I was like nah...there's no way I am doing this....
We can be hungry but we can manage our hunger ๐๐
@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 week๐ค.
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 โConnects exhausted.โ
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 didnโt 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:
โI found it very rude. I was helping people support their kids. You asked for a laptop.โ
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:
โIf nobody helps you, what next?โ
That was the turning point.
I started calling friends.
โBro, you get any small gig?โ
โEven $10 work I go do am.โ
One friend borrowed me his laptop.
Another gave me a $20 job.
Another gave me a ridiculous gig that wasnโt 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 wasnโt 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 didnโt see:
โข The begging
โข The embarrassment
โข The apologies
โข The small $10 wins
โข The borrowed laptop
If youโre 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 donโt 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.
Iโm not where I used to be.
And for that, I thank God.
Iโm still not where I want to be.
But Iโm no longer that guy sending desperate DMs without a laptop.
Along the journey, something beautiful happened...
I started mentoring people in my niche.
Iโve shared free resources.
Iโve given out laptops.
Iโve helped with money quietly.
Iโve helped people land their first freelance jobs.
And the funny part?
You wonโt 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 Iโve โarrived.โ
But because I understand that one small support can change someoneโs direction.
Iโm still building.
Still learning.
Still hungry.
But Iโm better than yesterday.
And thatโs enough motivation to keep going.
This phase you see is a journey..
Itโs not a destination.
We move. Every single day.
Keep pushing.
Your current struggle is not your final story.
