bro,we are just very similar.
I also went bankrupt too late 2016.I lost it all
No more working capita,I still had a roof though cos I renewed my rent not long ago before it happened.had cars I could no longer fuel too.reason my honda then fell apart.
Funny thing,my friend(importer) that lived with me at the time was so broke that there was a day he borrowed 400 hundred naira from me grin dude I saw hell and what caused the bankruptcy is the reason I am still indebted today.(fucking arabians duped the 3 of us in an export deal)
But guess what?another friend of mine(Mr v) saw how I was struggling,hopeless and frustrated and gave me a grant(cash gift) of €7,000 euros.He never asked or bothered about the money till date.
Funny thing is he left Nigeria and since I haven't been able to contact him again.
I owe my life to Vincent walahi.
Bro keep on that hustle,talk to people,don't be ashamed.you go heal.

After losing it all ,one lesson that I learnt & will keep has a rule of thumb is " when you think you have arrived and everything seems going fine...always roll with true friends that are rich as you are and who truly gat ur back any day ( coz when you are down,they will be the one to raise you vice versa)

mehn,the story plenty ,I no know which one to start with sef..then,a girl called me from school to come give her money to feed saying she has not eaten for the past 2 days,I told her to meet me at my favorite eatery then.. and I was like is it really possible for one not to eat for a whole day? don't you have friends or neighbor you could ask from,tears drops from her eyes narrating how hopeless her condition was,i paid for her food and gave her excess money to sort her self with ,her story got me thinking.."could it be possible for one to be broke and not find money to feed",( then I don't believe I can ever be broke, business was doing fine,alert keeps dropping ,money is in the bank and was giving it out generously too coz I hate seeing family member or my friends lack basic needs), lol) alias am gonna experience same unfortunate fate..when I lost it all,I stayed indoor for like a week straight with no food,my phones switched off,when u are rich nobody tends to give you free money coz they think you are fine thinking you got it all,all friends deserted ,mehn the experience is not a sweetable one... ( av scaled the first phase but trying to hustle my way out, huh..will definitely write a whole detailed book/diary about my ordeal when am back on my feet,lol)

It is very easy to go broke.mine was that I got scammed and the business I did was combined!2 other people.God I got confused.
So I was not only bankrupt but indebted as well.i did not switch off my phones tho,neither did I stay indoors.
I kept reaching out to fake friends that will mock and spread the word that I was broke grin
Funny thing is the guy that bailed me out,I didn't even ask him anything.
He called me to his job and asked me like a father,what is going wrong with you cos I don't understand you anymore.I was shocked and dumbfounded.he was like 39 at the time.
After explaining the whole thing to him,he took me to his room and handed me 14 pieces of €500 notes. shocked
And you know the funny thing?after he gave me the money,he switched topic immediately and handed me his car keys(a merc) and 4 plasma tvs to go give his wife and bring back his car.
No payback plan talk,no nothing!I was scared at first cos I thought it was some kind of trap grin but as days go by,I got use to it grin
So you also talked about losing properties,how did that happen?

he is really a God Sent!!! you were luckly,you rarely find such friend, despite the fact you were the one tipping them..

i have two other monicker I have when the going was Good.. it speaks volume about me,i later suspend it.

my net worth isnt much then but i was so comfortable then (maybe 3-4 million + a car + good online business,I started out with reselling data /airtime with 15 k borrowed money but God prove himself ,I raised it to 950k in less than 7month ,later expand and hit million ,got a car and buys land through my dad (the land was meant has a sock absorber if things goes south),unknowingly the land was having depute ,I got to know when everything finish and I resort to sell the land to stage a come.

I Use to buy stuff with my ATM card online I guess that's was where my ATM was hacked, I loose 1.7 million cash within 24hrs ,I was just getting debt alert ,firstly I thought it was an error.. I rushed to the nearest ATM machine to check and truly I was left with #750..chai,in years I cried and pple couldn't understand. I rushed home thinking of where to start,the money was meant to switch to other business, for like 6-7 months I was so sober staying home doing nothing was just managing the liitle cash left,selling house hold item on olx just to manage( me and my little daughter )

2016 through 2017 ending till i find a job but am not the 8-6 guy,going entrepreneur is my way.. raising fund back to start afresh .. not easy tho

desperate but not retards at all.be guided.
A lot of people have taken the bold step to take the risk and turn their stories and that of their family around.
They deserve accolades you hear?
No one wakes up and starts running without something pursuing him or her.

These days Im not so sure.
All I imagine ppl to be are minds with subtle differences in exposure and accrued knowledge.

from prostitutes to ceos to doctors to astronomers. Giving the exact same opportunity and having made the exact damning choices, our lives would be same.

I don't think it is that straight forward. I believe our capabilities are different, even when placed under condition. So, we are back to where we started from, some are knuckledheads, some are smart.

It's great to see a young business minded individual. Keep it up. Do your research online and make the necessary calls. Who told u that u can't get a better agent in Europe, better still get a small scale manufacturer and deal directly. Listen, don't belive that u will go up to come down. It's in your head. Get to a christ embassy Church near u

yeah trust me I've sent loads of emails and placed a lot of calls.gathering as much information as I can get.
At the bolded,I like that.you sound like you are in the distribution business,are you?Care to talk more on this cos I've got first hand experience on distribution in the past.
As for Europe,my problem isn't the slow agent alone but also the current price of fcfa.(it does not look good at all at this point).So if at all I'm gonna bring whiskey,then my best bet is JD.

message is simple @ logobenz.
always diversify. do not put all your eggs in one basket. since business is in waves some times good some times tough always have another source of income or another minor business which will tide you over.

I have a friend who is a major exporter, when times where tough my guy was importing cars to sell and also had started a fish farm.
I am sure you will bounce back soon, and when you do just look for a side hustle outside your main line
