@oluwabukufunmi There is no quick means to getting money legitly , aquire a skill, put your self out there(advertise that skill), it will take time(it's a process ) but definitely it will pay in the long run.

✅ "Haha, old enough to have learned a few things and young enough to keep learning! Why do you ask?"

Or, more professionally:

✅ "I usually keep personal details like my age private at work. I prefer letting my experience and performance speak for themselves."

The Principle: Highly strategic employees understand that their age doesn't determine their competence, maturity, leadership potential, or professional value. They avoid allowing personal information to become the basis for workplace assumptions.

How to Handle the Situation Professionally

A good employee may answer immediately because the question sounds harmless.

A highly strategic employee first considers why the coworker wants to know.

1. Understand the Context

Your coworker may be making conversation, planning a birthday celebration, or simply curious.

Don't automatically assume bad intentions.

2. Use Humor When Appropriate

Coworker: "How old are you?"

Employee: "Haha, why? Are you planning my birthday party?"

This keeps the conversation friendly without revealing your age.

3. Redirect Toward Professional Experience

If the question relates to your ability to perform a task:

"I've handled similar responsibilities successfully, and I'm confident in my ability to manage this assignment."

4. Set a Boundary Without Being Confrontational

"I prefer keeping my age private, but I appreciate you asking."

5. Distinguish Casual Curiosity From Legitimate Requirements

Some employment processes may lawfully require age or date-of-birth verification.

Handle those requests through authorized channels rather than casual conversations.

She has finally received the laptop I gave out for free!

Y'all, please hire her. Her designs are already clean, and she's been creating them on a phone. Imagine what she can do with a laptop.

Let's give a young Black woman an opportunity to grow. Support young talent.

Hire her!

I was officially inducted as an Associate Chartered Stockbroker(ACS) last week ✅

Grateful to God for bringing me this far!

Upward and Onward is the only way from here🦅

GUYYYYSSSS!!!

I made it to the list! 😭💃🏿

I was spotlighted among the top creators in Africa who are believers, and I still can't get over it.

But beyond that, I'm excited about something!

@btechexpo bringing believers in tech together in Lagos for an event tagged FAITHNOVATION on November 14th.

IT'S TOTALLY FREE!

If you're in Lagos and building a career in tech, this is an opportunity to connect, network, learn and meet other believers building amazing things.

Register here: https://t.co/xD6TJEteMb

One thing I strongly believe is that you can build your brand with God. Being a believer shouldn't stop you from entering bigger rooms or pursuing bigger opportunities.

Making this spotlight list has genuinely made my week.

Please repost so more believers in Lagos can see this and be part of it. ❤️

Globally, over 99.8% of live births do not result in maternal death. Maternal mortality is a serious public health concern, but we should distinguish between pregnancy carrying risks and pregnancy being a death sentence.

Just so you know.

I keep coming back to this line from The Psychology of Money:

"The ability to do what you want, when you want, with who you want, for as long as you want, is priceless. It is the highest dividend money pays."

Be honest with me.

If you could ask for ONE thing right now before the month ends,

what would you ask for?

[Don_p⚓ @Pedro_Amaechi]

@TechnicalBben I will humbly ask for a laptop (Lenovo ThinkPad P52) to be precise

If Upwork isn't generating results for you, maybe it's time to pivot to LinkedIn or other platforms. Here's why.

People will tell you it's a skill issue. But what if you've got the skills and you're just struggling to land your first client?

You're spending money on connects, sending proposals, and getting little or nothing in return. At some point, you need to change your strategy.

Here's what I'd do differently.

Go to LinkedIn. Find opportunities. Connect with potential clients. Pitch your services. Get the job first, then bring that client to Upwork to handle the contract.

And instead of buying reviews, find someone who genuinely needs your service. Do a small job for them, even if it's just $20. Deliver great work, earn an honest review, and build from there.

That's literally what I did.

I couldn't crack Upwork, so I stopped focusing on it and went out to find a client elsewhere. I found one, brought them to Upwork, and boom. That changed everything for me.

Sometimes, the problem isn't your skill. It's where you're looking for opportunities.

Stop putting all your eggs in one basket. Find the opportunity first, then use it to build your profile.

That's how I'd approach Upwork if I were starting again.

One thing I'm learning is that understanding SQL commands is one thing, but knowing how to arrange them is another! 😂

Still practicing. Don't give up on your learning journey! ❤️
