My story is one that shows how you can rise from Failure to Success,How you can rewrite your own story in a relatively short time if you lay the right foundations, have good core values and do the right things.
I stumbled on Digital Marketing and Trading the Financial Market after trying a series of businesses and failing in it.
Made my first 2 million in a month and in no time,I started doing above a million in one night of trading the Financial Market.
I must not forget to say this is after a series of dedicated hours of learning.
I was so happy and in no time,I moved from living from hands to mouth to being able to afford anything I want, I was also doing so much for my family as regards Finances and that made me so proud.
Learnt the act of DELAYED GRATIFICATION from books and I started saving my profit form Baking, Selling Digital Products,Trading the Financial Market in Dollars.
July 1st,2022,while in the Cake Studio,I unplugged my phone to check out a design I wanted to make for my customer and my phone went off.
Tried putting it on again and realized the phone had flashed itself, entered my email and password amidst the confusion I was experiencing with all that was happening and it signified that the password to my mail has just been changed....Alas! My phone was hacked right from my hands.
Technology is crazy!!! Ran to the Phone Village,did all I could but all to no avail.
Got a new phone to log into my Dollar wallet and all my savings of over $20,000 was gone.
It looked like my world was crushing down,how can I loose all in a day,crying became an hobby, gradually started loosing touch with myself as my Mum kept parading the Police station to see if we can get help
My information has been leaked by someone close to me and I can't imagine why?
Based on counsel,I left my business and all back home and relocated to an entirely different state, surrounded by the best of Humans,I decided to pick myself up again and started looking out for a new skill to learn.
All I came out with was the 2 plots of Land my friend,Oluwole had cajoled me to buy when I was making so much money...All Thanks to Him.
On a Fateful afternoon,I needed money to start trading again and I reached to the Real Estate Company I bought my lands from to know the current market price and inform them of my interest to sell one. I must state that all the documents of the land has been given to me and All the Right of Ownership has been transferred to me which means I can go ahead to sell my land all by myself but i just wanted to inform them. The admin begged that I allow him to get back to me as to the current price of the land and I couldn't hold my shock when she reached out 2 days later to tell me the land I bought for #2.950 000 was now selling for #5.3 million Naira in less than 2 years...Right there,it dawned on me that Real Estate was indeed a SECURITY and my answer to Financial Freedom.
I was both Overjoyed and full of Regrets,cried my eyes out knowing fully well that if only I was saving my money in Land,i wouldn't have lost it all. Decided to help as many people as possible to know the Truth I just discovered and securely invest in Real estate and that is what led me to where I am today...A Trusted Property Consultant .
Selling Lands is not just a skill,I have mastered and enjoyed doing it.
It's my Passion.
