her that you don't want money or any other thing from him but ONLY that constant moral support to always give you hope or lift up your spirit, that that is your sole wish from that person. It is greatly needed because there's high probability of more failures, and having failures in such vulnerable state is quite fatal.
May God help us all.

Thanks so much bro , I’ll save this in my dairy !!

My is pathetic, loss parent at age 14, started real hustle in somolu, servers in party and paper collating, to cut it short, finished service in 2015 and found out after six months that I have #1, 500 I account I cried like tomorrow no day, but turning points since day after, I pray never to experience such again in my life, not much of as it's expected but all my needs and that of wife and children meant with God ease.

Hmmmm. Left uniben 200level in 2013 to travel abroad and didn't bother deferring the admission. Long story short was duped by the travel agents and my dad who was my sole sponsor had even borrowed to make the travel work,lost said admission and funds to pursue the education was nonexistent altogether. Gathered myself up and learnt truck driving. And now I am a delivery truck driver if more than 6 years having driven different kinds of truck. What I have learnt from being in my lowest was I fought against depression by involving myself in intoxicants. As a man CLEAR head is needed for the rough journey ahead.

I see it as part of life, winning is beautiful and losing is painful but we can't pray for the rain and expect no sunshine.

I had to take up odd jobs just to keep body and soul together when I fell off and being someone who isn't ashamed of the hustle, fortune still wave me in again.

Yes, I have.

After my NYSC, I got a job in Abuja through a friend. The pay was so poor that despite working, I still had to call home for financial support just to survive the month. Eventually, I left and returned to Uyo.

By God's grace, one of my former bosses employed me, and things started looking up again. I worked there for about a year. Then, in January this year, barely two days after resuming from the Christmas break, we were called into a meeting and informed that the company's contract with the state government had been terminated. We were all asked to go home.

That day changed everything for me.

The job was my only source of income, and my house rent was already due. Within a short time, I lost my income, lost my apartment, and had to move in with my brother in Cross River State, who was also struggling to make ends meet.

I won't pretend it was easy. There were days I felt completely lost and broken. I prayed, fasted, and kept hoping for a breakthrough. I'm still rebuilding my life today.

So when people talk about going from grace to grass financially, I understand exactly what they mean. It is a painful experience that humbles you and changes the way you see life. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. But I also believe that difficult seasons do not last forever, and I trust that better days are ahead.

As I write this, I am still actively seeking employment and opportunities. If anyone here knows of any opening or is willing to give me a chance, I would be deeply grateful. I am ready to work, learn, and prove myself. My sincere hope is that sharing my experience might reach someone who can help me get back on my feet.

Thank you, and may God bless every helping hand.

People that are capable of helping are always scared of being scammed, not trusting anyone, especially if it has to do with investing through anyone.

I have been seeking business investors or farming financial partners to no avail for almost a decade. Even those that can not doubt your integrity will doubt your competence or whatever, therefore, declining to help. But let's not give up, let's keep hope alive.

I discovered surveys and used it to pull out, but in the process I sold the expensive things I own to stay afloat. My phones, laptop, bike, worst thing that can happen to you while going through this is to have a partner that doesn't help you in any way, I have no family to help out and my girlfriend is one stingy self centered person, so I just went offline and stopped communicating with her and every other useless people in my life, some won't even pick your call, they're only friends when the going is good, I isolated and focused, started a fresh and look for new hustles, at the end na surveys help me, things started improving after a gruelling three months, it's not entirely over but I'm thankful for the experience I singlehandedly pull myself out of.

dropping from Grace to grass is still manageable.i dropped from Grace to burrow pit.i invested millions in 3 tipper trucks in 2013 and ended up bankrupt.i started again by focusing on what I learnt and know best agriculture. From cucumber farming to pepper farming. Thank God I have crawled out of the burrow pit and standing on grassland.by his mercy we will move to Grace this year . No retreat no surrender

I really have interest in the cucumber farming but I was told it requires a lot of water which I don't have in luxury where I am. Can you shed more light and/or put me through please?

Got married, lost my high paying job same month. Wife felt really bad, believed she should be a blessing, not come into a home and them trouble comes. I was strong, I don't believe in such, I always believe "na who give up loose. Few months later, started freelancing and started earning regularly, I then switch to YouTube, built the first channel and then the second channel, the earnings where really high, I stopped freelancing and faced YouTube, felt so nice earning good foreign money steadily, life became really great. One year after, woke up to my first channel taken down, appealed and it was rejected. Two days later, the second channel was taken down for circumvention, almost went crazy. I was back to zero in term of earning. But as much as I felt bad, na who give up loose. Started my own business, tech related, registered as a white label for a bigger tech service company. God being great, things are great again. I tried to summarize everything, but in everything, I can tell you, just trust God and never give up. It will be as though everything is over, but one day, you will look back and thank God for where you are now.

Mine started immediately after meeting my wife too. Got married, things got worse. Going to 3 years now, still struggling to get back on.

Your response is a message of hope.

I have been there.
If you ever find yourself there, it’s not for you to worn yourself out; you simply & sincerely cry for grace from the one who gives grace, work hard with divine instructions, and you will bounce back with much more than you even had. However, remember that time and chance happen to everything.

time and chance...

I loved your story a lot, but I’d like to ask, in what niche did u freelance your white label on?
It’s ok to not be specific, I haven’t just understood the concept of white label in application
