HOW STEEMIT CHANGED MY LIFE
Hello steemian friends. I want to say that I have always had it in mind of doing a post on my journey so far on this great platform and luckily, 
I'm truly grateful for this great opportunity to share my success story with you all and most especially to minnows not to give up, no matter what.
If you are always persistent, you will surely get it but if you are consistent, you will keep it. Consistency is everything.
LIFE COMMUNICATION
The word STEEMIT means a lot to me.
It means hope, progress, wealth and independence.
Right from my childhood, I have always looked forward to becoming an independent lady. Who can support herself, family and those around her.
Though I come from a comfortable home which is very supportive, I wanted to make a name for myself and also inspire others to do the same, especially my younger ones.
No one is ever too young to become rich and secure their future. The future is now for me and that is why, I make sure i do something that helps me realize my dream each day. This dream of mine has kept me on my toes.
As a student, I looked for decent jobs to do and learnt few skills like catering, bag and shoe making.
I remember starting a mini-shop in my hostel where I sold sachet water, zobo drinks with different flavors. The income from this business was quite encouraging but I desired for something bigger to do.
After school last year, April 2017, i worked for an organization which I dedicated my time and energy.
Working there really drained me, I worked from morning till very late in the evenings, even on weekends just to make sure I save some money to start-up my snack shop business but I was disappointed.
I wasn't paid for three good months and was also disrespected and looked down on by my boss who never appreciated my efforts.
The everyday insults became unbearable that I decided to leave the job. It was a really tough one because I really needed the money to start my business.
During this tough time, I learnt that:
God uses things, people to frustrate us and push us to better places we truly deserve. So, when challenges comes, it's God telling you that it's time to upgrade and this kept me moving.
I went home and started to assist my mum in her sports shop. But I was really worried, I kept searching for online businesses I could do to get capital but it seemed like the more I searched, the more I got confused and depressed.
So one faithful day, I was going through my whatsapp status and saw my cousin sister's post 
I felt this unusual excitement and peace in me when my steemit account was finally approved on the 8th of January 2018 
Never give up!
when one door closes, another will surely open.

My love😍 for Steemit started right from inception. That is why I penned down a love poem
to show my appreciation to this great community who is blessing and touching lives around the world.
Steemit is more than just a community, it's a home encompassed with so many blessings.
BUSINESS COMMUNICATION
Apart from doing tangible businesses such as snacks and juices. I'm also into the business of inspiring and motivating the depressed and down casted.
As a psychologist, my happiness lies in making people happy.
I also love to study and upgrade myself everyday.
Steemit has given me an avenue to share my thoughts to a larger world. It has also pushed me to read and research more about my field. Everyday is schooling and learning for me.
Blogging is not just a business but an institution of learning everyday from like minds and I'm proud to be part of this.
Isaac Asimovsad was right when he said self-education is the only kind of education there is.
