Hi everyone, Welcome to my blog.
When it comes to the issue of money these days, the first thing that comes to mind is truly what value a person has to offer. This is because money gravitates towards people who could exchange some form of value for it, whether it's a product or a service kind of value that you offer.
In the time and age we find ourselves in today, almost everything can be outsourced online without having to meet people physically, and trust me, a lot of smart people have leveraged the internet to make a lot of money by creating value online in the form of products and services.
But if the world has to go without the internet, what are the things I can do to make money gravitate towards me? Well, this question got me really thinking: to what extent do people know me for the things I do? And so I will be sharing with you the things I do physically.
Very early in my life I learned that a person should have up to five streams of steady and sustainable income for them to be able to build wealth.
Growing up as a child, I always loved playing with broken electronics to see if I could fix them. This passion made me want to study electronics engineering, but you see, life happens sometimes, but I didn't let the fact that I wasn't going to study engineering in school stop me because later on I went and did a CompTIA A+ program with NIIT, an IT institute in Nigeria.
Then I started working with a computer engineer close to my place, and it was majorly desktop computers because that was his specialty, and I enjoyed helping business centers, especially to fix their desktops whenever they had bugs or power failures.
As a teenager, I enjoyed when my boss gave me tasks to format and install systems or just troubleshoot and diagnose faults because it gave me joy to see those business owners heave a sigh of relief knowing that whatever issues their PCs had would be fixed.
Moving from there, I went on to register under someone who repairs phones, and I learned phone repairs for another 6 months, and countless times I have helped people fix their phones, especially students, and the good thing about it is that one phone properly fixed can get you several recommendations.
Because of how I love adventures, I developed an interest in event decorations, which was the first skill I learned as far back as 2009 while I was still in senior secondary school.

The learning process wasn't so easy, but over the years I have been able to put a smile on the faces of couples, birthday celebrants, and various clients for other kinds of events.
As an adventure-loving person, event decoration is the skill that has taken me to about 4 states in Nigeria and has also taken me to different locations within Delta State and Ogun State, respectively, and has paid me—I wouldn't say the most, but definitely the highest—in terms of profit from a single job.
It has given me some knowledge in carpentry and welding because most of our centerpieces are made of wood or metal, aside from the glassware. And given the fact that I have gained some recognition over the years, I plan to further get trained and certified in event planning and management in order to effectively satisfy my clients and make their events indeed colorful and eventful.
Finally, as a lover of music, I play the drums, and sometimes I make some money doing that.
