How I Creatively Overcame Recession by enkienki(m): 4:46pm On Nov 26, 2016 |
Intense pressure,they say, is a precursor for creativity. This recession has been a blessing in disguise for me because when it sank its fangs in me,I was forced to re-evaluate my stance on several fronts just as any human being facing survival challenges would do. This re-evaluation was strictly influenced by my survival instincts. Before the recession, I had a business I managed with my wife. She would travel to Dubai or Thailand to buy some items to resell to our already-established contacts here in Nigeria. However, everything changed with the BASTARDIZATION of our currency (Naira). We lost virtually everything coupled with the fact that most of our customers were unable to meet up with their earlier demand of the goods I sell because of the prevailing economic situation.We were virtually living from hand to mouth for a whole month before I decided to sell my car to offset some bills and to feed my family. Luckily,my wife's elder sister returned from the US and decided to stay with us while she's in Nigeria. It was while we were sharing with her our helplessness and frustrations that she informed us of what she does as a side job while in US. She spends over 4 hours daily on the internet at home as a webcam model. The job entails that she striptease and engage in sexual activity with herself (Sometimes with her fiance) while tens of thousands of people watch her online via webcam. Her viewers would pay some money to watch her take off her top while others might pay to watch her engage in sex with her fiance. It was bizarre to me at first but she informed us of how much she makes on a weekly basis,I immediately got interested after all I have nothing to lose and it would be either myself or my wife or both of us only. To dust the story short, my wife and I have been into it for over 4 months and I must say the amount we make in forex compensates any remorse at all (We are yet to earn as much of income my in-law makes from it though). Things have really changed for good as a result of this new stream of income considering the huge amount we get when we convert the money to Naira. That's my story. Lesson learnt: Our limitations exist only in our minds. |
