Hi friends,
This post made in order to help some young minds here on steemit that has the mindset of there is no job. The truth still remains that this is not true, there are more than one million jobs to do.
A wise man once said, if there are no jobs or employment, create one🤷. Indeed, you can be a wealth creator and liberate yourself from the shackles of unemployment.
I will tell you a little story of my days while in school.
My Hustling story
First experience
I had always wanted to make my own money in this life, infact, I wanted to start making the money as early as I could, so I started working in a supermarket where I earned #25,000, close150 steem, immediately I left secondary school, I was just 17yrs old then. I worked as a cashier where I calculate receive payment for goods purchased by customers
Second experience
I fried puff-puff and buns and sold to students very early in the morning on before they go to school. I used to wake up by 4am to start mixing my flour and other ingredients. It wasn't easy but my profit always motivated me.
Third experience
I had always loved drawing and painting, but I couldn't paint well on paper, suddenly I fell in love with painting people's faces because of how beautiful it made them look after the paintings, it is popularly know as makeup. I started learning makeup on YouTube on my own and I became good and had clients to make in exchange for money. I charge client from #3000 - #30000 (20 steem - 200 steem) depending on the event.
An example of what I can do with colours
A happy client
A natural makeup look
Fourth experience
When I enter the university, I found out that I needed other side hustle to add to the makeup skills because it doesn't often come by always. I started selling thrift. I looked out for the most needed type of thrift in my school vicinity and found out that nobody sells jeans skirt in my hostel, so I decided to sell jeans skirt. I will go to a place called ariaria in Abia state Nigeria, buy the thrift for #300 each (2 steem) and take them to my school to sell at #1000 each (6.667 steem). I used to go from room to room to sell them so that I can sell and make my profit.
Fifth experience
I went into wigging hair and revamping of old wigs. This one right here gave me what I called blood money, I could make #10000 (66.67 steem) from washing and revamping people's wigs in a day, depending on how I get jobs for the day.
Sixth experience
After my final exam, I started selling food in front of my hostel. I would wake up very early to go the market and buy food stuffs, cooked them in my room and bring it out by 5pm as dinner. I became very popular in my school because of the delicious food I was making for them. People started ordering foods online and I was making home delivery
All these were what I did to make money while in school
Since I left school, I have changed my environment and majority of the things I did while in school to make money couldn't yield me money as before. I had to do a rethink. I had to change my business strategy.
I will share some of my current businesses in my next post. Trust me, there are businesses that has given me sustainable money, I am yet to build wealth.
I wouldn't want to eat alone when I have a family here on steemit. You can also think on the above experiences I have shared.
Look at your environment and figure out what they are mostly demanding. What do they need, how can I get to capture them, what commodity will sell in my environment. These are the questions you need to ask before you choose a business to start.
I trust that this was helpful in shaping your mindset about about Jobs and it's availability.
NB: I couldn't get pictures for others because they are old experiences.
