Do it ashamed!
Listen to this Insight
<span class="html-content"> <p>One of the many things I love about my mom is her ability to develop money-making strategies. In my not so long life, I've seen my mom do more than 20 businesses. </p> <p>I'm not exaggerating. If you don't believe me, forget about it! I remember that one time she started selling cow meat bought from Katsina! I don't think there's anything my mom hasn't sold-except human beings, of course!</p> <p>Late last year, she saw an opportunity to make money by providing cab services in the evening in my town. During those hours, bikers are not allowed to commute with passengers. It was a brilliant idea, but it wasn't wearing a glamorous garment because our car was the only one of its kind in my town. The problem is that I expected people to notice, and some may believe we are legitimately suffering. </p><p>This is because I just got my Master's degree and went home to rest before going out and taking on the world. I had to assist her and I was the conductor! </p><p>Yes, I carried this khaki waist bag, and I was collecting money and giving people change. </p> <p>Mehnnn, I felt ashamed of myself and on her behalf. Occasionally, we'd pick some family friends, and they were surprised at what we were doing. </p><p>I can't forget the day we picked up my secondary school friend and I collected his money and gave him change. He knew I had just earned a Masters, and I could only imagine what was on his mind! </p> <p>One day, my mum made a statement in my local parlance that hit me while we were on our evening urgent 2k hustle. She said there's dignity in all labor and no one should feel ashamed of their job. </p><p>Simply put, we must grind irrespective of people's perception of our hustle. Most of the time, we forget that raw gold only looks beautiful after it has been refined.</p> <p>This would be a great place to say, "Praise the Lord!"</p> <p>Your business and hustle may look demeaning, but you must stay resolute. The process may not always be smooth, but such is life. </p> <p>Life no balance no mean say you no go try hustle so you go fit chop balanced diet!</p> <p>Don't let shame halt your business growth. Growth is less and less.</p> <p>DO IT ASHAMED </p><p>Strive </p><p>Hard </p><p>And </p><p>Make </p><p>Efforts </p><p><br></p><p><br></p> <p>Learn Unlearn Relearn </p> </span>
