As the first of three I've naturally been placed at a giving end rather than the receiving end or so I think. While growing up my mother would take some of my toys and give them to my younger brothers, she'd say I should learn to share as they (my younger brothers) will come to depend on me, I helped my younger ones with their homework and also share my snacks.
Then we started growing up and the responsibilities became more financial than physical, and not just my brothers, now I feel a sense of duty to my family to help in anyway I can and they too look up to me at times, so the need for financial stability and grit became ardent.
My education, side jobs and hustles are for one purpose only, to achieve financial stability, that will result in me being able to build my own house and provide efficiently for my family. Money for me is far from just a tool for pleasure it is a means of survival for my legacy.
So I started by selling clothes from my dorm, way back in college and then got a job as a baker right after college. The experiences from the later thought me how an organisation works and the chain of administration. My clothe business then thought me how to start up a business, though it failed, I picked up lessons that I know will help me in my future endeavours.
As technology is advancing, so are millions of people making huge returns on the internet. I will not be left behind, so I started first with cryptocurrency by buying some coins from the money I saved up while working as a baker, I can't work now as I'm on a compulsory national service for one year, but that won't slow my drive for financial success.
Writing was always around the corner and I kept postponing or maybe I thought I'll be bad at it, so I couldn't deign into it. My fears where what to write about, but thanks to this amazing platform (Hive), that's not a problem as there are hundreds of contest that not only gives you something to write about but also help improve your writing prowess.
I don't expect to get rich over night ( except if one of my coins do a 10000% increase over night), so I'll but in the work and slowly I'll gain financial stability, it'll mean alot for me to afford all what I want to get and do. Till then and even after, this Guy won't stop pushing the bar higher.
