10 years ago, I qualified as an accountant in Nigeria.
This year, I’m being inducted as a UK Chartered Accountant 🇬🇧
A thread on consistency, growth, and staying the course 🧵👇🏾
Motherhood is such a wild, beautiful contradiction. 🤍 It is simultaneously the hardest thing I’ve ever done and the most stunning experience of my life. 🥺
The fact that those two things can exist in the exact same moment is just mind-blowing. ✨💖
If you understood the power of compound interest, you’d stop waiting to “earn more” before investing.
£250 per paycheck into a stocks and shares ISA can turn into:
5 years → £15,407
10 years → £40,909
20 years → £151,874
30 years → £452,098
(assuming ~7% tax-free annual return)
The real power isn’t the amount you start with. It’s the time you stay consistent.
Start early. Stay boring. Let compounding do the heavy lifting.
Here’s a real career hack that has worked for me:
Keep a “wins” folder. Every achievement, feedback, result.
When it’s time for reviews, promotions or opportunities, you won’t be scrambling.
@Adebecks123 You’d typically need to join a district society near you, attend at least one meeting, introduce yourself and request a recommendation letter.
If you don’t know any, just search: “ICAN [your city] district society” or ask in ICAN student groups.
