@TechnicalBben Omg π, I literally didn't do an assememt similar this.
Your are looking for an intern oo 50k
And you listen a bunch of work assememt to use only excel for.
I was like nah...there's no way I am doing this....
We can be hungry but we can manage our hunger ππ
@stellanwosu_ Hi, I am Feyisara.
A Virtual Assistant who helps professionals and brands reclaim time and yield growth .
I help busy founders and executives stay more organized operations, even when workflows feel unmanageable.
Happy new weekπ€.
A mini-introduction
I help busy founders and executives stay organized through inbox, calendar, and admin support.
Less chaos. More focus.
2023. I was broke. Talented. And desperate.
I had been on Upwork for 3 months.
No job. No client. Just βConnects exhausted.β
I reached out to one of the top earners then.
Sent him a message. Asked for guidance.
He replied once.
I tried again months later.
the Truth is I didnβt even have a laptop then.
Imagine being a digital marketer without a laptop in Nigeria.
Na motivation and borrowed data I get.
That period he was doing a giveaway.
So I gathered courage and asked if he could help me get a laptop.
I even promised to pay back.
No response.
I followed up the next year.
He replied:
βI found it very rude. I was helping people support their kids. You asked for a laptop.β
That message humbled me.
Not because he said no.
But because I realized something.
Nobody owes you your dream.
I apologized.
Closed the chat.
Sat down with myself.
And asked one question:
βIf nobody helps you, what next?β
That was the turning point.
I started calling friends.
βBro, you get any small gig?β
βEven $10 work I go do am.β
One friend borrowed me his laptop.
Another gave me a $20 job.
Another gave me a ridiculous gig that wasnβt worth the stress.
I did all of them.
No pride.
No ego.
Just hunger.
With those small gigs, I bought my first laptop.
That laptop changed everything.
Even after buying it, it wasnβt easy.
Clients still ghosted.
Proposals still failed.
But this time, I had learned something bigger than freelancing:
Rejection is not an insult.
It is redirection.
I joined communities.
Built relationships.
Improved my skill.
Kept showing up.
Today when people see results, they think it was smooth.
They didnβt see:
β’ The begging
β’ The embarrassment
β’ The apologies
β’ The small $10 wins
β’ The borrowed laptop
If youβre in that phase right now, hear me clearly:
You are not behind.
You are building.
In Nigeria, things are not balanced.
You will hustle.
You will stretch.
You will swallow pride.
But donβt stop.
One small opportunity can change your level.
One borrowed laptop can become your breakthrough tool.
One connection can unlock your next season.
Fast forward to today.
Iβm not where I used to be.
And for that, I thank God.
Iβm still not where I want to be.
But Iβm no longer that guy sending desperate DMs without a laptop.
Along the journey, something beautiful happened...
I started mentoring people in my niche.
Iβve shared free resources.
Iβve given out laptops.
Iβve helped with money quietly.
Iβve helped people land their first freelance jobs.
And the funny part?
You wonβt see most of it online.
Because not everything is for social media.
Some impact is meant to stay private.
Life has a way of teaching you empathy through struggle.
The same way I once asked for help,
Today, I try to be the help I once needed.
Not because Iβve βarrived.β
But because I understand that one small support can change someoneβs direction.
Iβm still building.
Still learning.
Still hungry.
But Iβm better than yesterday.
And thatβs enough motivation to keep going.
This phase you see is a journey..
Itβs not a destination.
We move. Every single day.
Keep pushing.
Your current struggle is not your final story.
